[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an optoelectronic composite cable, comprising a core, an optical fiber assembly, a wrapping layer, and an outer sheath;
[0007] The wire cores are arranged in a circular pattern, the optical fiber assembly is located at the center of the arrangement of the wire cores, a plurality of the wire cores are twisted together with the optical fiber assembly, the cladding layer is located on the outside of the wire cores and the optical fiber assembly, and an outer sheath is extruded on the outside of the cladding layer.

[0023] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an optoelectronic composite cable, including a wire core, an optical fiber assembly, a cladding layer 600, and an outer sheath; the wire core is arranged in a circular pattern, the optical fiber assembly is located at the center of the wire core arrangement, the cladding layer 600 is located on the outside of the wire core and the optical fiber assembly, and an outer sheath is extruded on the outside of the cladding layer 600; the optical fiber assembly includes two optical fibers 300 and a braided layer 400 wrapped around the two optical fibers 300, the braided layer 400 being made of aramid material.
[0025] That is, the optoelectronic composite cable provided by this utility model reduces the probability of the optical fiber 300 being excessively squeezed by wrapping the optical fiber 300 in a braided layer 400 made of aramid material and setting the entire optical fiber assembly at the center of the core arrangement. This solves the technical problem in the prior art where the optical fiber 300 is buried in the filler strip and set in the gap of the core, and the optical fiber 300 is easily subjected to excessive compression in complex working environments, causing the optical fiber 300 to break and be damaged. This improves the service life of the optoelectronic composite cable.
[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, six fiber cores are arranged circumferentially along their cross-sectional direction. The fiber optic assembly is positioned parallel to the geometric center of this core arrangement. The fiber optic assembly has two parallel optical fibers 300, with a braided layer 400 wrapped around their outer surfaces. The braided layer 400 is made of aramid fiber, which possesses good flexibility, high strength, high abrasion resistance, and tear resistance, improving the tensile strength of the cable and protecting the optical fibers 300 from damage. A cladding layer 600 is located outside the cores and the fiber optic assembly, with an outer sheath extruded onto its outer surface, further protecting the optical fibers 300 and cores. In this embodiment, the cladding layer 600 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which has good flexibility, providing shaping and protection by encasing the cable.
[0027] Furthermore, the wire core includes a conductor 100 and an insulation layer 200 extruded onto the outer surface of the conductor 100, the insulation layer 200 being made of perfluoroethylene propylene.
[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, conductor 100 is made of silver-plated copper wire stranded together. Silver-plated copper wire has excellent electrical conductivity; silver plating improves the conductivity of the copper wire, reduces resistance, and increases transmission efficiency. Silver-plated copper wire also has good thermal conductivity, making it suitable for applications operating in high-temperature environments. Silver has high thermal conductivity, effectively transferring heat. Silver also has strong oxidation and corrosion resistance; the silver plating layer effectively prevents the copper wire from being oxidized and corroded, extending its service life. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of conductor 100 is set to 0.08 mm², and its structure consists of seven 0.12 mm silver-plated copper wires stranded together. The insulation layer 200 is polytetrafluoroethylene propylene (FEP), extruded onto the surface of conductor 100, with a thickness of 0.1–1.0 mm, which is 0.21 mm in this embodiment. The outer diameter of the insulation layer is 0.78 mm. Perfluoroethylene propylene (FEP) has high thermal stability, aging resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and flame retardancy. FEP also has good dielectric strength and insulation resistance, making it very suitable for use as an insulation material.
[0029] Furthermore, the optoelectronic composite cable also includes a filler rope 500, which is disposed in the gap between the wire core and the optical fiber assembly, and is twisted together with the wire core and the optical fiber assembly.
[0030] Specifically, the filler rope 500 consists of two strands, positioned in the gap between the wire core and the optical fiber assembly, and twisted together with the rope, wire core, and optical fiber assembly. By incorporating the filler rope 500, the optoelectronic composite cable achieves a rounded shape, thereby improving its tensile strength.
[0031] Preferably, the filler rope 500 is made of aramid fiber material.
[0032] Specifically, the filler rope 500 is made of aramid fiber material. Aramid fiber has good flexibility, high strength, and high wear resistance, which can improve the tensile strength of the optoelectronic composite cable and greatly enhance the cable's tensile strength.
[0033] Furthermore, the optoelectronic composite cable also includes a shielding layer 700, which is disposed between the wrapping layer 600 and the outer sheath, and the shielding layer 700 is made of silver-plated copper wire material.
[0034] Specifically, the shielding layer 700 is made of silver-plated copper wire braid, which can serve to shield electromagnetic interference. In this embodiment, the braiding shielding density of the shielding layer 700 is greater than 90%, preferably set to 95%, thereby ensuring the shielding effect of the shielding layer 700.
[0035] Furthermore, the outer sheath 800 is made of polyether polyurethane material, and the thickness of the outer sheath 800 is set to 0.6 to 3 mm.
[0036] Specifically, the outer sheath 800 is made of polyether polyurethane (TPU). TPU has superior scratch resistance compared to other materials, with a tensile strength greater than 25 MPa, elongation at break greater than 500%, and tear strength greater than 40 N / mm. Its excellent mechanical properties effectively protect the cable from damage. TPU also exhibits strong resistance to acids, alkalis, and oils, making it suitable for use in environments such as seawater. In this embodiment, the thickness of the outer sheath 800 is set to 1.8 mm to ensure its protective effect.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
