Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical cable technology, specifically a concave armored flame-retardant and rodent-proof miniature optical cable. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the main type of optical cable introduced is the butterfly-shaped optical cable, which is widely used in various residential communities.

[0003] However, in older residential areas, poor sanitation and a large number of rats often lead to fiber optic cables being chewed up, posing a significant challenge to communication security and maintenance.

[0004] In addition, although the cross-section of the butterfly-shaped optical cable is small, the insufficient space reserved for the duct in old residential areas increases the difficulty of the cable pulling operation. Therefore, a concave armored flame-retardant and rodent-proof miniature optical cable is proposed. Utility Model Content
