[0025] In this embodiment, a layer of Z-shaped outer armored steel wire is armored outside the original round armored steel wire of the cable core to form a double-layer armored steel wire layer. Two adjacent Z-shaped steel wires can be well embedded together with a small gap, thereby improving the sealing effect.

The armored steel wire layer comprises an inner and outer layer, an inner layer comprised of Z-shaped inner armored steel wires 3, and an outer layer comprised of Z-shaped outer armored steel wires 4. The Z-shaped inner armored steel wires 3 are armored around the cable core, and the Z-shaped outer armored steel wires 4 are armored around the outer sides of the Z-shaped inner armored steel wires 3. The Z-shaped inner armored steel wires 3 and the Z-shaped outer armored steel wires 4 are armored in opposite directions.

[0027] Preferably, the tensile strength of the Z-shaped inner layer armored steel wire 3 and the Z-shaped outer layer armored steel wire 4 is not less than 1500 MPa. By using the Z-shaped steel wires with a tensile strength of not less than 1500 MPa in opposite directions in the insulation outer layer armor of the cable core, the adjacent Z-shaped steel wires can be well embedded together and play a sealing role under the action of external pressure. In this embodiment, 0.8mm 2 Up to 2.5mm 2 The small-section Z-shaped steel wire is tightly arranged, and the overall armor outer diameter is 5.6mm to 12.8mm.

[0028] In this embodiment, two adjacent Z-shaped steel wires can be well embedded together with a small gap, and the inner and outer layers of Z-shaped steel wire armor are in opposite directions with staggered gaps, resulting in a good sealing effect.

[0029] The cable core 1 is of any structure. Figure 3 To the attached Figure 8 The cable core 1 is described with reference to several structures shown in the figure, wherein the number of insulating cores is not limited to that listed in the figure, and generally the number of insulating cores ranges from 1 to 7 cores.

[0030] Refer to the attached Figure 3 In the third embodiment, the insulated wire core 1 is 1 core, and the wire core includes a conductor 1 51 and an insulation 1 61. The conductor 1 51 is extruded with an insulation 1 61, and the insulation 1 61 is armored with a circular inner armored steel wire 2 or a Z-shaped inner armored steel wire 3.

[0031] Refer to the attached Figure 4 In the fourth embodiment, the insulated core is composed of three cores, which are twisted into a cable at a certain pitch, a filling layer 71 is added in the middle of the cable core, and a wrapping tape 81 is wrapped around the outer layer of the cable core to form a cable core 1.

[0032] Refer to the attached Figure 5 In the fifth embodiment, the insulated core is 4 cores, and the 4 cores are twisted into a cable at a certain pitch. A filling layer 71 is added in the middle of the cable core, and a wrapping tape 81 is wrapped around the outer layer of the cable core to form a cable core 1.

[0033] Refer to the attached Figure 6 In the sixth embodiment, the insulated core is 7 cores, one of which is placed in the center, and the remaining 6 cores are twisted into a cable at a certain pitch. A filling layer 71 is added in the middle of the cable core, and a wrapping tape 81 is wrapped around the outer layer of the cable core to form a cable core 1.

[0034] According to the need, the optical fiber unit part can be added. The optical fiber unit is composed of optical fiber 9, grease filling 10, steel pipe sheath 11 and lining 12. Figure 7 In the embodiment seven, the optical fiber unit can be used alone, a steel tube sheath 11 is arranged outside the plurality of optical fibers 9, a grease filling 10 is arranged between the steel tube sheath 11 and the plurality of optical fibers 9, and a lining 12 is arranged outside the steel tube sheath 11.

[0035] It can also be compounded into the cable as required, see the attached Figure 8 In embodiment 8, the cable core 1 further comprises a second insulated core (power line). Multiple second insulated cores (power lines) are evenly twisted circumferentially around the optical fiber unit to form a cable. A second filler layer 72 is added to the center of the cable core, and a second wrapping tape 82 is wrapped around the outer surface of the cable core. The second insulated core (power line) comprises a second conductor 52 and a second insulation layer 62. The second conductor 52 is extruded with the second insulation layer 62.

[0036] Furthermore, the armor layer constructed with traditional round armor wires has an outwardly convex outer surface, resulting in a rough outer surface. This causes severe wear and tear on the cable during lowering and lifting, shortening its service life. The armor layer constructed with Z-shaped armor wires has a very smooth surface, significantly reducing wear and tear during lowering and lifting, extending its service life and reducing construction costs.
