[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1 This application is described in further detail.

[0029] The embodiment of the present application discloses an instrument cable that is resistant to both low and high temperatures.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 The low-temperature and high-temperature resistant instrument cable includes a sheath layer 1. The sheath layer 1 is a hollow pipeline structure with openings at both ends. The sheath layer 1 includes an outer sheath 11, an armor layer 12 and an inner sheath 13 arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside. The outer sheath 11 and the inner sheath 13 are both made of halogen-free flame-retardant TPE material.

[0031] By providing three layers of protection on the outermost side of the cable, and using halogen-free flame-retardant TPE material for both the outer sheath 11 and the inner sheath 13, the instrument cable is resistant to both low and high temperatures. The temperature range of the sheath layer 1 can be extended to -75°C to 105°C. After aging the instrument cable in an air oven at 136°C for 168 hours, the change in tensile strength and elongation was less than 20%, and the brittle temperature reached -75°C. The structure and material of the sheath layer 1 make the instrument cable resistant to both low and high temperatures, while also exhibiting high flame retardancy, UV resistance, and oil resistance.

[0032] The armor layer 12 includes multiple galvanized steel wires 121. The diameter of the galvanized steel wires 121 is 0.9±0.03 mm. The multiple galvanized steel wires 121 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the sheath layer 1. Two adjacent galvanized steel wires 121 abut against each other. The galvanized steel wires 121 are armored outside the inner sheath 13 to protect the cable, thereby improving the structural strength and wear resistance of the cable.

[0033] A shielding layer 2 is provided on the inner side of the inner protective layer 13 , and the shielding layer 2 is made of a tinned copper wire braid.

[0034] A wrapping layer 3 is provided inside the shielding layer 2 .

[0035] A core layer 4 is disposed inside the sheath 3. This layer includes five twisted pairs 41 and a grounding conductor 1 42 for conducting noise to the ground. The five twisted pairs 41 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the shield 2. Each twisted pair 41 includes two insulated core wires 411 and a multi-core twisted grounding conductor 2 412. Each insulated core wire 411 includes a multi-core twisted core conductor 4111 and an insulating layer 4112 covering the core conductor 4111.

[0036] The first grounding conductor 42, the second grounding conductor 412, and the core conductor 4111 are all made of galvanized copper, and the insulating layer 4112 is made of PE material with a low dielectric constant.

[0037] The sheathing layer 3 comprises a first sheath 31 and a second sheath 32. Sheath 1 31 is wrapped around each twisted pair 41 to form the primary shielding structure. Sheath 2 32 is wrapped around the core layer 4. The five twisted pairs 41 and grounding conductor 1 42 are wrapped within sheath 2 32 to form the secondary shielding structure. Both sheaths 1 31 and 2 32 are constructed of aluminum foil Mylar tape. This double-layer aluminum foil shielding enhances the cable's anti-interference capabilities.

[0038] The three-layer shielding structure gives the instrument cable excellent signal transmission performance, low capacitance and low inductance, which is conducive to signal transmission.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
