The reinforcing wire 7 is interspersed between the insulating protective layer 4 and the inner protective layer 5 on the power supply core 2 and the signal transmission core 3. The reinforcing wire 7 is made of aramid material. During cabling and twisting, a plurality of tensile-resistant aramid filaments are inserted inside the cable, which can enhance the tensile strength of the cable structure and ensure that the cable is not damaged by tension in the case of frequent reciprocating movement and bending. The sheathing layer 8 is coated on the outer surface of the shielding layer 6 on the power supply core 2 and the signal transmission core 3. The sheathing layer 8 is in the form of a polyester tape wrapping, which has good structural performance, good elasticity, corrosion resistance, and strong impact resistance, and can assist in enhancing the structural strength of the entire cable.

This ensures that the entire cable has good structural stability, thereby enhancing its durability. The shielding layer 1 6, shielding layer 2 9, and shielding reinforcement layer 11 structure are formed by tinned wire edges, which can play a good anti-interference effect, ensure the stability of signal transmission, and effectively isolate the influence of the external environment on the cable operation. The outer sheath layer 12 made of PVC with modified additives can make the cable have high elasticity and flexibility, and have good wear resistance, oil resistance, and chemical resistance, so that the cable can be used in a variety of complex environments.
