Abstract
A hybrid cable is implemented by a concentric arrangement of a central optical fiber encased by a sleeve of Kevlar and an outer jacket of FEP(Teflon) insulation and surrounded by an annular (hollow) electrical conductor consisting of two rows of 16 insulated strands each of 33 AWG. A second conductor made of braided copper strands concentrically surrounds the first conductor but is separated therefrom by a layer of FEP insulation. Another layer of insulation surrounds the second conductor.
