Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a signal transmission line, specifically an environmentally friendly high-frequency signal transmission line. Background Technology
[0002] High-frequency signal transmission lines (also known as Mini Serial Attached SCSI cables) are cables used for data transmission, primarily for connecting storage devices such as hard disk drives, RAID arrays, and host bus adapters (HBAs). Existing high-frequency signal transmission lines offer high transmission speeds and simple structures. Their non-metallic components are typically made of materials such as fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer (FEP, Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene Copolymer, Polytetrafluoroethylene Propylene) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). However, PFAS materials (PFAS stands for Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, meaning perfluorinated compounds, such as PTFE) are less environmentally friendly and do not meet environmental protection requirements. Simply replacing the material does not achieve the desired product performance. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problem that existing high-frequency signal transmission line products in the background art cannot simultaneously meet environmental protection and performance requirements, this utility model provides an environmentally friendly high-frequency signal transmission line.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: an environmentally friendly high-frequency signal transmission line, including a conductor, and further comprising:

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the conductor is integrally formed using silver-plated copper, and the drain line is integrally formed using tin-plated copper.

[0021] Appendix Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present utility model.
[0022] In the diagram, 1 is the conductor; 2 is the insulating layer; 3 is the foaming layer; 31 is the first gap; 4 is the middle jacket layer; 41 is the second gap; 42 is the groove; 5 is the double-sided copper foil layer; 6 is the shielding layer; 7 is the sheath layer; and 8 is the drain line. Detailed Implementation
[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0024] Depend onFigure 1 As shown, an environmentally friendly high-frequency signal transmission line includes a conductor 1, and further includes:
[0025] Insulating layer 2, wherein there are at least two conductors 1, and each conductor 1 is covered with insulating layer 2;
[0026] The foam layer 3 encloses the different insulating layers 2 and makes the outer surfaces of adjacent insulating layers 2 abut against each other; a first gap 31 is formed between the different insulating layers 2 and the foam layer 3, and the first gap 31 is arranged along the axial direction of the conductor 1;
[0027] The middle layer 4 is provided to cover the foam layer 3;
[0028] Double-sided copper foil layer 5 is located on the outside of the middle layer 4;
[0029] The shielding layer 6 is wrapped around the outside of the double-sided copper foil layer 5 and is used to isolate external signal interference.
[0030] The sheath layer 7 covers the shielding layer 6. The beneficial effects of this invention are that the foaming layer and the first gap improve the dielectric constant, enhance the product's anti-attenuation performance, and significantly improve the overall performance and reliability of the cable. This invention also has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, and long service life. At a frequency of 16 GHz, this product exhibits attenuation of at least 5.2 dB. The cable maintains good linearity across a frequency range up to 30 GHz. These properties were measured using a 3-meter test cable. This high-frequency signal transmission line is environmentally friendly, has a wide range of applications, is lightweight, has strong bending resistance, strong signal transmission capability, and good flame retardant properties.
[0031] A drainage line 8 is provided between the intermediate layer 4 and the double-sided copper foil layer 5. The intermediate layer 4, the double-sided copper foil layer 5, and the drainage line 8 cooperate to form a second gap 41. Specifically, the first and second gaps are hollow, which provides transmission performance, improves the dielectric constant, and enhances anti-attenuation performance. The drainage line provides electrostatic protection and electromagnetic interference shielding for the wire.
[0032] The outer surface of the inner layer 4 is recessed to form a groove 42, and the drainage line 8 is disposed inside the groove 42. Specifically, there are two drainage lines 8, and the lines connecting the centers of the different drainage lines 8 to the centers of the different conductors 1 are on the same straight line. This structure limits the drainage lines and prevents displacement. The structure is simple and the limiting is reliable. The groove is usually semi-circular or arc-shaped.
[0033] The conductor 1 is integrally formed from silver-plated copper, and the drain line 8 is integrally formed from tin-plated copper. Silver-plated copper conductors have high oxidation resistance, good conductivity, and strong weldability.
[0034] The foam layer 3 has two layers and is made of PP material (Polypropylene). Two parallel insulated conductors are coated with two layers of hot-melt PP foam film and then extruded. This effectively protects the insulation layer, enhances mechanical strength, and provides multiple functions such as heat insulation, corrosion resistance, aging prevention, shielding, and insulation, significantly improving the overall performance and reliability of the cable.
[0035] The aforementioned conductor 1 consists of two strands, and the insulating layer 2 covers each conductor 1. The insulating layer 2 is integrally molded using LLDPE material (linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is a molecular structure formed by copolymerizing ethylene with a small amount of α-olefins on the main chain of linear ethylene, with very short comonomer branches). Specifically, the inner sheath 4 is integrally molded using LLDPE material. The insulating layer uses LLDPE material, which has high crystallinity, high strength, toughness, and rigidity, providing good insulation performance and aging resistance, laying the foundation for the stability of signal transmission. This utility model uses environmentally friendly and low-cost materials, does not use PFAS materials, is more environmentally friendly, and is a practitioner of the concept of green cables. This utility model has a small wire diameter, small size, and light weight, and can be used in a wide range of scenarios.
[0036] The double-sided copper foil layer 5 is wrapped with at least one layer of aluminum foil to form the shielding layer 6. The double-sided copper foil layer makes the wrapping flexible without increasing product rigidity, provides high tensile strength, and the excellent conductivity of copper effectively prevents internal signals from being emitted. Furthermore, it can withstand high operating temperatures, ensuring the stability of the wire in high-temperature environments. The aluminum foil shielding layer, with an overlap rate of 25%, effectively isolates external signal interference. This invention exhibits strong bending resistance; the impedance change of the wire when folded after being wrapped around an iron rod with a diameter equal to one wire is less than 3.5 ohms.
[0037] The shielding layer 6 is wrapped with flame-retardant Mylar to form the sheath layer 7. This flame-retardant Mylar material has certain water-resistant and flame-retardant effects; adding this wrapping tape can prevent moisture from damaging the wire insulation in humid environments. This product has good flame-retardant properties and meets VW-1 requirements.
