The invention discloses a cable insulation layer material long in service life and excellent in mechanical property. The cable insulation layer material is prepared from, by weight, 40-55 parts of polyethylene, 15-30 parts of ethylene vinyl acetate, 30-40 parts of modified polypropylene, 1-2.3 parts of polydimethylsiloxane with carboxyl as an end group, 1-2 parts of dibenzoyl peroxide, 0.5-1.2 parts of trimethyol propane triacrylate, 1-2 parts of triallyl cyanurate, 1.2-2.3 parts of zinc dimethacrylate, 1-1.5 parts of an anti-aging agent DFC-34, 0.2-0.7 part of poly(1,2-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethyl-quinoline), 1-1.8 parts of an antioxidant 168, 0.2-0.9 part of sorbitol, 0.5-1.8 parts of hydroxyl silicone oil, 0.4-0.9 part of magnesium stearate, 1-3 parts of zinc stearate, 2-7 parts of a polyamide hot-melt adhesive and 40-60 parts of a composite filler. The cable insulation layer material is good in thermal stability, good in mechanical property and long in service life.
