Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data transmission equipment, specifically an armored fiber optic USB-Type C data cable. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, extending the length of Type-C data cables presents dual technical challenges regarding mechanical reliability and signal integrity. Longer data cables are far more prone to bending than those of normal length, and bending often causes mechanical damage to the cable core, rendering the cable unusable. Furthermore, excessively long data cables frequently experience signal attenuation during transmission, leading to severe signal distortion. These issues limit the length of Type-C data cables, preventing their applicability to a wider range of applications. Utility Model Content
