Abstract
A hybrid electrical/optical data/power cabling system includes a pair of cable connectors and an elongated cable base extending between the cable connectors. A first hybrid electrical/optical data/power wire extends through the elongated cable base and is connected to each of the cable connectors. A first power transmission layer in the first hybrid electrical/optical data/power wire is configured to transmit power between the cable connectors, and a first optical data signal transmission layer included in the first hybrid electrical/optical data/power wire is configured to transmit optical data signals between the cable connectors. In some examples, the first power transmission layer may include a tubular cylindrical power transmission layer, and the first optical data signal transmission layer may include a tubular optical data signal transmission layer that is positioned within the tubular cylindrical power transmission layer.
