Armored fiber optic cables and methods for making are disclosed that include an armor layer generally surrounding a fiber optic cable that includes at least one optical waveguide and a cable jacket. The cable jacket has an outer diameter and armor layer has an inner surface, wherein a gap exists between the outer diameter of the cable jacket and the inner surface of the armor layer. The armored fiber optic cable further includes a centering element disposed in the gap between the fiber optic cable and the armor layer. The centering element generally inhibits the fiber optic cable from moving away from a middle of the armored fiber optic cable towards the inner surface of the armor layer during winding of the armored fiber optic cable, thereby inhibiting wavy armor and/or preserving the optical performance of the at least one optical waveguide.
