Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of anti-external damage devices, and in particular relates to an anti-external damage device for communication optical cables. Background Art

[0002] As an important component of the power grid, the safe and stable operation of communication optical cables is directly related to the safety and reliability of the power grid. High-altitude communication optical cables refer to optical cables suspended from high-altitude utility poles or other supports using hoisting racks to achieve long-distance data transmission and network communication. Compared with traditional ground-based laying methods, high-altitude optical cables can avoid the damage and impact caused by ground construction. Communication optical cable anti-fracture devices are widely used in optical cable networks in industries such as power, communications, and transportation. The application of optical cable anti-fracture devices can significantly reduce the safety risks of power grids caused by optical cable failures. This is especially true in areas where communication optical cables installed at high altitudes are vulnerable to external forces. High-altitude communication optical cables are located in cross-over areas, natural disaster areas, and other places, making them extremely vulnerable to external forces such as severe weather. The application of such devices can significantly reduce the incidence of optical cable failures and improve the reliability and safety of optical cable networks.
