[0032] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , the fire barrier insulation layer 33 and the fire barrier layer 4 are both composed of non-combustible ceramicized fire-resistant mica tape, and are respectively wrapped on the surface of the outer insulation layer 32 and the filler 9.
[0033] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , the fire-retardant insulation layer 33 and the fire-retardant layer 4 are both single-layered, and the non-combustible ceramic fireproof mica tape has a thickness of 0.2 mm. The wrapping overlap rates of the fire-retardant insulation layer 33 and the fire-retardant layer 4 are not less than 30% and not less than 50%, respectively.
[0034] In the present embodiment: the inner insulation layer 31 is selected from any one of high electrical performance polyvinyl chloride insulation, high electrical performance polyethylene insulation, and cross-linked polyethylene insulation.

In the area with complex electromagnetic environment, such as near the transformer substation, communication base station and the like, laying the control cable body 1 with such shielding layer 5 can avoid the signal from being interfered to cause malfunction or transmission error, and improve the reliability and stability of the control system; the armored layer 7 is made of galvanized steel wire or galvanized steel belt, which provides strong mechanical protection for the control cable body 1. The galvanizing treatment can prevent the steel wire or steel belt from rusting, and prolong the service life of the armored layer 7. During the laying process of the control cable body 1, the armored layer 7 can resist external mechanical external force such as extrusion and collision, and protect the insulation protective layer 3, the conductor 2 and other structures inside the control cable body 1 from being damaged. At the same time, in some environments that need to prevent rat biting and insect boring, the armored layer 7 can also play an important role to ensure the integrity and normal operation of the control cable body 1, and improve the reliability of the control cable body 1 under harsh use conditions; the filler 9 is made of glass fiber rope or high-temperature-resistant halogen-free low-smoke filling rope, which has good high-temperature resistance and low-smoke halogen-free characteristics. In the event of a fire, it will not produce a large amount of smoke and toxic gas, reducing harm to personnel and pollution to the environment. The glass fiber rope or high-temperature-resistant halogen-free low-smoke filling rope is filled in the gap between the cable core, which can stabilize the structure of the control cable body 1, reduce the shaking and friction of the core inside the control cable body 1, prevent the insulation protective layer 3 from being damaged due to core friction, and improve the overall stability and durability of the control cable body 1. It is especially suitable for places with high requirements for environmental protection and safety.
