A cable system having a coaxial cable and a plurality of twisted wire pairs and optical fibers has the capacity to carry a broad range of telephonic, video and demodulated data signal information in addition to optical signals. The cable is suitable for long distance telephonic, video and optical signals as well as transmitting signals directly into the home or office of an end user. In addition, the cable is suitable for use in local all-optical networks and for long distance and broad network all-optical cable systems of the future.
