Can I be assured that cable with the following layers will not exhibit cold flow (see for full data sheet)?

Do I need to be concerned with only the outer-most layer (sheath)? Or does the material of the middle-layer insulation matter too?

Conductor - Soft annealed stranded tinned copper per ASTM B 33. A polyester tape separator is used over the conductor.

Insulation - Bostrig Type P chemically cross-inked polyolefin (XLPO), meeting IEEE 1580 (2001).

Armor - Braided bronze in accordance with IEEE 1580 (2001).

Sheath - Flame-retardant Arctic Neoprene applied over the armor, complying with Type N Neoprene as required in IEEE 1580 (2001).
