The optical fiber/metallic conductor composite cable has a cable core with an optical fiber subgroup and an insulated metallic conductor subgroup. The optical fiber subgroup can be a loose tube construction, a slotted core construction, a unitube/monotube construction or a tight buffer tube construction. The individual insulated wires of the insulated metallic conductor subgroup extend longitudinally within the composite cable. Preferably, the optical fiber subgroup is on the outer periphery of the cable core to provide easy accessibility, but it can be centrally located.
