In addition, it has oil resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, radiation resistance, and aging resistance. It also has unique self-lubricating and low friction properties, which meet the requirements for reliable use in harsh and complex environments and have a good service life.

[0056] Based on the above technical solution, the metal shielding layer 7 includes an aluminum-plastic composite strip and a first metal braided tube;

The metal shielding layer 4 adopts low-density aluminum-plastic composite tape and tin-plated copper-clad aluminum-magnesium alloy wire; 3. The metal armor layer 7 adopts a lightweight design; 4. The density of the insulation layer 2 and the sheath 8 is also lower than that of conventional irradiated cross-linked polyolefin materials; while meeting the high-density wiring requirements in the limited space of ships, it also reduces weight.
[0068] 3) Strong anti-interference ability
[0069] The cable's metal shielding layer 4 and outer metal armor layer 7 provide excellent electromagnetic shielding capabilities, which can greatly reduce signal interference and ensure reliable and stable signal transmission.
[0070] 4) Good flame retardant properties
[0071] The PEKK material used in insulation layer 2 and sheath 8 has an oxygen index much higher than that of ordinary flame-retardant materials, and has good flame-retardant properties; the glass fiber filler 5 and the wrapping layer 6 of high flame-retardant tape also have a strong flame-retardant effect; the cable can meet the Class A flame-retardant requirements for bundled cables.
[0072] 5) Good mechanical and physical properties

The metal shielding layer 4 and the metal armor layer 7 can also protect the cable core, reduce the damage to the cable core caused by external mechanical forces, and enhance the mechanical strength, tensile strength and bending performance of the cable.
[0074] 6) Environmental resistance
[0075] PEKK's sheath 8 has a low moisture absorption rate, which enables it to maintain stable performance in humid environments, reducing dimensional changes and performance degradation caused by moisture absorption. In addition, it is also resistant to oil, chemical corrosion, radiation, and aging. Furthermore, it has unique self-lubricating and low-friction properties, meeting the requirements for reliable use in harsh and complex environments and having a good service life.
