  • Patent number: 11756703
    Abstract: A magnetic data cable includes a cable body and data connectors. The data connectors are respectively connected to two ends of the cable body. The cable body includes a cable core and a wrapping material layer wrapped around the cable core. At least one layer of the wrapping material layer is a magnetic material layer. When the magnetic data cable is wound into coils, each two adjacent coils arranged from top to bottom or each two adjacent coils arranged from left to right are magnetically attracted to each other by the magnetic material layer. Since the magnetic material layer is integrally distributed in the wrapping material layer, so the cable body 100 is magnetic and it is easy and simple to adjust a diameter of the coils by winding.
