Abstract: A hybrid cable including: a jacket portion; a duct portion configured to be located inside the jacket portion; and an electrical conductor configured to be located inside the jacket portion. The electrical conductor is configured to be located outside of the duct portion; the electrical conductor and the duct portion extend substantially parallel to each other in the jacket portion; the duct portion is configured to be installed in the jacket portion in an empty state of the duct portion in which no wire or cable is in the duct portion; and the duct portion is configured to be loaded with fiber optic cable before, during, and after the hybrid cable is installed at an installation site so as to allow an installer to install an installation required number of fiber optic cables in the duct portion, thereby avoiding installation of unneeded fiber optic cable.
