The invention relates to an improvement for a fire-resistant cable. The invention is characterized in that: an outer
refractory insulating layer of a conductor is high temperature extruded siliceous compounds with a thickness of 0.05 to 1.0
millimeter, and an outer protective layer is a
refractory fiber braid ply. Compared with the prior fire-resistant cable, the fire-resistant cable can be produced with long length; the production process is simple; the outside
diameter of the cable is small; the occupied space of laying is small; the twisting property is moderate;
recovery and separation of waste cables are easy, and
recovery materials can be recycled and are
pollution-free;
refractory insulating
raw material resources are numerous and the cost of the refractory insulating
raw material resources is low, thereby the cost of fire-proof insulation of the cable can be reduced and is respectively reduced by 70 percent, 40 percent and 50 percent compared with mineral insulation,
mica insulation and
silicon rubber insulation; the waterproof, oil proof and radioresistant performances are superior to the prior fire-resistant cable; the refractoriness and the thermotolerant level are high; the fire-resistant cable can be operated under the environment of 1000 DEG C over a long period of time; the
bend radius is 20 times or so of the cable
diameter. At least one intermediate layer of the
silicon refractory insulating layer is made of
silicon dioxide, and an inner layer and an outer layer on both sides are made of silicon compounds different from the
silicon dioxide or
silicon dioxide with different crystalline structures, thereby light signals can be also transmitted and then the fire-resistant cable simultaneously has the function of photocommunication.
