Abstract
A downhole packer element includes an inner and outer cable wrapped layer positioned about an inflatable bladder. The inner and outer cable wrapped layers are formed from helically wrapped, parallel cables. The inner cable wrapped layer may be wrapped about a layer of slats. The outer cable wrapped layer may be surrounded by an outer cover. An end sub may serve to couple the downhole packer element to a mandrel.
