The cable core is composed of a central bundle tube and at least three rodent-proof components. The central bundle tube is composed of a central bundle tube body and an equal number of outer fiber tubes to the number of rodent-proof components. At least one first optical unit is disposed within the central bundle tube body.

The outer fiber tubes are located clockwise from the corresponding connecting components. An arcuate groove is formed between the outer fiber tubes and the central bundle tube body. At least one second optical unit is disposed within the outer fiber tubes. The rodent-proof component consists of a reinforcement member and a clamping member with a C-shaped cross section. A groove is formed in the clamping member. Within the same cross section, one end of the clamping member is connected to the side wall of the reinforcement member, while the other end of the clamping member is not connected to the side wall of the reinforcement member. The rodent-proof component corresponds to the external fiber tube in one-to-one correspondence. The other end of the clamping component is clamped into the arc groove, and the external fiber tube is located in the corresponding clamping component.

[0007] In the above-mentioned central bundle tube type rodent-proof optical cable, along the clockwise direction, the reinforcing member of the front rodent-proof component is connected with the clamping member of the rear rodent-proof component.

[0008] In the above-mentioned central bundle tube type rodent-proof optical cable, the distances between two adjacent outer fiber tubes are equal.

[0009] In the above-mentioned central bundle tube type rodent-proof optical cable, the arc groove is concentric with the outer fiber tube.

[0022] 2. An external fiber tube is provided in the receiving groove of the clamping component. The optical fiber in the external fiber tube is protected by the clamping component, which can effectively prevent rodents from gnawing on it.

[0023] 3. The reinforcing piece of the front rodent-proof component contacts the clamping piece of the rear rodent-proof component, so that the central bundle tube is completely located inside all rodent-proof components, thereby achieving a better rodent-proofing effect.

[0024] 4. The external fiber tubes are located outside the central bundle tube body. When one of the external fiber tubes is damaged, it will not affect the optical fibers in other external fiber tubes and the central bundle tube body, and the optical fibers can be distinguished through the external fiber tubes and the central bundle tube body.

[0025] 5. The reinforcements of two adjacent rodent-proof components do not touch each other. Compared with traditional GYXTS optical cables, the amount of reinforcements used is less, the weight is lighter, and the laying and transportation are more convenient.
