Flat Ethernet Cable for Outdoor Wireless Signal Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network sharing systems face challenges with poor signal quality when wireless transceivers are installed indoors and require costly and aesthetically damaging construction when installed outdoors, such as drilling or breaking through walls for wiring.
Innovation Solution
A network sharing system comprising an outdoor wireless transceiver device, an indoor network sharing device, and a high-speed Ethernet transmission cable with a flat cable segment that allows direct passage through doors or windows, eliminating the need for extra construction and maintaining the esthetic appearance, while supporting transmission rates above 1 Gbps for efficient signal transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the wireless network transceiver is installed outdoor, then the signal quality is improved, but extra construction (breaking door or window, drilling wall) is needed resulting in increased costs and aesthetic damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a flat Ethernet cable with a thin profile that can be slipped through door or window gaps without breaking or drilling. This flexible, thin-cable approach allows outdoor installation for better signal quality while avoiding construction work and aesthetic damage to the building structure.
2Reliability
If the wireless network transceiver is installed outdoor, then the signal quality is improved, but costs increase due to extra construction
Solution Approach 1:
The flat Ethernet cable's thin, flexible design eliminates the need for construction materials like drill bits, wall patches, or window modifications. The cable can be installed by simply slipping it through existing gaps, reducing material costs while maintaining outdoor installation benefits for signal quality.
3Reliability
If the wireless network transceiver is installed outdoor, then the signal quality is improved, but the esthetic appearance of indoor decorations is damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The flat Ethernet cable's slender, unobtrusive profile allows it to pass through door or window gaps without visible damage to the building's aesthetic appearance. This maintains the visual integrity of indoor decorations while enabling outdoor transceiver installation for improved signal quality.
4Ease of operation
If a traditional Ethernet cable is used for outdoor installation, then the cable may not pass through door or window gaps, but using a flat cable segment allows direct passage
Solution Approach 1:
The flat Ethernet cable segment replaces the traditional round cable with a thin, flexible flat profile that can easily bend and pass through narrow door or window gaps. This shape transformation simplifies installation operations while maintaining electrical performance for high-speed data transmission.
5Ease of operation
If the cable needs to pass through door or window, then drilling or breaking is required, but the flat cable allows direct passage without construction
Solution Approach 1:
The flat Ethernet cable's thin, flexible design enables it to be slipped through existing gaps in doors or windows without requiring drilling, breaking, or any construction that would damage the structure. This eliminates harmful factors while maintaining installation effectiveness.
