When the optical fiber 1 is bent, the strength of the optical fiber 1 itself can be enhanced to prevent the optical fiber 1 from breaking when it is bent.

[0022] Preferably, a reinforcement member 3 is provided in the inner sheath 4. In this embodiment, the reinforcement members 3 include two, which are symmetrically arranged with the optical fiber 1 as the center to achieve symmetrical support for the inner sheath 4, further enhance the supporting strength of the inner sheath 4, and prevent the optical cable from being deformed when being stretched or squeezed.

[0024] Preferably, a groove 7 is provided in the cavity 10 of the inner sheath 4 on one side facing the optical fiber 1, and the groove 7 is filled with fire extinguishing dry powder 11. By filling the fire extinguishing dry powder 11 at the bottom of the groove 7, the fire extinguishing dry powder 11 can play a role in extinguishing fire when the optical cable encounters an open fire, thereby buying precious time for the cable core to transmit signals.

[0025] In this embodiment, the buffer component 6 is a spring sheet. The buffer component is a spring sheet as a shock-absorbing and buffering measure, which is easy to install and can provide shock-proof and pressure-resistant protection and buffering performance for the cable core when the optical cable is subjected to external pressure.

[0026] Preferably, the outer surface of the inner sheath 4 is provided with a groove 2 8, and a tear rope 9 is provided in the groove 2 8.

[0029] Preferably, the inner sheath 4 is made of low-flammable, halogen-free and environmentally friendly material. The material design of the inner sheath 4 not only protects the cable core but also has the effect of fire prevention and environmental protection.

[0030] The utility model effectively achieves shockproof and pressure-resistant effects through the cavity 10 design of the inner protective layer 4 and the buffer component 6 in the cavity 10, and removes the grooves on the surface of the existing conventional butterfly optical cable, so that cicadas and the like cannot find familiar egg-laying sites, effectively preventing insect eggs from damaging the optical cable, and can adapt to the laying of various environments. In this embodiment, the optical cable adds a tight sheath 2 and a tear rope 9 on the surface of the optical fiber 1, which not only provides multiple protections for the optical fiber 1 but also facilitates the stripping of the optical cable.
