The invention belongs to the technical field of cables, and relates to a
lightning protected cable for a communication
base station. The
lightning protected cable for the communication
base station comprises a cable core, an inner jacket, an armor layer, an outer jacket, a
ground layer, a connecting rib, a suspension wire and a suspension wire protective layer, and is characterized in that the cable core is coated with a first protective layer which is coated with the inner jacket in an
extrusion molding manner, the inner jacket is coated with a second protective layer, and the
ground layer is arranged outside the second protective layer and coated with the armor layer which is coated with the outer jacket in an
extrusion molding manner; the armor layer adopts a steel strip coated with a film on single surface, and the surface, contacted with the
ground layer, of the armor layer is not coated with the film; the first protective layer and the second protective layer adopt
mica tapes; the outer jacket is prepared from raw materials in parts by weight as follows: 71 parts of
polyethylene, 1 part of the
antioxidant 1010, 12 parts of aluminum
hydroxide, 0.5 parts of the HK type
antistatic agent, 3 parts of
ethyl acetate, 1 part of
carbon black, 10 parts of zirconia and 1.5 parts of
polyethylene wax. The
lightning protected cable has the main benefits as follows: the manufacture is simple and convenient, the production speed is high, the electrical resistivity of the ground layer is lower, the maintenance cost is lower, less dust is absorbed, and the
voltage withstand performance and the
flame retarding performance are better.
