[0002] The flame-retardant cable is the cable that the sample is burned under the prescribed test condition, the flame spreads only in the limited range after the test fire source is removed, and the afterflame or afterglow can self-extinguish in the limited time. The basic characteristic is: it is possible to be burned under the fire condition and cannot run, but can prevent the spread of fire. In popular terms, if the electric wire catches fire, it can limit the burning in a local range, does not spread, saves other various equipment, and avoids causing greater loss. But in the flame-retardant cable, a relatively thick fireproof smoke suppression layer or a multilayer flame-retardant smoke suppression conclusion is usually designed, so that the cable is very heavy and the flexibility is reduced.

[0004] However, when the cable is used, it is difficult to prevent the heat spread from the sheath layer to the conductor to affect the normal power transmission of the conductor group only by the oxygen barrier layer, the fireproof material, the insulation layer and the protective layer.
