Optical Electrical Hybrid Cable

摘要

A hybrid cable for telecommunications systems is disclosed. The hybrid cable may include a plurality of fiber-optic cables and power cables extending within an armor member and an outer jacket in a main body portion of the hybrid cable, and extending outside of the armor member and the outer jacket in a termination portion of the hybrid cable. Shielded tube assemblies may be attached to the power cables in the termination portion to provide electrical shielding to the power cables in the termination portion of the hybrid cable. The shielded tube assemblies may be attached to the armor member to electrically ground the shielded tube assemblies. A method of constructing a hybrid cable is also disclosed.

主权项

1. A hybrid cable, comprising:
a main body portion; a termination portion adjacent to the main body portion at an end of the hybrid cable for connecting the hybrid cable to a device; a conductive armor member extending in the main body portion; an outer jacket disposed around the conductive armor member in the main body portion; one or more pairs of fiber-optic cables configured to transmit RF signals, the one or more pairs of fiber-optic cables extending within the conductive armor member and the outer jacket throughout the main body portion, and extending outside of the conductive armor member and the outer jacket in the termination portion; one or more pairs of power cables configured to transmit power signals, the one or more pairs of power cables extending within the conductive armor member and the outer jacket throughout the main body portion, and extending outside of the conductive armor member and the outer jacket in the termination portion; and one or more shielded tube assemblies in the termination portion, each shielded tube assembly being attached to a respective pair of power cables and configured to electrically shield the respective pair of power cables, and each shielded tube assembly being electrically grounded to the armor member.
