Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application relates to an optical fiber communication technology, and more specifically, to a signal transmission cable that can be mass-produced to reduce manufacturing costs and prevent heat dissipation liquid from seeping in and affecting signal transmission. [Previous Technology]

[0002] With the rapid development of network technology, fiber optic communication technology has gradually replaced conventional electrical communication technology for transmitting signals due to its numerous advantages, such as high data transmission speed, long transmission distance, resistance to electromagnetic interference, and high security. Therefore, fiber optic communication technology has become a major modern communication technology, widely used for information communication between various fiber optic network devices.

[0003] In the fiber optic communication industry, fiber optic network equipment is often paired with signal transmission cables. Generally, signal transmission cables have photoelectric converters, which consist of photoelectric conversion modules and photoelectric converter optical cables. The photoelectric conversion module can convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa. The photoelectric converter optical cable connects the photoelectric conversion module and the fiber optic network equipment, transmitting optical signals between them. However, the length of the photoelectric converter optical cable depends on the distance between the photoelectric conversion module and the fiber optic network equipment; that is, the length of the photoelectric converter optical cable depends on the transmission distance of the optical signal. The distance between the photoelectric conversion module and the fiber optic network equipment can change due to different usage scenarios or methods, resulting in the need for customized length of the photoelectric converter optical cable. This prevents the mass production of photoelectric converters and hinders effective cost reduction.

[0004] In addition, since fiber optic network equipment usually operates continuously for a long time, the operating temperature of the fiber optic network equipment is prone to rise and heat dissipation is required. For heat dissipation of fiber optic network equipment, the fiber optic network equipment is usually immersed in a heat dissipation liquid with high thermal conductivity, so that the fiber optic network equipment operates in a liquid heat dissipation environment. In this way, the heat generated by the operation of the fiber optic network equipment can be quickly dissipated by the heat dissipation liquid, thereby improving the performance and lifespan of the fiber optic network equipment.

[0005] However, if the fiber optic network equipment is immersed in the heat dissipation liquid, the signal transmission cable connecting the fiber optic network equipment also needs to be immersed in the heat dissipation liquid. Therefore, if the signal transmission cable has poor waterproof performance, the heat dissipation liquid can easily seep into the signal transmission cable and affect the signal transmission.

[0006] In view of this, how to improve existing signal transmission cables, how to customize the extension length of optical fiber cables for photoelectric converters, and how to improve the waterproofness of signal transmission cables to prevent heat dissipation liquid from seeping into the signal transmission cables are problems that urgently need to be solved by those in the relevant technical field.

[0040] For the description of the embodiments disclosed in this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 12.

[0041] In the embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 12, at least one signal transmission line 1 is provided. The signal transmission line 1 can be plugged into an optical fiber network device 2 to transmit signals. The signal transmission line 1 includes: a main-side photoelectric converter 11, an extension optical cable 12, and a main-side optical cable connector 13.

[0042] It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, the fiber optic network device 2 can be immersed in a highly thermally conductive heat dissipation liquid L, allowing the fiber optic network device 2 to operate in a liquid cooling environment. The heat generated during the operation of the fiber optic network device 2 is rapidly dissipated by the heat dissipation liquid L, thereby improving the performance and lifespan of the fiber optic network device 2. Correspondingly, the signal transmission cable 1 can be immersed in the highly thermally conductive heat dissipation liquid L along with the fiber optic network device 2.

[0043] Regarding the main-side photoelectric converter 11, the main-side photoelectric converter 11 has a main-side photoelectric conversion module 111 and a main-side photoelectric converter optical cable 112.

That is, the length of the extension optical cable 12 can be adjusted according to the transmission distance of the main-side optical signal, so that the length of the main-side photoelectric converter optical cable 112 does not need to be changed according to different application fields or methods. Therefore, the main-side photoelectric converter 11 can be mass-produced to reduce manufacturing costs.

Therefore, if the signal transmission cable 1 is immersed in the heat dissipation liquid L along with the fiber optic network equipment, the adhesive 133 of the main-side optical cable connector can prevent the heat dissipation liquid L from seeping into the signal transmission cable 1 through the joint between the main-side extension optical cable joint end E1211 and the main-side photoelectric converter optical cable joint end E1121, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the signal transmission cable 1.

The main-side optical cable connector adhesive 133 adhesively bonds the main-side photoelectric converter optical fiber 1122 and the extension optical fiber 122 to maintain their relative positional relationship, preventing them from separating. This ensures that the connection relationship between the main-side extension optical cable connector E1211 and the main-side photoelectric converter optical cable connector E1121 meets expectations.

[0053] In the embodiment shown in FIG5, there is a first main-side photoelectric converter optical cable gap G1121 between the main-side photoelectric converter optical cable cladding 1123 and the main-side photoelectric converter optical cable fiber 1122, and there is a first extension optical cable gap G121 between the extension optical cable cladding 123 and the extension optical cable fiber 122.

[0054] It should be noted that, in the embodiment shown in FIG11, if the main optical cable connector 13 leaves the heat dissipation liquid L, the first main optical cable connector sub-adhesive barrier layer 1331 can prevent the heat dissipation liquid L from flowing between the first main optical converter optical cable gap G1121 and the first extension optical cable gap G121 through capillary action, and then seeping out through the main optical cable connector 13 to pollute the environment.

[0055] In addition, the primary-side photoelectric converter optical cable 112 also has a primary-side photoelectric converter optical cable buffer layer 1124 (coating or primary buffer), wherein the primary-side photoelectric converter optical cable buffer layer 1124 may be made of plastic materials such as acrylic or polymer.
