Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to communication field, specifically, relate to a cable. BACKGROUND

[0002] The equipment operation cable of information communication room is much and not easy to distinguish, and the main content of cable distinguishing operation and maintenance includes: cable port tracing and identification mark of cable bearing service content, the current cable data operation and maintenance mode mainly has the following several technical schemes:

[0003] 1. Identification label mark: in cable port tracing operation and maintenance, service cable is all through printing and pasting identification label, binding and tying nameplate to carry out port tracing, search and distinguish.

[0004] 2. Color distinction: in order to prevent misbreaking power line protection, stable control and other services, the cable bearing important power services such as protection and stable control is warned and distinguished through using red identification label with warning color at the port of cable two ends, which is convenient for cable port tracing and checking.

[0005] 3. Sequential cable investigation: important service cable plug and switch operation and switch operation require high port tracing, and do not allow cable misplug, interruption of other services and other errors, considering that the accuracy of identification label is uncontrollable, even the checking result is obviously wrong, when cable port tracing cannot be corresponded, generally the bound cable is opened to investigate sequentially, after checking that the cable is accurate, the plug and switch operation can be carried out, and the basic data of cable port corresponding relationship and cable identification label updating and maintenance are carried out afterwards.

[0006] 4. Registration of cable identification label basic data is carefully done, and updating and maintenance is carried out at any time, when port tracing is carried out through cable identification label, basic data should be checked and verified, so that the drawing is consistent with the actual situation, and is accurate and correct.

[0007] Power communication cable operation and maintenance is the foundation of power information communication system, and is also the most important part, with the rapid development of smart grid and power communication network, the number of cable needing port tracing presents exponential growth, the number of cable is more and more, the operation and maintenance difficulty is more and more, and the operation and maintenance quality requirement is higher and higher, the operation and maintenance personnel need to spend a lot of time and energy to carry out tracing management, the current operation and maintenance management mode has large workload, high operation and maintenance cost, and is easy to make mistakes, and the main shortcomings are as follows:

[0008] 1. There are too many types and quantities of power communication cables. Currently, cable ports and service names need to be marked manually by printing labels. However, due to the influence of staff's sense of responsibility, work energy and business skills, label content is prone to errors. Some cables may even be missing labels, or labels may fall off and be lost due to quality issues, which can easily lead to cable port traceability errors.

[0009] 2. For the verification of the consistency between drawings and reality in the management of basic information and communication data, and the traceability of cable ports, it is impossible to accurately determine the accuracy and uniqueness of cable port data by checking the cable locations registered in the data and the cable identification labels on site;

[0010] 3. The verification of cable port traceability information and the printing of identification labels are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and especially test the patience, energy and work efficiency of the operation and maintenance personnel.

[0011] 4. The port tracing and line investigation of important business cables is labor-intensive and can easily lead to the risk of unplanned business interruptions due to reasons such as loosening of other cable business ports, shedding of cable identification labels, and damage to cables. This is the most reluctant but final choice in cable operation and maintenance.

[0012] 5. Since errors in cable port tracing can easily lead to various security incidents, "various cables without labels, incorrect labels, and unrecognizable labels" are included in the device violation management and control. During various safety inspections, the investigation and punishment of such violations are extremely lethal to front-line operation and maintenance personnel, who are very easy to be affected.

[0013] Furthermore, the plugging and unplugging operations of cables, such as channel adjustment, reliability verification, and cable withdrawal, are very frequent, and the traceability requirements for cable ports are also very high. Verifying various business cables through cable labeling not only consumes a lot of energy, but also cannot guarantee accuracy. It may even cause security incidents such as accidental disconnection of cables, resulting in unplanned business interruptions. This is a pain point and difficulty in the daily operation and maintenance of information and communications, and in basic management, and has caused great difficulties in the basic operation and maintenance management of various cables.

[0014] Therefore, the cables used in the prior art are identified by labels, but the labels are not accurate and the instructions on the labels are not clear enough, resulting in a technical problem that the cables cannot be traced quickly.

[0015] With respect to the problem that the cables used in the above-mentioned prior art cannot be quickly traced, no effective solution has been proposed so far. Utility Model Content

In addition to refined operation and maintenance management and improving the sense of responsibility and business skills of operation and maintenance personnel, the technical solution provided by this utility model improves the level of cable management through technological innovation to improve the operating cable structure and solve the problem of difficult cable traceability management from the root.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, a design idea and implementation method is provided in which a light-emitting component is added to the cable so that the cable is illuminated throughout for port tracing. The protection point is a light-emitting cable added to the cable, which is fixed with a transparent heat shrink tube and then driven to emit light.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present utility model, by illuminating the entire cable line, the direction of the cable and the cable port can be found quickly, accurately and very intuitively, solving the problem that the cable port tracing is complicated, difficult and error-prone, eliminating the security incidents of service interruption caused by accidental plugging and unplugging, reducing the workload of cable operation and maintenance port tracing management, and improving the accuracy of cable port tracing.

[0065] Cable samples provided by this utility model were tested in an information and communications equipment room.

Power protection, stabilization channels, and critical services can be distinguished by different colored luminous cables, providing a very effective warning.

[0066] The serial numbers of the above embodiments of the present invention are for description only and do not represent the advantages or disadvantages of the embodiments.

[0067] In the above embodiments of the present invention, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
