[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of the utility model, an outdoor buried Ethernet data cable comprises:

[0032] The twisted pair group 100 includes four pairs of twisted pairs 110, each of which is formed by twisting two sub-wires, each of which includes a twisted conductor and an insulating layer wrapping the conductor. Two pairs of the four pairs of twisted pairs 110 are located at the central axis of the Ethernet data cable to form an internal twisted wire group 120, and the other two pairs of the four pairs of twisted pairs 110 are wound around the outer periphery of the internal twisted wire group 120 to form an external twisted wire group 130. The pitch diameter ratio of the twisted wire 110 is 1.2 to 3 times the pitch diameter ratio of the twisted pair 110 in the internal twisted wire group 120, the twisting directions of the two pairs of twisted wires 110 in the external twisted wire group 130 are opposite, and the twisting directions of the two pairs of twisted wires 110 in the internal twisted wire group 120 are opposite, wherein the twisted pair 110 has a backtwist of 50% to 80%, and the external twisted wire group 130 is wound into a cable around the outer periphery of the internal twisted wire group 120 and has a backtwist of 70% to 90%;

[0033] An inner lining layer 200 wraps the plurality of twisted pair wire groups 100;

[0034] An armor layer 300, wrapped around the inner lining layer 200;

[0035] The outer sheath 400 is wrapped around the armor layer 300 .

[0036] In the prior art, ordinary Ethernet data cables are used in underground environments. Due to the passage of ground vehicles and pedestrians, resonance occurs. The structure of the data cables is prone to change or the conductors are broken under the pressure of resonance. At the same time, the underground environment is also a challenge to the normal use of data cables.

[0037] In the present invention, the twisted pair group 100 includes four pairs of twisted pairs 110, and the twisted pairs 110 are formed by twisting two sub-wires, and the sub-wires include a twisted conductor and an insulating layer that wraps the conductor. The sub-wires are twisted, for example, the conductors are made of high-purity oxygen-free tinned copper with American wire gauge 24AWG and 23AWG, and the tinned copper is made of 7 regular strands, which increases the softness and torsion resistance of the sub-wires, and the softness and torsion resistance of the entire outdoor buried Ethernet data cable are improved. Two pairs of the four twisted pairs 110 are located at the central axis of the Ethernet data cable to form an internal twisted wire group 120, and the other two pairs of the four twisted pairs 110 are wound into cables around the outer periphery of the internal twisted wire group 120 to form an external twisted wire group 130. The four twisted pairs 110 are twisted together to form a frame, eliminating the need to introduce a skeleton. The pitch diameter ratio of the twisted pair 110 in the external twisted wire group 130 is 1.2 to 3 times the pitch diameter ratio of the twisted pair 110 in the internal twisted wire group 120. With the above pitch diameter ratio setting, the pitch diameter of the twisted pair 110 in the internal twisted wire group 120 is relatively small, providing a certain structural strength, which is beneficial to the cabling process of the external twisted wire group 130; the deformation of the two pairs of twisted pairs 110 in the external twisted wire group 130 is small, thereby improving the data transmission performance. The twisting directions of the two pairs of twisted pairs 110 in the external twisted wire group 130 are opposite, and the twisting directions of the two pairs of twisted pairs 110 in the internal twisted wire group 120 are opposite. The above setting of opposite twisting directions improves the ability of the Ethernet data cable to cope with expansion and contraction. Specifically, since the pitch diameter ratios of the external twisted wire group 130 and the internal twisted wire group 120 are different, and the internal twisting directions are opposite, the signal loss caused by the deformation of the cable due to the ground resonance pressure is eliminated.

[0038] The twisted pair 110 has a backtwist of 50% to 80%, and the outer twisted wire group 130 is wound around the outer periphery of the inner twisted wire group 120 to have a backtwist of 70% to 90%. Through the above two backtwist settings, the hidden danger of structural damage to the twisted pair 110 is reduced. During the cabling process, a magnetic powder constant tension pay-off frame is used to ensure the tension stability during the cabling process.

[0039] The inner lining layer 200 wraps the plurality of twisted pair wires 100. The inner lining layer 200 wraps and fixes the twisted pair wires 100, and provides a certain waterproof and airproof effect. The material of the inner lining layer 200 can be various types of common sheath materials, such as high-density polyvinyl chloride.

[0040] The armor layer 300 is wrapped around the inner lining layer 200 . The armor layer 300 mainly provides tensile strength and also provides an anti-puncture effect.

[0041] The outer sheath 400 is wrapped outside the armor layer 300, and the outer sheath 400 plays a protective role in the outermost layer. The material of the outer sheath 400 can also be optimized to provide special performance optimization. For example, the outer sheath 400 can be selected as a linear low-density polyethylene material. The strong water resistance and high tensile strength of linear low-density polyethylene are used to improve the overall structural strength and waterproof performance of the outdoor buried Ethernet data cable. Anti-rat and ant substances can also be added to the formula of the outer sheath 400 to provide corresponding effects.

[0042] In summary, the four pairs of twisted wires 110 are twisted together to form a frame, eliminating the need for a skeleton; the pitch diameter of the twisted wires 110 in the internal twisted wire group 120 is relatively small, providing a certain structural strength, which is beneficial to the cabling process of the external twisted wire group 130; the deformation of the two pairs of twisted wires 110 in the external twisted wire group 130 is relatively small, thereby improving the data transmission performance; since the pitch diameter ratios of the external twisted wire group 130 and the internal twisted wire group 120 are different, and the internal twisting directions are opposite, the signal loss caused by the deformation of the cable due to the ground resonance pressure is eliminated; the outdoor buried Ethernet data cable has high-strength mechanical pressure resistance, water and gas resistance, rodent and rat resistance, etc., which improves the service life and performance of the cable.

[0043] In one embodiment, the pitch diameter ratio of one twisted pair 110 in the inner twisted wire group 120 is 1.2 to 1.5 times that of the other; and the pitch diameter ratio of one twisted pair 110 in the outer twisted wire group 130 is 1.2 to 1.5 times that of the other.

[0044] In this embodiment, taking the internal twisted wire group 120 as an example, the pitch diameter ratios of the two twisted pairs 110 therein are made different, so as to achieve a better bonding effect between the two twisted pairs 110. For performance and processing considerations, the pitch diameter ratio difference should not be too large.

[0045] In one embodiment, the pitch ratios of the two pairs of twisted wires 110 in the internal twisted wire group 120 are 3.8 and 4.8 respectively.

[0046] In this embodiment, a suitable pitch diameter ratio of the two pairs of twisted wires 110 in the internal twisted wire group 120 is given according to the processing and use process in practice.

[0047] In one embodiment, the pitch ratios of the two pairs of twisted wires 110 in the external twisted wire group 130 are 5.8 and 6.3 respectively.

[0048] In this embodiment, a suitable pitch diameter ratio of the two pairs of twisted wires 110 in the external twisted wire group 130 is given according to the processing and use process in practice.

[0049] In one embodiment, the conductor is galvanized copper.

[0050] In this embodiment, the conductor uses high-purity oxygen-free tinned copper with American wire gauge 24AWG and 23AWG. The tinned copper uses 7 regular strands to increase the softness and torsion resistance of the sub-wires, and the softness and torsion resistance of the entire outdoor buried Ethernet data cable are improved. The conductor is tinned copper, which has an anti-oxidation function in a humid environment, ensuring the purity of the copper and the stability of signal transmission.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 In one embodiment, the twisted pair group 100 is wrapped with a water blocking tape layer 500, the inner lining layer 200 wraps the water blocking tape layer 500, and the water blocking tape layer 500 is filled with dry oil paste.

[0052] In this embodiment, the dry grease fills the space in the water-blocking tape layer 500 that is not occupied by the twisted pair cable group 100. The dry grease provides relatively superior radial and longitudinal waterproof and air-proof properties, which complements the radial waterproof and air-proof properties of the water-blocking tape layer 500. Through the cooperation of the water-blocking tape layer 500 and the dry grease, the use characteristics of the outdoor buried Ethernet data cable in gas and liquid environments are guaranteed.

[0053] In one embodiment, the outer sheath 400 is made of linear low-density polyethylene.

[0054] In this embodiment, the material of the outer sheath 400 is linear low-density polyethylene, and the strong water resistance and high tensile strength of linear low-density polyethylene are used to improve the overall structural strength and waterproof performance of the outdoor buried Ethernet data cable.

[0055] In one embodiment, the armor layer 300 is braided with 0.15 to 0.20 mm soft galvanized steel wires, and the braiding density is ≥ 90%.

[0056] In this embodiment, the armor layer 300 is a 0.2 mm soft steel wire braided armor, which increases the tensile strength of the armor layer 300 and improves the overall tensile strength of the outdoor buried Ethernet data cable. The armor layer 300 also protects the twisted pair group 100 and the inner lining layer 200 from various mechanical damages. The above braided structure improves the overall structural strength while retaining the bending performance, making the construction more convenient and easy.

[0057] In one embodiment, the lining layer 200 is made of high-density polyvinyl chloride.

[0058] In this embodiment, high-density polyvinyl chloride with a density of about 1.65 grams per cubic millimeter is used as the inner lining layer, which can withstand a pressure of 500 Newtons without breaking at minus 40 degrees Celsius to minus 90 degrees Celsius, thereby enhancing the overall pressure resistance of the outdoor buried Ethernet data cable.

[0059] In one embodiment, the twisted pair 110 has a 60% backtwist, and the outer twisted wire group 130 is cabled around the outer periphery of the inner twisted wire group 120 and has a 80% backtwist.

[0060] In this embodiment, based on the processing and use process in practice, preferred detwisting parameters of the twisted pair 110 and preferred detwisting parameters of the outer twisted wire group 130 wound into a cable around the outer periphery of the inner twisted wire group 120 are given.

[0061] In summary, in the outdoor buried Ethernet data cable provided by the utility model, four pairs of twisted pair wires 110 are twisted together to form a frame, eliminating the need for a skeleton; the pitch diameter of the twisted pair wires 110 in the internal twisted wire group 120 is relatively small, providing a certain structural strength, which is beneficial to the cabling process of the external twisted wire group 130; the deformation of the two pairs of twisted pair wires 110 in the external twisted wire group 130 is small, thereby improving the data transmission performance; since the pitch diameter ratio of the external twisted wire group 130 and the internal twisted wire group 120 is different, and the internal twisting directions are opposite, the signal loss caused by the deformation of the cable due to the ground resonance pressure is eliminated; the outdoor buried Ethernet data cable has high-strength mechanical pressure resistance, water and gas resistance, rodent and rat resistance and other properties, thereby improving the service life and performance of the cable.
