Abstract
Composite communications cable are provided that include a central conductor, a dielectric spacer that substantially surrounds the central conductor, an outer conductor that substantially surrounds the dielectric spacer, a jacket that surrounds the outer conductor and a non-buffered optical fiber positioned between the central conductor and the dielectric spacer. An outer surface of the non-buffered optical fiber is within 50 microns of the outer surface of the central conductor. The positioning of the optical fiber adjacent an outer surface of the central conductor may protect the optical fiber from damage.
