Chinese control cable industry

The Chinese control cable industry is undergoing a systematic restructuring from 'passive transmission' to 'intelligent perception' under the empowerment of 5G. The industry takes high-purity oxygen free copper conductor, silver plated copper foil shielding layer and low dielectric insulating material as the core, breaks through the bottleneck of high-frequency signal attenuation and electromagnetic interference, supports 10Gbps level data transmission and ≤ 10ms end-to-end delay, and meets the stringent requirements of 5G base stations, industrial Internet and smart grid. Leading enterprises such as Far East Cable built an integrated intelligent factory of '5G+Industrial Internet', and realized the interconnection of equipment in the whole plant, AGV intelligent scheduling and real-time quality traceability through the 5G private network, which improved the production efficiency by more than 30%; Zhongtian Technology deploys 5G fully connected factories to achieve millisecond level device collaboration and fault self diagnosis. The optoelectronic composite cable technology realizes the same cable transmission of 'power+communication', improving construction efficiency by 30%, and has been applied in the construction of ultra-high voltage transmission and data centers. The market size of communication cables is expected to reach 120 billion yuan by 2025, with a 30% annual increase in 5G base stations continuing to drive demand for special control cables. The industry is promoting the standard system with reference to the Action Plan for the Integration and Empowerment of Industrial Internet and Artificial Intelligence, participating in the formulation of one international standard and six national standards, and the localization rate has exceeded 75%. The current challenge lies in the localization of low loss optical fiber integration, in-situ sensing cable and AI edge computing module for ultra-high speed transmission.
