Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of intelligent optical fibers, and specifically to an electroluminescent optical cable, which mainly enables maintenance personnel to quickly and accurately sort out optical fiber routes, thereby greatly reducing the time for inspection, maintenance, and troubleshooting and improving the accuracy. Background Art

[0002] With the development of optical fiber communication, optical fiber resources are used in every corner of society. In terms of access network lines, especially fiber-to-the-home lines, there are a large number of optical cables in outdoor, indoor and indoor and outdoor access lines. Due to different construction times and paths, a large number of optical cables are intertwined with each other, and as the laying time goes by, the number and complexity of cross-entanglement become more and more serious. Even if some optical cables have color, silk screen, identification color strips and other identification means on the surface, they gradually become ineffective due to ultraviolet light and climate aging factors, and each optical cable cannot be accurately identified and distinguished. Once the optical cable line fails, it is almost impossible to find the route of the faulty optical cable under the current circumstances, which brings great difficulties to the maintenance and replacement of the access network line.

[0003] There are mainly two solutions in the related technology. One is to add identification lines, color rings, characters, or use colors to distinguish the surface of the optical cable sheath. However, in areas where optical cables are densely wired, these identification methods cannot achieve uniqueness, and the colors and identification lines are time-sensitive and will become blurred as the materials age, making it impossible to determine the construction route of the optical cable. The other is to incorporate plastic optical fiber into the optical cable, and when terminating, the plastic optical fiber port is synchronously externally terminated. Through an external light source or integrated coupling inside the connector, colored single-wavelength visible light is injected into the plastic optical fiber of the luminous optical cable, and a visible light band is formed on the surface of the outer sheath of the optical cable. This method has complex process and operation, poor luminous effect, and each port has at least two ends or connectors coupled to the light source, which affects on-site operation and aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this section is to summarize some aspects of the embodiments of the utility model and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments.

When describing the embodiments of the present invention, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional diagrams showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a new type of electro-stimulation light-emitting optical cable, comprising: at least one TPU tight-sleeved optical fiber 100, at least one group of cable components 200, at least one bundle of Kevlar fiber layers 300 and an outer sheath 400; the TPU tight-sleeved optical fiber 100 and the cable are arranged in the inner cavity of the outer sheath 400, the TPU tight-sleeved optical fiber 100 and the cable are arranged parallel to each other, and the Kevlar fiber layer 300 is filled between the outer sheath 400 and the cable component 200 and the TPU tight-sleeved optical fiber 100. The parallel arrangement of the TPU tight-sleeved optical fiber 100 and the cable ensures the close integration of the optical fiber and the power transmission without mutual interference. The Kevlar fiber layer 300 is filled between the outer sheath 400 and the internal components, providing additional mechanical protection, enhancing the tensile and impact resistance, and protecting the internal optical fiber and cable from damage by external forces.

[0022] The cable component 200 includes a bare cable 201 and / or a TPU tight sleeve cable 202. The bare cable 201 is used for basic power transmission, while the TPU tight sleeve cable 202 provides better protection and isolation to prevent environmental factors such as moisture and chemicals from corroding the cable, while reducing electromagnetic interference and maintaining stable cable performance.

[0023] The cable is made of conductive material, and high-quality conductive materials such as copper or aluminum are selected to ensure efficient power transmission and low resistance of the cable, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency and stability of signal transmission.

The thickness of the carbon coating 102 is 20nm to 40nm. The material of the TPU tight sleeve layer 103 is polyurethane material, and its thickness is 0.3 to 0.5mm. The optical fiber core 101 is responsible for the transmission of the optical signal, and the carbon coating 102 provides good anti-electromagnetic interference ability to protect the optical signal from the influence of external electromagnetic fields. The TPU tight sleeve layer increases physical protection to prevent mechanical damage and erosion by environmental factors. The thickness of the carbon coating 102 of 20nm to 40nm can effectively shield electromagnetic interference, while keeping the coating thin and light, not excessively increasing the rigidity and weight of the optical cable, and maintaining the flexibility of the optical fiber.
