Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the length of the optoelectronics transceiver optical cable is customized according to transmission distance, then the signal transmission requirement is met, but the manufacturing cost increases and mass production is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The optical cable is divided into a fixed-length base cable (standardized for mass production) and an adjustable extending cable. The base cable has a standardized length that can be mass-produced, while the extending cable can be adjusted to achieve the required total length, resolving the contradiction between customization and manufacturing efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The cable system transitions from a static fixed length to a dynamic adjustable length through the extending cable mechanism. The extending cable can be lengthened or shortened based on transmission distance requirements, allowing the system to adapt while maintaining a standardized base cable for mass production
2Temperature
If the signal transmission cable is immersed in cooling liquid to dissipate heat, then the operating temperature is controlled, but cooling liquid may infiltrate the cable and affect signal transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The cable employs a waterproof sheath (flexible shell) that encloses the optical fiber and internal components. This sheath prevents cooling liquid from infiltrating the cable while allowing the cable to be immersed in the cooling liquid environment, thus maintaining both temperature control and signal transmission reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The waterproof sheath acts as an intermediary barrier between the cooling liquid environment and the internal optical fiber. It allows thermal conduction for cooling while blocking liquid infiltration, protecting the signal transmission function from the cooling liquid
