Hybrid Fiber Optic & Power Cable

A hybrid fiber optic cable combines optical fibers and insulated electrical conductors in one compact construction so data transmission and electrical power or control can share a single cable route.

The reference Opticlumos configuration uses G652D optical fiber, fluoroplastic insulation and sheath materials, and aramid braiding for high-temperature, high-tensile B2B equipment and instrumentation projects.

Product Features

Optical and electrical integrationCombines fiber channels and insulated conductors to reduce routing complexity and installation space.
High-temperature constructionFluoroplastic insulation and sheath materials support demanding continuous and short-term temperature requirements.
Mechanical reinforcementAramid braiding provides a reference long-term/short-term tensile rating of 2,000/3,000 N.
Project-specific engineeringFiber count, conductor configuration, voltage/current, dimensions, termination and environmental performance can be customized.
