Abstract

The invention discloses an optical cable and a preparation method thereof. The optical cable comprises an optical fiber unit and a plurality of sheath layers, and solder layers are arranged between the sheath layers; wherein the solder layer is made of amorphous high polymer resin solder with the glass transition temperature ranging from 80 DEG C to 140 DEG C, the molecular weight ranges from 100,000 g / mol to 300,000 g / mol, and the thickness of the solder layer is 3%-7% of the radial thickness of the sheath layer. The method comprises the following steps that (1) a plurality of sheath strips and an optical fiber unit are combined into an optical cable prefabricated body, the sheath strips are used for being spliced to form a sheath layer, and the inner sides of the sheath strips are provided with solder layers; and (2) softening energy is applied to the optical cable prefabricated body, so that the welding flux layers which are in contact with each other in the prefabricated body are welded into a whole, the sheath strips form a sheath layer, the optical fiber unit is located at a preset position in the sheath layer, and the optical cable is obtained. According to the optical cable provided by the invention, the equipment investment is greatly saved, and the raw material consumption and cost in the production process are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of communication optical cables, and more specifically relates to an optical cable and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Optical cables are manufactured to meet optical, mechanical or environmental performance specifications. It is a communication cable assembly that uses one or more optical fibers placed in a sheath as a transmission medium and can be used individually or in groups. Optical cables are mainly composed of optical fibers (glass filaments as thin as hair), plastic protective sleeves and plastic sheaths. [0003] At present, the sheath forming process of the optical cable generally adopts the extrusion molding process: the thermoplastic material is heated and plasticized by the action between the extruder barrel and the screw, and is pushed forward by the screw, and then enters the cooling process to form the sheath. The sheath extrusion molding processing method is widely used ...
