Abstract
A hybrid cable may include at least one optical fiber disposed within a buffer layer, and two conductors concentrically formed around the buffer layer. An inner conductor having a first direct current resistance may be formed around the buffer layer. An outer conductor may then be coaxially arranged around the inner conductor, and the outer conductor may have a second direct current resistance equal to or less than the first direct current resistance. A dielectric layer may be posited between the inner and outer conductors, and a jacket may be formed around the outer conductor.
Claims8
A cable comprising:
- a buffer layer;
- at least one optical fiber disposed within the buffer layer;
- an inner conductor formed around the buffer layer and having a first direct current resistance, the inner conductor comprising a first solid tube of conductive material having a cross-sectional area of at least 0.258 square millimeters;
- an outer conductor coaxially arranged around the inner conductor, the outer conductor comprising a second solid tube of conductive material and having a second direct current resistance equal to or less than the first direct current resistance;
- a dielectric layer positioned between the inner conductor and the outer conductor;
- and
- a jacket formed around the outer conductor.
