[0026] In some embodiments, the connector 100 includes a crystal head 110, a plurality of pins 120, a network cable lead 130, and a power supply lead 140.
[0027] The crystal head 110 is adapted to an external interface. In some embodiments, the crystal head 110 is connected to the external interface in a variety of ways, such as at least one of plug-in, snap-in, etc.
[0028] In some embodiments, the crystal head 110 contains a PCB board 150.
[0029] The PCB board 150 has an integrated circuit for powering on and / or transmitting electrical signals.
[0030] In some embodiments, the PCB board 150 is provided with a control chip connected to an integrated circuit.
[0031] The control chip can be used to process data and implement control functions. In some embodiments, the control chip can be electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 400 to control the light-emitting structure 400. For example, it can change at least one of the following: light emission intensity, duration, emission frequency, circuit on / off state, etc.
[0032] In some embodiments, the control chip is electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 400 via a portion of the circuitry on the PCB board 150. In some embodiments, the control chip stores a preset program, and the control chip controls the light-emitting structure 400 based on the preset program.
[0033] By setting up a PCB board and control chip, the light-emitting structure can be automatically controlled, thus making it more convenient for users and improving the user experience.
[0034] Pin 120 refers to a wire used for communication and / or electrical connection with an external interface. In some embodiments, pin 120 is located on one side of the crystal head 110 in a variety of ways, such as soldering, soft soldering, etc.
[0035] In some embodiments, multiple pins 120 are respectively connected to integrated circuits on PCB board 150.
[0036] In some embodiments, the plurality of pins 120 each have different functions, such as transmitting data, transmitting electrical energy, etc.
[0037] A network cable lead 130 is connected between a portion of pin 120 and network cable 300 to transmit electrical signals received at pin 120 to network cable 300.

[0040] In some embodiments, a transformer module 152 is provided on the PCB board 150, and the light-emitting structure 400 and / or network cable 300 are electrically connected to the transformer module 152.
[0041] The transformer module 152 can be used to change the voltage of the electrical energy introduced through the pins 120 so that the voltage meets the requirements of the light-emitting structure 400 and / or the network cable 300. For example, after multiple pins 120 are connected to an external interface to introduce electrical energy, the introduced electrical energy is changed by the transformer module 152 before being transmitted to the light-emitting structure 400 or the network cable 300, thereby meeting the voltage requirements of the light-emitting structure 400 or the network cable 300.
[0042] As an example only, the voltage of the electrical energy introduced by the multiple pins 120 is 5V, and the voltage required by the network cable 300 is 3V. The transformer module 152 can reduce the voltage of the introduced electrical energy from 5V to 3V before transmitting it to the network cable 300, so as to avoid the network cable 300 being damaged due to the voltage received exceeding the requirements.
[0043] In some embodiments, the transformer module 152 can shunt the electrical energy introduced from multiple pins 120, so that part of the shunt electrical energy is transmitted to the network cable 300, enabling the network cable 300 to transmit electrical signals.

The user can interact with the control chip through the Bluetooth chip 151, thereby controlling the light-emitting structure 400 using the control chip.
[0048] As an example only, after the user terminal connects to the Bluetooth chip 151 via Bluetooth, the user can use software or a small program within the software as an input to input the desired function into the control chip. For example, the user can change at least one of the following: the light-emitting structure 400's light intensity, duration, light emission frequency, or circuit on / off state. The control chip can then control the light-emitting structure 400 to perform the corresponding function.
[0049] By using a Bluetooth chip, users can remotely control the light-emitting structure to meet practical needs and improve the user experience.
[0050] The interior of the sleeve 200 is used to install the network cable 300 and the light-emitting structure 400.
[0051] In some embodiments, one end of the sleeve 200 is connected to the connecting portion 100. In some embodiments, the end of the sleeve 200 is connected to the connecting portion 100 by a variety of methods, such as at least one of bonding, snap-fitting, or integral molding. In some embodiments, there are two connecting portions 100, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the sleeve 200.
[0052] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the outer surface of the sleeve 200 includes a variety of shapes, such as at least one of a circle, a rectangle, etc. In some embodiments, the cross-section of the inner surface of the sleeve 200 is adapted to the shape of the cross-section of the outer surface.
[0053] In some embodiments, the sleeve 200 may be made of a flexible, semi-transparent material, such as at least one of silicone, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
[0054] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the inner surface of the sleeve 200 includes a rough surface. By utilizing the rough surface to create a frosted effect, when light emitted by the light-emitting structure 400 passes through the rough surface, the light can be refracted at multiple angles, facilitating more uniform outward illumination.
[0055] The network cable 300 is used to transmit electrical signals. In some embodiments, the network cable 300 may include at least one of twisted pair, coaxial cable, etc. In some embodiments, the network cable 300 is communicatively connected to the network cable lead 130.
[0056] In some embodiments, the network cable 300 is disposed inside the sleeve 200. In some embodiments, the network cable 300 and the inner surface of the sleeve 200 can form a clearance fit, thereby facilitating the insertion of the network cable 300 into the sleeve 200.
[0057] In some embodiments, the network cable 300 may also be made of fiber optic cable.
[0058] At least a portion of the light-emitting structure 400 is capable of emitting light when energized. For example, the light-emitting structure 400 forms a circuit when connected to a portion of the pins 120 via the power supply lead 140, thereby emitting light when energized. In some embodiments, the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed within the sleeve 200. In some embodiments, the light-emitting structure 400 is electrically connected to the power supply lead 140.
[0059] In some embodiments, the light emitted by the light-emitting structure 400 can pass through the sleeve 200 and shine outward to create a lighting effect.
[0060] In some embodiments, the control chip can change the light emission mode of the light-emitting structure 400. For example, it can change at least one of the following: the color of the light, the frequency of light emission, and the duration of light emission.
[0061] In some embodiments, the light-emitting structure 400 may include at least one of at least one light-emitting strip, multiple LED beads, etc. The multiple LED beads may be connected in series and / or in parallel.
[0062] The luminescent network cable provided in some embodiments of this specification, by setting a light-emitting structure, can emit light to produce an illumination effect, thereby indicating the location of the network cable to the user in dark or low-light environments. Depending on the user's needs, the luminescent network cable can adopt different light-emitting modes to create different illumination and decorative effects, enhancing the user experience. When the luminescent network cable is connected to audio devices that require a network cable, such as PoE ceiling speakers, it not only provides an auditory experience but also enhances the visual experience, thereby improving the user experience.
[0063] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the light-emitting structure shown in some embodiments of this specification.
[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the light-emitting structure 400 includes a light-emitting strip 410 and multiple LED beads 420.
[0065] The light-emitting strip 410 can serve as a mounting base for mounting multiple LED beads 420. In some embodiments, the light-emitting strip 410 includes a light-emitting circuit (not shown in the figure).
[0066] The light-emitting circuit can be electrically connected to the power supply lead 140 via the PCB board 150 to power multiple LEDs 420.
[0067] In some embodiments, the light-emitting strip 410 may be made of a flexible material, such as at least one of polyimide or polyester film. In some embodiments, the light-emitting circuitry may be disposed within the light-emitting strip 410 in a variety of ways, such as at least one of soldering, soft soldering, or bonding.
[0068] The LED beads 420 are used to emit light when powered on. In some embodiments, multiple LED beads 420 are electrically connected to the light-emitting circuit. The electrical connection includes at least one of series and parallel connections. In some embodiments, the control chip can control the power supply to the light-emitting circuit based on a preset program, thereby controlling the light-emitting mode of the multiple LED beads. For example, controlling multiple LED beads 420 to emit light sequentially at the same frequency along the length of the light-emitting strip 410 achieves flowing light emission, which can indicate the direction of electrical signal transmission. Another example is to gradually increase or decrease the light intensity.
[0069] In some embodiments, the LED chip 420 can be connected to the light-emitting strip 410 in a variety of ways, such as at least one of bonding, snap-fitting, or welding.
[0070] In some embodiments, the LED 420 may include at least one of RGB LEDs, RGBW LEDs, etc.
[0071] In some embodiments, the light-emitting structure 400 further includes a light guide strip 430.
[0072] The light guide strip 430 serves as a medium for light propagation, causing the light emitted by the LED bead 420 to undergo multiple reflections and / or refractions within the light guide strip 430. The light is ultimately refracted through one side of the light guide strip 430, guiding the direction of light illumination and ensuring uniform illumination from one side of the light guide strip 430. In some embodiments, the side of the light guide strip 430 that refracts the light faces the sleeve 200. The light refracted from the side of the light guide strip 430 passes through the sleeve 200 and illuminates outwards.
[0073] In some embodiments, the light guide strip 430 may be made of a transparent, soft material, such as at least one of polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), etc.
[0074] In some embodiments, the LED beads 420 are distributed along the length of the light guide strip 430. In some embodiments, multiple LED beads 420 can be distributed at equal intervals, which helps to make the light refracted through the light guide strip 430 more uniform.
[0075] In some embodiments, the light guide strip 430 can be connected to the lamp bead 420 in various ways, such as by bonding, snap-fitting, or at least one of these methods. In some embodiments, the light guide strip 430 has at least one positioning hole on its side facing the lamp bead 420. The lamp bead 420 can snap-fit into the positioning hole, thereby improving the connection strength and positioning accuracy between the light guide strip 430 and the lamp bead 420, and preventing the light guide strip 430 from detaching from the lamp bead 420 and reducing the effectiveness of the light guide strip 430.
[0076] In some embodiments, the light guide strip 430 can be connected to the inner surface of the sleeve 200 in a variety of ways, such as bonding, snap-fitting, etc.
[0077] By using light guide strips, the light emitted from inside the light-emitting mesh can be made more uniform and form a line light source, increasing the number of light emission modes and improving the user experience.
[0078] In some embodiments, the lamp bead 420 includes a reflector and a light emitter.
[0079] A light-emitting body can emit light when an electric current is applied. In some embodiments, the light-emitting body may include at least one of a filament, a light bulb, etc. In some embodiments, the light-emitting body is electrically connected to a light-emitting circuit.
[0080] At least one surface of the reflective portion can be used to emit light. In some embodiments, the reflective portion includes a reflective arc surface, and the light-emitting element is disposed within the reflective arc surface.
[0081] A reflective curved surface can be used to emit light. In some embodiments, the reflective curved surface is a concave curved surface. In some embodiments, the reflective curved surface may include a variety of structures, such as at least one of a hemispherical surface or a cylindrical surface. In some embodiments, the reflective curved surface is provided with a reflective structure, such as at least one of a reflective coating or a reflective paint. The reflective coating may include at least one of an aluminum film or a silver film.
[0082] In some embodiments, the reflective curved surface is configured to reflect at least a portion of the light emitted by the light source to the light guide strip 430.
[0083] By setting a reflective part, at least part of the light can be reflected into the light guide strip, thereby increasing the intensity of the light entering the light guide strip and improving the brightness of the light refracted from the light guide strip.
[0084] In some embodiments, the sleeve 200 is provided with a first groove. In some embodiments, the first groove is provided on the inner surface of the sleeve 200.
[0085] The first groove is used to connect with the light guide strip 430. In some embodiments, the first groove is provided along the length direction of the sleeve 200. In some embodiments, the light guide strip 430 is adapted to the first groove. In some embodiments, the light guide strip 430 and the first groove can be connected in a variety of ways, such as at least one of snap-fitting, bonding, etc.
[0086] In some embodiments, the first groove can be formed in a variety of ways. For example, it can be formed by injection molding.
[0087] In some embodiments, the first groove can serve as a guide groove, guiding the light guide strip 430 to move along its length direction during assembly, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the light guide strip assembly. In some embodiments, the cross-section of the first groove can include various shapes, such as at least one of C-shape, T-shape, or dovetail shape. The cross-section refers to the section formed when the first groove is cut off by a plane perpendicular to its length direction. Designing the cross-section of the first groove as C-shape, T-shape, or dovetail shape allows for a snap-fit connection between the first groove and the light guide strip, improving the connection strength and positional accuracy of the light guide strip, eliminating the need for adhesive bonding, and increasing assembly efficiency.
[0088] By connecting the light guide strip with the first groove, the light guide strip can be positioned and fixed, improving its positional accuracy and stability. The first groove also reduces the wall thickness of the sleeve, weakening its light-blocking effect and thus increasing the brightness of the light emitted from inside the luminous mesh.
[0089] Connecting the light strip to multiple LED beads improves the positioning accuracy and stability of the LED beads, ensures their neat distribution, and makes the overall light emission of the light-emitting mesh more uniform, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.
[0090] Figure 3 This is an internal sectional view of the sleeve shown according to some embodiments of this specification.
[0091] like Figure 3 As shown, the sleeve 200 includes a partition 230. The partition 230 is provided along the length direction of the sleeve 200.
[0092] The partition 230 is used to divide the internal space of the sleeve 200 into two parts. In some embodiments, the partition 230 can divide the sleeve 200 into a first cavity 210 and a second cavity 220. In some embodiments, the network cable 300 can be disposed in the first cavity 210. The light-emitting structure 400 can be disposed in the second cavity 220.
[0093] In some embodiments, the first cavity 210 has an opening 211 on one side.
[0094] The opening 211 can be opened or closed. In some embodiments, the light-emitting structure 400 can be pre-installed in the second cavity 220, for example, pre-assembled by the manufacturer. The network cable 300 can be installed in the first cavity 210 through the opening 211 on site. This facilitates the cutting of the sleeve 200 and the network cable 300 according to the required network cable length after measuring it according to the installation needs on site, to ensure that the lengths of the sleeve 200 and the network cable 300 are appropriate.
[0095] In some embodiments, the light-emitting circuit within the light-emitting structure 400 is a parallel circuit, with multiple LEDs connected through the parallel circuit. Cutting the light-emitting structure 400 will not affect the normal operation of the light-emitting circuit.
[0096] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the cross-section of the sleeve 200 is rectangular. A first groove is provided on one side of the second cavity 220. Making the outer surface of the cross-section of the sleeve 200 rectangular facilitates positioning of the sleeve 200 using at least one outer surface of the sleeve 200 during installation, and ensures that the side corresponding to the first groove is always in the same plane, ensuring that light emitted from inside the sleeve 200 is emitted from the same plane, thereby ensuring the lighting effect.
[0097] In some embodiments, at least one inner surface of the second cavity 220 is provided with a second groove (not shown in the figure). At least a portion of the light-emitting structure 400 is connected to the second groove.
[0098] The second groove is used for positioning and installing the light-emitting structure 400.
[0099] In some embodiments, the light guide strip of the light-emitting structure 400 can be connected to the second groove in a variety of ways, such as snap-fitting, bonding, etc.
[0100] In some embodiments, the second groove is similar to the first groove. For more information about the second groove, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 2 Description of the first groove.
[0101] Using the second groove for positioning and installation of the light-emitting structure can improve the positioning accuracy and stability of the light-emitting structure.
[0102] The luminescent mesh cable provided in some embodiments of this specification divides the sleeve into a first cavity and a second cavity by setting a partition. During the production of the luminescent mesh cable, the luminescent structure can be installed into the second cavity. During on-site installation, after measuring the required length of the mesh cable, both the mesh cable and the sleeve can be cut separately. The cut mesh cable is then inserted into the sleeve through the opening of the first cavity, facilitating on-site assembly. Furthermore, different mesh cables can be selected as needed, increasing the applicability of the luminescent mesh cable.
[0103] Figure 4 This is a structural schematic diagram of the corner sleeve according to some embodiments of this specification.
[0104] In some embodiments, the sleeve 200 has a split structure. The sleeve 200 may include multiple sleeve units, which can be interconnected.
[0105] In some embodiments, the sleeve 200 includes a straight sleeve and a corner sleeve 240.
[0106] The linear sleeve runs along a straight line. When the network cable 300 and the light-emitting structure 400 are installed inside the linear sleeve, the length directions of the network cable 300 and the light-emitting structure 400 are aligned with the length direction of the linear sleeve. In some embodiments, the cross-section of the linear sleeve perpendicular to the axial direction is the same as the cross-section of the sleeve 200 perpendicular to the axial direction.
[0107] like Figure 4As shown, the axes of the corner sleeve 240 are at an angle. In some embodiments, the axis of the corner sleeve 240 is 90°. In some embodiments, the axis of the corner sleeve 240 may also be at other angles, such as 120°, 150°, etc., which can be set according to actual needs. In some embodiments, the corners of the outer and / or inner surfaces of the corner sleeve 240 can be transitioned by rounded arcs.
[0108] In some embodiments, a partition 230 may be provided inside the corner sleeve 240. The partition 230 is provided along the axis of the corner sleeve 240, and the corner of the partition 230 is rounded. In some embodiments, the first cavity 210 is located outside the second cavity 220. When installing the light-emitting mesh cable, the first cavity 210 is closer to the wall or ground than the second cavity 220, thereby exposing the second cavity 220 and the light-emitting structure 400 inside the second cavity 220 to the outside, allowing the light emitted by the light-emitting structure 400 to shine outward, which is suitable for installing the light-emitting mesh cable at a concave corner.
[0109] In some embodiments, the two ends of the corner sleeve 240 may include a first end 241 and a second end 242. The light-emitting structures located at the first end 241 and the second end 242 may be separate structures. In some embodiments, the reflective structure in the first end 241 and the light-emitting structure in the second end 242 may be perpendicular to each other. The light-emitting strip 410 in the first end 241 and the light-emitting strip 410 in the second end 242 may be electrically connected in various ways, such as through a light strip connector. The light guide strip 430 in the first end 241 and the light guide strip 430 in the second end 242 may be connected in various ways, such as by at least one of bonding, snap-fitting, etc.
[0110] In some embodiments, when the network cable 300 passes through the first cavity 210 of the corner sleeve 240, it transitions by an arc at the corner of the corner sleeve 240.
[0111] In some embodiments, the second cavity 220 may also be located outside the first cavity 210. When installing the light-emitting mesh cable, the second cavity 220 is closer to the wall or ground than the first cavity 210, thereby exposing the second cavity 220 and the light-emitting structure 400 inside the second cavity 220 to the outside, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting structure 400 can shine outward, which is suitable for installing the light-emitting mesh cable at a protruding corner.
[0112] Using corner sleeves allows the luminous mesh cable to transition smoothly at corners and other locations, preventing direct bending that could damage the internal structure of the cable and ensuring its safe use. The cable can also be smoothly transitioned within the corner sleeve using an arc, further preventing damage. This allows for a modular luminous structure, facilitating connections at corners.
