Abstract
A cable may include a central strength member, a plurality of optical fiber buffer tubes positioned around the central strength member, and a jacket surround the plurality of buffer tubes and the central strength member. The central strength member may include a plurality of longitudinally extending and twisted conductive components. Each conductive component may include an inner conductor, a dielectric strength member formed around the inner conductor and having a tensile strength of at least 10,000 MPa, and an outer conductor formed around the dielectric strength member. The inner and outer conductor may form a balanced pair of conductors.
