Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable technology, specifically to a high-speed transmission cable. Background Technology

[0002] High-speed transmission cabling is a crucial medium or carrier for signal transmission between high-speed backplanes. A high-speed backplane is a core interconnecting circuit board within large electronic devices (especially communication equipment such as core routers, high-end switches, large servers, telecom base station controllers, and testing instruments). High-speed transmission cabling is used to transmit high-speed electrical or optical signals between two physically separate devices or between modules over long distances within a device. Existing high-speed transmission cabling typically consists of conductors and insulation. The insulation is usually made of solid polypropylene in a single molding process, which increases the dielectric constant of the insulation, leading to unstable signal transmission. Ordinary solid materials are insufficient to meet this transmission performance requirements. Another option is to use perfluoroethylene-propylene copolymer, which does not meet PFAS standards (PFAS definition: compounds containing at least one perfluoromethyl or methylene carbon atom). Due to its persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity, it is considered to require stricter control. Its slow degradation rate results in poor environmental performance, and polypropylene materials have poor flame retardancy, generally failing to meet UL level flammability tests (UL certification refers to the industry standard for product safety certification in the United States, established by US safety testing laboratories; UL standards protect people from electric shock, fire, and bodily injury). Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problem of weak transmission performance in existing high-speed transmission cabling in the background art, this utility model provides a high-speed transmission cabling.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a high-speed transmission cable, including a sheath layer, and further comprising:

[0005] The braided layer is disposed within the sheath layer;

[0006] The first wire harness is disposed within the braided layer; the first wire harness includes a first conductor, an insulating layer and a first aluminum foil layer, the insulating layer is sleeved outside the first conductor, the first aluminum foil layer is disposed outside the insulating layer, and the insulating layer includes a foamed polypropylene layer.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the insulating layer includes a solid polypropylene layer, which has two layers, and the foamed polypropylene layer is disposed between the two solid polypropylene layers.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the thickness of the insulating layer is 0.13-0.17 mm, and the thickness of the foamed polypropylene layer is 0.03-0.06 mm.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the second wire harness has multiple strands, and a second Mylar layer is provided between the third aluminum foil layer and the braided layer.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes a ground wire. Each first wire bundle is arranged in a flat shape. There are two ground wires and they are located at both ends of the flat first wire bundle. The ground wires are located on the outside of the first aluminum foil layer.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0022] Depend on Figure 1 Combination Figure 2-3 As shown, a high-speed transmission cable includes a sheath layer 1, and further includes:

[0023] Braided layer 2, wherein the braided layer 2 is disposed within the sheath layer 1;

[0024] The first wire harness 3 is disposed within the braided layer 2. The first wire harness 3 includes a first conductor 31, an insulation layer 32, and a first aluminum foil layer 33. The insulation layer 32 is sleeved outside the first conductor 31, and the first aluminum foil layer 33 is disposed outside the insulation layer 32. The insulation layer 32 includes a foamed polypropylene layer 321. The beneficial effects of this invention are that the foamed polypropylene layer improves transmission performance, effectively reducing the dielectric constant of the insulation compared to traditional solid polypropylene, thus laying the foundation for stable signal transmission; and it is more environmentally friendly than perfluoroethylene-propylene copolymer. This invention also has advantages such as simple structure, high safety, and long service life. Specifically, the first conductor of this invention is integrally molded from silver-plated copper material, and the alloy conductor has high tensile strength and good conductivity. The braided layer of this invention can effectively impede external signal interference, enhance the mechanical strength of the cable, prevent internal breakage, maintain the overall internal shape, and the sheath layer provides excellent protection.

[0025] The insulation layer 32 includes two layers of solid polypropylene 322, with a foamed polypropylene layer 321 disposed between the two solid polypropylene layers 322. Specifically, the thickness of the insulation layer 32 is 0.13-0.17 mm, and the thickness of the foamed polypropylene layer 321 is 0.03-0.06 mm. This invention improves transmission performance through foaming. Since increased foaming leads to greater changes in bending impedance, conventional processes struggle to simultaneously meet both bending impedance and transmission performance requirements. This invention employs an FSF sheath structure for the core wire extrusion, consisting of a solid polypropylene layer + a foamed polypropylene layer + a solid polypropylene layer. This structure effectively prevents the drawback of foamed wires being less pressure-resistant. This invention offers the following advantages: small wire diameter, small size, light weight, easy to carry and use; good transmission performance; strong bending resistance; and good flame retardant performance, meeting FT2 requirements (FT2 flame retardant standard is an indicator of a material's flame retardancy, based on the degree of flame spread and the degree of protection for sensitive objects).

[0026] This invention also includes a second aluminum foil layer 34, which is disposed outside the first aluminum foil layer 33. Specifically, the first aluminum foil layer 33 is wrapped around the insulation layer 32 along the axial direction of the first wire harness 3, and the second aluminum foil layer 34 is wound around the first aluminum foil layer 33 circumferentially. A layer of PP aluminum foil (first aluminum foil layer) is dragged around the core wire inside the whole. This wrapping tape is soft and does not increase the product's hardness, has high tensile strength, and low dielectric constant, which can effectively prevent the external transmission of internal signals. A layer of aluminum foil (second aluminum foil layer) is uniformly wrapped around the dragging aluminum foil tape to form a shielding layer with an overlap rate of 25%, which plays a good role in impeding external signal interference. Specifically, the first aluminum foil layer is arranged longitudinally (along the axial direction of the first conductor), and the second aluminum foil layer is arranged laterally (wound circumferentially along the first conductor).

[0027] This invention also includes a first Mylar layer 35, which covers the second aluminum foil layer 34. The Mylar layer is integrally molded from PET polyester film, a material with a certain water-resistant effect. Adding this wrapping can prevent moisture from damaging the insulation of the wire in a humid household environment.

[0028] The first wire harness 3 consists of two wires arranged side-by-side. A third aluminum foil layer 4 is sheathed around the first wire harness 3. A second wire harness 5 is disposed between the third aluminum foil layer 4 and the braided layer 2. Specifically, there are multiple second wire harnesses 5, and a second Mylar layer 6 is disposed between the third aluminum foil layer 4 and the braided layer 2. The multiple second wire harnesses 5 are arranged in a ring between the third aluminum foil layer 4 and the second Mylar layer 6. This increases the overall roundness of the wire. More specifically, the structure of the second wire harness and the first wire harness of this invention is the same or similar, and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] This utility model also includes a middle sheath layer 36. The first wire harness 3 includes two first conductors 31, each of which is provided with an insulation layer 32. The middle sheath layer 36 covers the insulation layer 32 of the two first conductors 31. It also includes ground wires 37. Each first wire harness 3 is flat, and there are two ground wires 37 located at both ends of the flat first wire harness 3. The ground wires 37 are located outside the first aluminum foil layer 33. The middle sheath layer 36 is integrally molded from LLDPE. The middle sheath layer is integrally molded from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), which has good elongation, puncture resistance, and tear resistance. The ground wires are made of tin-plated copper, an alloy conductor with high tensile strength and good oxidation resistance.
