Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of communication engineering and optical fiber technology, and specifically relates to a fiber optic composite cable end protection structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the engineering application of fiber optic composite cables, the cable termination, as a critical connection point for signal transmission, is highly susceptible to external environmental factors such as mechanical vibration, tensile stress, and moisture corrosion, leading to unstable connections or even communication interruptions. Existing cable termination protection structures mostly employ simple sleeve wrapping or threaded fixing methods, lacking effective clamping and buffering designs. This makes them unsuitable for the universal installation requirements of different cable specifications and prone to loosening and detachment under complex working conditions. Furthermore, traditional structures are inconvenient to disassemble and assemble, hindering rapid on-site maintenance and replacement, thus affecting construction efficiency and system reliability.

[0003] In existing technologies, traditional optical cable end protection structures generally suffer from problems such as simple structure, poor adaptability, and insecure fixation. When used in complex environments, they are prone to loosening, shifting, or even breaking due to vibration, pulling, or moisture, affecting the stability of signal transmission and the safety of equipment operation. In addition, most protective housings use integral or threaded fixing methods, making installation and disassembly cumbersome and hindering rapid on-site maintenance; at the same time, they lack effective buffering and locking designs, making it difficult to adapt to the universal protection needs of different specifications of optical cables.
