摘要： Composite cables operative to transmit information in electrical and/or optical transmission modes. The cables can include an electrical coaxial conductor comprising a generally central electrical conductor in a dielectric matrix. At least one optical transmission component is integrated with the matrix. The matrix can include at least two optical transmission components disposed on generally opposed sides of the central electrical conductor. Any optical transmission component can be substantially mechanically de-coupled from the matrix. In addition, the matrix can include at least one ripcord, and an indicia can be formed on the matrix for locating the position of an optical transmission component. The composite cables can include structural features for imparting a preferential bend to the cable.

摘要： Composite cables operative to transmit information in optical transmission and/or electrical power modes. The composite cables include an optical fiber operative to transmit light comprising a silica-based core with a silica-based cladding having a lower index of refraction than the core, the core and cladding are surrounded by two layers of plastic that define a soft primary coating surrounding and in contact with the cladding, and a relatively rigid secondary coating that surrounds and is in contact with the primary coating. The optical fiber has an outside diameter of about 250 &mgr;m to about 500 &mgr;m or more, and an electrical conductor surrounds the secondary coating. The composite cable includes an outermost cable jacket layer having an outside diameter of about 3,500 &mgr;m or less.
