The invention belongs to the technical field of cables and relates to a lightning protected cable for a communication base station. The lightning protected cable for the communication base station comprises a cable core, an inner protecting sleeve, an armor layer, an outer protecting sleeve and a ground layer. The lightning protected cable for the communication base station is characterized in that a first protecting layer is arranged outside the cable core, the inner protecting sleeve is arranged outside the first protecting layer, a second protecting layer is arranged outside the inner protecting sleeve, the ground layer is arranged outside the second protecting layer, the armor layer is arranged outside the ground layer, and the armor layer is coated with the outer protecting sleeve; the armor layer is a single-face film covering steel belt and the face, in contact with the ground layer, of the armor layer is a non-film-covering face; the first protecting layer and the second protecting layer are both mica tapes; the outer protecting sleeve comprises, by weight, the following raw materials of 71 parts of polyethylene, one part of anti-oxygen 1010, 12 parts of aluminum hydroxides, 0.5 part of HK-type antistatic agent, 3 parts of ethyl acetate, 1 part of carbon black, 10 parts of zirconium oxide and 1.5 parts of polyethylene wax. The lightning protected cable for the communication base station has the advantages of being simple in manufacturing, high in production speed, capable of enabling the electrical resisting rate of the ground layer to be low, low in maintaining cost, small in dust adsorption, pressure resistant, and good in flame resistance.
