Study Of Automotive Single-line Harness Using Fiber Cable As Media Transferring Singnal And Power

Now, the automotive electronic develops very fast, people's requirement of automotive function is getting more deliberate and more complete. Therefore, the electronic control system gets more and more complex, and the harness gets more and more complicated as well. At the same time the design, produce and repair of harness on the automotive gets more and more hard. These days, the automotive electronics even develop aiming at in-vehicle network. It makes the automotive harness even more complicated. It also makes the energy-consumption, cost and inter-interruption becomes a series of new problems. So we need make some research on the automotive harness, advocate it and make it much better.Following with the fiber's successful use in the electronic communication domain, with today's application technique of fiber getting more and more advanced, and with the component of fiber communication getting more and more little and facility to use, many people begin to think how to use fiber in the automotive harness. Many researchers have done such research, and got some success. However, in their research they just use the fiber cable as signal or date transferring media, for power they still use the traditional metal cables.Papers start from the present status of using fiber cable in automotive harness, design a new type structure's fiber cable, its connectors and interface. Aiming on using these materials completely replace the traditional metal cables to build the automotive harness, as called Automotive Single-line Harness. In the papers, first introduced the related knowledge including: fiber communication, common structure of fiber cable; then, using a experiment verified the materials in the paper designed; following, discussed some critical technique problems to build the Automotive Single-line Harness; at last papers made a beautiful glance of the Automotive Single-line Harness' outlook in future's practical using.The paper presents the concept of Automotive Single-line Harness. It is a great idea on automotive harness research. In the paper, author just does some basic research, but it is very meaningful, because using fiber cable completely replaces traditional metal cable. It gives automotive harness a new domain to research or a new direction to develop.
