Optical/electrical hybrid cable and optical communications system

Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide an optical/electrical hybrid cable and an optical communications system, and relate to the field of optical communications technologies. The optical/electrical hybrid cable includes a linear conductor, an optical fiber, and an outer sheath. The outer sheath tightly wraps exteriors of the conductor and the optical fiber, and the conductor and the optical fiber are arranged side by side. According to the optical/electrical hybrid cable and the optical communications system provided in the embodiments of this application, on the premise that an optical fiber cable and a power cable that are separated can be formed, a structure is simple, a manufacturing process is simplified, and an area of a cross section of the optical/electrical hybrid cable is reduced.
