Abstract
An optical-electrical hybrid transmission cable (100), comprises an insulative layer (2); a shielding layer located on an inner side of the insulative layer; an optical cable (5) disposed in the shielding layer and comprising two optical fibers (51) and an insulative sheath (52) enclosing the two optical fibers; a pair of signal wires (6) twisted together and disposed in the shielding layer; and a pair of power wires disposed in the shielding layer. And the optical cable, the pair of signal wires and the pair of power wires are arranged along a circumferential direction.
Claims15
An optical-electrical hybrid transmission cable, comprising:
- an insulative layer;
- a shielding layer located on an inner side of the insulative layer;
- an optical cable disposed in the shielding layer and comprising two optical fibers and an insulative sheath enclosing the two optical fibers;
- a pair of signal wires twisted together and disposed in the shielding layer;
- a pair of power wires disposed in the shielding layer;
- and
- filled material disposed in the shielding layer;
- wherein the optical cable, the pair of signal wires and the pair of power wires are arranged along a circumferential direction;
- wherein the shielding layer comprises a metallic braided layer disposed on an inner side of the insulative layer and a metallic mylar layer disposed on an inner side of the metallic braided layer;
- wherein the filled material is formed by strand Kevlar fibers and surrounded by the optical cable, the pair of signal wires and the pair of power wires.
A hybrid cable comprising:
- an inner segment, a middle segment and an outer segment sequentially coaxially arranged with one another in an axial direction wherein said inner segment and said outer segment cooperate with each other to radially sandwich the middle segment therebetween;
- the outer segment being of an insulative layer;
- the middle segment being of at least one metallic layer;
- and
- the inner segment including an optical cable, a plurality of signal wires and a plurality of power wires intimately sidewardly contact one another perpendicular to said axial direction to commonly and cooperatively define an essentially closed type boundary to surround filled material therein.
