[0002] As a core component of power transmission and signal transmission, copper cables are widely used in power systems, communication networks, industrial equipment, and household appliances. However, traditional copper cables often lack flame retardant properties in high-temperature or fire environments, which can easily cause fire spread and result in severe property loss and safety hazards.
[0003] Currently, common copper cables on the market mostly use polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as insulation and sheath material. Although PVC has certain flame retardant properties, it can decompose and release toxic gases under high-temperature or open flame conditions, not only exacerbating fire risks but also causing harm to the environment and human health. In addition, PVC has poor heat resistance and weather resistance, and is prone to aging and cracking when exposed to high temperatures, humidity, or ultraviolet light for a long time, further reducing the service life and safety of the cable. To improve the flame retardant properties of the cable, existing technologies usually add flame retardants or use flame-retardant materials (such as halogen-free polyolefins). However, single material improvement often cannot balance the heat resistance, weather resistance, and mechanical strength of the cable, resulting in insufficient comprehensive performance of the cable in complex environments. Therefore, the utility model provides a copper cable with good flame-retardant effect. SUMMARY
