Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of communication optical cables, and in particular to a novel optoelectronic hybrid cable. Background Technology
[0002] In the current fields of communication and power transmission, with the rapid development of information technology and the widespread application of smart devices, the demand for optical cables that can simultaneously provide high-speed data transmission and power supply is increasing.
[0003] The traditional separate laying of optical cables and power lines not only increases installation costs and construction complexity, but also occupies more space. Secondly, since optical fibers are extremely sensitive to electromagnetic interference, when power lines and optical cables are laid close together, the electromagnetic field generated during power transmission may interfere with the stable transmission of optical fiber signals, leading to a decrease in data quality or even communication interruption. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a novel optoelectronic hybrid cable that can ensure efficient data transmission and stable power supply while possessing good mechanical properties and tensile strength, adapting to complex and ever-changing installation environments, reducing installation costs, and improving resource utilization efficiency.
[0005] This utility model discloses a novel optoelectronic hybrid cable, the optical cable body comprising:
[0006] It has at least one optical fiber channel and at least one power line channel inside, and the optical fiber channel and the power line channel are isolated from each other within the optical cable body to avoid signal interference;
[0007] Fiber optic channels are used to house fiber optic units for transmitting optical signals;
[0008] Power line channels are used to house electrical conductor units for transmitting electrical energy;
[0009] The reinforcing core, located inside the optical cable body, extends along the length of the optical cable body and is used to improve the mechanical strength and tensile strength of the optical cable body.
[0010] The protective layer is the outermost layer of the optical cable body, protecting the internal optical fiber units and electrical conductor units from damage.
[0011] A buffer layer, filling the protective layer, separates the fiber optic units from the electrical conductor units.
[0012] Furthermore, the optical fiber units and electrical conductor units are arranged in a spiral shape along the length of the optical cable.
[0013] Preferably, the buffer layer is made of an elastic material to absorb external impact forces.
[0014] Furthermore, the conductor unit is made of multiple strands of fine copper wire twisted together, and the conductor unit is covered with a separate insulating sheath, which is provided with a shielding layer.
[0015] Preferably, the protective layer includes:
[0016] The outer sheath is made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to improve the durability of the optical cable and its resistance to environmental damage.
[0017] A waterproof barrier, located inside the outer sheath, is used to prevent moisture from penetrating the interior of the optical cable.
[0018] Furthermore, the outer sheath layer has anti-slip textures or raised structures on its surface to increase the friction between the optical cable body and the laying surface.
[0019] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the optical cable body is flat, which makes it easy to lay in narrow spaces and reduces space occupation.
[0020] Furthermore, the optical cable itself is also equipped with a length marking strip, which makes it easy for construction personnel to quickly cut the optical cable to the required length according to actual needs.
[0021] A novel hybrid optical-electric cable has been designed. Because the fiber optic channel and power line channel are isolated within the cable body, electromagnetic interference generated during power line transmission can be effectively avoided from affecting the fiber optic signal, ensuring data transmission quality and stability. The addition of a reinforcing core significantly improves the mechanical strength and tensile strength of the cable body, enabling it to withstand greater external forces without easily being damaged. This makes it suitable for installation and use in complex environments. The design employs a protective layer combined with a buffer layer, providing a dual protection mechanism for internal components.

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0028] This utility model relates to a novel optoelectronic hybrid cable, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the optical cable body 1 includes:
[0029] The optical cable body 1 is equipped with at least one optical fiber channel 11 and at least one power line channel 12. The optical fiber channel 11 and the power line channel 12 are isolated from each other within the optical cable body 1 to avoid signal interference.
[0030] Fiber optic channel 11 is used to accommodate fiber optic unit 2 for transmitting optical signals;
[0031] Power line channel 12 is used to accommodate electrical conductor unit 3 for transmitting electrical energy;
[0032] The reinforcing core 4 is located inside the optical cable body 1. The reinforcing core 4 is made of high-strength steel wire or glass fiber reinforced plastic. The reinforcing core 4 extends along the length of the optical cable body 1 and is used to improve the mechanical strength and tensile strength of the optical cable body 1.
[0033] Protective layer 5 is the outermost layer of the optical cable body 1, protecting the internal optical fiber unit 2 and electrical conductor unit 3 from damage;
[0034] The buffer layer 6, filled within the protective layer 5, separates the optical fiber unit 2 and the electrical conductor unit 3.
[0035] Because the fiber optic channel 11 and the power line channel 12 are isolated from each other within the optical cable body, the electromagnetic interference generated during power line transmission can be effectively avoided from affecting the fiber optic signal, ensuring the quality and stability of data transmission. The addition of the reinforcing core 4 greatly improves the mechanical strength and tensile strength of the optical cable body 1, enabling the optical cable to withstand greater external forces without being easily damaged, making it suitable for installation and use in complex environments. The design of the protective layer 5 combined with the buffer layer 6 provides a dual protection mechanism for the internal components. The protective layer prevents external physical damage, while the buffer layer reduces friction and pressure between internal components, extending the service life of the optical cable. The hybrid optical-electric cable integrates the functions of optical fiber communication and power transmission, and is suitable for various scenarios that require simultaneous high-speed data connection and power supply. Through reasonable design and material selection, this hybrid optical-electric cable improves the reliability and practicality of the product while ensuring high efficiency, bringing significant technical and economic benefits to users.
[0036] As a preferred option, such as Figure 1 Figure 3 As shown, it includes optical fiber unit 2 and electrical conductor unit 3 arranged spirally along the length of the optical cable;
[0037] This spiral arrangement not only enhances the physical properties of the optical cable, such as mechanical strength and flexibility, but also improves its electrical and optical performance, reduces the risk of electromagnetic interference, and ensures high-quality data transmission. For applications requiring frequent bending or installation in complex environments, this design provides additional safety while maintaining good transmission performance.
[0038] As a preferred option, such as Figure 2 As shown, the buffer layer 6 is made of elastic material and is used to absorb external impact forces.
[0039] When an external impact force is applied to the optical cable, the elastic material in the buffer layer 6 will quickly deform to absorb energy and rapidly return to its original shape after the impact disappears. This mechanism effectively converts most of the impact energy into the deformation energy of the material, rather than directly transferring it to the internal optical fiber unit 2 and electrical conductor unit 3, thereby avoiding the possibility of damage to the internal components. In addition, since the buffer layer 6 is filled within the protective layer 5, it also serves to isolate the optical fiber unit 2 and the electrical conductor unit 3, reducing the physical contact and friction between the two, and further reducing the risk of signal interference.
[0040] As a preferred option, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the conductor unit 3 is made of multiple strands of fine copper wire 31 twisted together, which makes the conductor unit 3 have better flexibility and tensile strength. The conductor unit 3 is covered with a separate insulating sheath 32, and the insulating sheath 32 is provided with a shielding layer to block the influence of external electromagnetic fields on the internal circuit, and also reduce the electromagnetic waves emitted by the conductor unit 3.
[0041] By employing a design that incorporates multiple strands of fine copper wire 31 twisted together, an independent insulating sheath 32 wrapped around the wire, and an internal shielding layer, the electrical conductor unit 3 provided in this embodiment not only achieves higher mechanical strength and flexibility but also greatly improves electromagnetic compatibility, making it ideal for applications requiring stable power supply and high-quality data transmission.
[0042] As a preferred option, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the protective layer 5 includes:
[0043] The outer sheath layer 51 is made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, such as high-strength polyvinyl chloride, low-smoke halogen-free flame-retardant polyolefin or thermoplastic polyurethane, to improve the durability and environmental damage resistance of the optical cable body 1.
[0044] Waterproof barrier 52, located inside the outer sheath layer 51, is made of high-density polyethylene or aluminum foil composite material and is used to prevent moisture from penetrating into the optical cable body 1.
[0045] By combining the carefully designed outer sheath layer 51 with the waterproof barrier 52, the optical-electric hybrid cable of this invention obtains a dual protection mechanism, which greatly enhances its adaptability and reliability in various complex environments. Whether facing harsh weather conditions, chemical corrosion or potential fire threats, the optical cable performs excellently, providing users with continuous and stable power transmission and data communication services. Due to the enhanced durability and protection performance, the failure rate and maintenance needs are reduced, thereby reducing the total cost of ownership and improving system availability and user satisfaction.
[0046] As a preferred option, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the outer sheath layer 51 has an anti-slip texture or raised structure on its surface to increase the friction between the optical cable body 1 and the laying surface.
[0047] Anti-slip textures or raised structures can significantly increase the coefficient of friction between the optical cable and the contact surface, preventing the optical cable from slipping due to gravity, thereby improving the reliability of installation. For manual cabling operations, it increases the feel and control during operation, reduces the risk of the optical cable slipping from the hand, and improves work efficiency. Whether in dry or humid environments, this design can provide stable friction, especially in outdoor environments, where it can maintain good grip even in rainy or snowy weather.
[0048] As a preferred option, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the optical cable body 1 is flat, which makes it easy to lay in narrow spaces and reduces space occupation;
[0049] Flat fiber optic cables are easier to lay on walls, ceilings, or other narrow areas, requiring no additional space to accommodate the diameter of round fiber optic cables, simplifying the installation process and reducing construction difficulty.
[0050] As a preferred option, such as Figure 1 As shown, the optical cable body 1 is also equipped with a length marking strip 7, which makes it easy for construction personnel to quickly cut the optical cable to the required length according to actual needs.
[0051] Construction workers can accurately determine the length of the optical cable without carrying additional measuring tools, which greatly shortens the preparation time. Especially when it is necessary to frequently cut optical cables of different lengths, it significantly improves the overall construction speed. Precise length marking helps to avoid cutting too long or too short, reducing unnecessary optical cable waste and lowering project costs.
[0052] The present invention relates to a novel optoelectronic hybrid cable, the installation method, connection method, or setting method of which are all common mechanical methods. Any method that can achieve its beneficial effects can be implemented.
[0053] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
