Electro-optical cable for use in transmission of high voltage and optical signals under extremes of temperature

摘要

An electro-optical cable ( 38 ) which includes an optical element ( 48 ) having an elongated glass fiber core ( 50 ), a medial cushioning layer ( 54 ) concentrically surrounding the glass fiber core, and an outer hard shell ( 56 ) material surrounding the medial cushioning layer. The cable also includes at least one electrically conductive element ( 40 ) comprising an elongated conductive core ( 42 ) and a dielectric layer ( 44 ) concentrically surrounding the electrically conductive element.
