Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coaxial cable accessory design, specifically to a fireproof insulating head for coaxial cables. Background Technology
[0002] Coaxial cables are widely used in signal transmission and communication. In the event of a fire, the fire can spread along the cable, damaging precision connection equipment and interrupting signals. Traditional fire protection measures are insufficient to meet the unique structural characteristics of coaxial cables. Therefore, a fire-resistant insulating head specifically designed for their structural features is needed to ensure fire protection without compromising cable performance. The increasing application scenarios in recent years have also placed higher demands on the moisture resistance and corrosion resistance of fire-resistant insulating heads. Promoting the safe application of coaxial cables in a wider range of fields urgently requires the development of new design and manufacturing technologies to meet these needs. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a fire-resistant insulating head for coaxial cables to address the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content

Preferably, an insulating layer is installed between the cable and the flame-retardant colloid inner layer, and a single-sided aluminum foil is installed between the flame-retardant colloid inner layer and the expanded graphite middle layer; Preferably, double-sided aluminum foil is installed between the expanded graphite middle layer and the ceramicized silicone rubber outer layer.
[0005] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. The ceramicized silicone rubber outer layer can quickly form a hard ceramic layer at high temperatures, effectively blocking the intrusion of flames and heat; 2. The expanded graphite middle layer expands when exposed to fire, filling the gaps and preventing the spread of smoke and heat; 3. The flame-retardant inner layer further enhances fire resistance while ensuring good adhesion to the cable. Attached Figure Description
