[0025] This utility model proposes a high-speed cable. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 3 The high-speed cable includes two conductors 1 arranged side by side and extending in parallel; the two conductors 1 are covered with a foamed insulation layer 3 and a non-foamed insulation layer.
[0026] Specifically, the non-foamed insulation layer can be an inner sheath 2 disposed between the foamed insulation layer 3 and the conductor 1, or an outer sheath 4 covering the outside of the foamed insulation layer 3.
[0027] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 A non-foamed insulation layer, serving as the inner sheath 2, covers the two conductors 1, while a foamed insulation layer 3 covers the inner sheath 2. An outer sheath 4 covers the foamed insulation layer 3. The inner sheath 2 tightly covers the outer periphery of the conductors 1. The foamed insulation layer 3 around the two conductors 1 effectively reduces the dielectric constant and optimizes cable transmission performance. It is understood that the foamed insulation layer 3 covers the two conductors 1; the non-foamed insulation layer includes the inner sheath 2 located between the foamed insulation layer 3 and the conductors 1, and the outer sheath 4 covering the foamed insulation layer 3.
[0028] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The foamed insulation layer 3 covers the two conductors 1; the non-foamed insulation layer 4 is used as an outer sheath to cover the foamed insulation layer 3.
[0029] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 3A non-foamed insulation layer, acting as an inner sheath 2, covers the two conductors 1, while a foamed insulation layer 3 covers the inner sheath 2. It is understood that the foamed insulation layer 3 covers the two conductors 1; the non-foamed insulation layer is the inner sheath 2 located between the foamed insulation layer 3 and the conductors 1, covering the outer periphery of the conductors 1. Adding an inner sheath 2 between the foamed insulator 3 and the conductors 1 reduces signal propagation loss in the cable, which is beneficial for increasing the cable's communication bandwidth and enabling high-speed signal transmission.
[0030] Understandably, conductor 1 is selected as a single-strand or stranded wire, which can be made of copper, aluminum, silver, or various alloy wires. Furthermore, conductor 1 may also have a plating layer formed of aluminum, silver, or tin. The foamed insulator 3 can be a single-layer foam or a combination of multiple foams. Preferably, the foaming degree of the foamed insulator 3 is above 50%. The foaming degree of the foamed insulator 3 can also be designed according to actual needs. When the foaming degree is insufficient, the dielectric constant of the foamed insulator 3 is high, affecting the transmission performance of the cable; when the foaming degree is too high, the mechanical strength of the cable will be significantly reduced. Therefore, an appropriate foaming degree can be selected according to actual needs to optimize and reduce dielectric loss while ensuring the mechanical strength of the cable.
[0031] In one embodiment, the foamed insulation layer 3 is a physically foamed layer of polypropylene or polyethylene. It has small bubble diameters, a uniform and moderate degree of foaming, and low dielectric loss. The cross-section of the foamed insulation layer 3 is elliptical or racetrack-shaped.
[0032] Furthermore, a non-foamed or low-foamed coating layer can be extruded onto the outer periphery or inner wall of the foamed insulator 3. The coating layer on the inner wall of the foamed insulator 3 is the inner sheath 2, and the coating layer on the outer periphery of the foamed insulator 3 is the outer sheath 4. The outer sheath 4 is extruded from high-density polyethylene or cross-linked polyethylene onto the outer wall of the foamed insulation layer 3.
[0033] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The high-speed cable consists of two parallel conductors 1 and a three-layer structure integrally covering the outer periphery of the two conductors 1. From the inside out, the high-speed cable comprises conductor 1, inner sheath 2, foamed insulation 3, and outer sheath 4. The inner sheath 2 tightly covers the outer periphery of conductor 1, and the outer surface of the inner sheath 2 is in close contact with the inner wall of the foamed insulation 3. The outer sheath 4 covers the outer periphery of the foamed insulation 3.
[0034] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The high-speed cable is formed by two parallel conductors 1 arranged side by side and a double-layer structure that is integrally wrapped around the outer periphery of the two conductors 1. The high-speed cable consists of conductors 1, foamed insulation 3 and outer sheath 4 arranged from the inside to the outside. The foamed insulation layer 3 tightly wraps around the two conductors 1, and the outer sheath 4 wraps around the outer periphery of the foamed insulation 3.
[0035] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 3The high-speed cable is formed by two parallel conductors 1 and a double-layer structure that is integrally wrapped around the outer periphery of the two conductors 1. The high-speed cable consists of conductor 1, inner sheath 2 and foamed insulation 3 from the inside out. The inner sheath 2 tightly wraps around the outer periphery of the conductor 1, and the outer peripheral surface of the inner sheath 2 is in close contact with the inner wall of the foamed insulation 3.
[0036] Furthermore, the outer sheath 4 is covered with a metal shielding layer, and the metal shielding layer is covered with a protective layer.
[0037] Specifically, high-speed cables can be equipped with an outer layer structure to protect the internal components. Understandably, various structures can be chosen for the outer layer. Preferably, the outer layer consists of a metal shielding layer and a protective layer. The metal shielding layer can be made of materials such as copper foil, aluminum foil, or silver-plated copper foil; preferably, the metal shielding layer is heat-fused self-adhesive. The metal shielding layer covers the outer periphery of the outer sheath 4, effectively suppressing signal interference. Preferably, the metal shielding layer is longitudinally wrapped. Understandably, high-speed cables can have multiple metal shielding layers to improve the shielding effect. The protective layer can be made of Mylar or other flame-retardant materials, covering the outside of the metal shielding layer, providing mechanical protection for the entire cable, improving the cable's temperature resistance and flame retardant performance, and enhancing the overall stability of the cable.
[0038] Understandably, the high-speed cable provided in this application also has a ground wire structure. The ground wire can be single or multiple, and is located between the protective layer and the metal shielding layer, or between the metal shielding layer and the outer sheath. The ground wire is electrically connected to the metal shielding layer to provide grounding protection for the cable.
