## Abstract

The invention provides an ultra-flexible indoor accompanying photoelectric composite cable, and the cable comprises a plurality of power transmission components, optical fiber transmission components and structural strengthening components, which are covered by a highly flame-retardant outer protective layer. The power transmission component comprises a cable core which is a soft conductor and an insulating material layer wrapped around the cable core. The optical fiber transmission component is a tight tube optical fiber, and the power transmission components and the optical fiber transmission components are arranged in parallel inside the highly flame-retardant outer protective layer. The composite cable of the invention has very strong pressure resistance, stress resistance, and reciprocating resistance, good electrical and physical properties and more excellent environment resistant performance. Furthermore, the composite cable can simplify construction procedures, improve working efficiency and reduce construction cost.
