Disclosed is a method for manufacturing an instrument cable. The method includes that (1) a
copper conductor which accords with the relevant standards and regulations of the instrument cable is utilized, and an expanded
polyethylene insulating material is extruded and wrapped on the
copper conductor to form insulated wire cores by a
skin-foam-
skin three-layer co-
extrusion technology; (2) each two insulated wire cores prepared in the step (1) are subjected to pair twist to form pair twist wire groups, the pair twist wire groups are provided with various pitches, pitches of the same pair twist wire group are equal, pair twist wire groups with different pitches are selected to form the cable, and a tape is wrapped on the outer surface of a cable core. A
copper wire is woven on the wrapped tape, or a
copper tape shielding layer is wrapped on the wrapped tape, and a low
smoke halogen-free
flame retardant environment-friendly outer sheath is extruded and wrapped on the shielding layer. The method for manufacturing the instrument cable has the advantages that the method is advanced and scientific, low
capacitance,
low transmission attenuation and low insulation medium loss of the cable are achieved by means of designing of the conductor
skin-foam-skin insulating wire core and the like, the
signal transmission is stable, the
shielding effect is good, and performance requirements of the cable used in modern instruments are met.
