<p>A combined power and fiber optic cable can be terminated and connected to a second such cable. The male plug, in addition to its two male blades and hollow ground pin, carries a fiber optic conductor spring mounted to the plug. The receptacle has the normal female contact and ground pin contact to receive the blades and ground pin, respectively. The receptacle further carries a fiber optic conductor. When the male plug (12) and receptacle are joined, the electrical circuit between electrical conductors joined to the plug (12) and receptacle are closed. In addition, the end faces of the fiber optic conductors (50) within the plug and receptacle are joined. The spring (52) allows the fiber optic conductor of the plug to stay in intimate contact with the fiber optic conductor of the receptacle.</p> |
