Abstract
A hybrid cable may include a central strength member and a plurality of buffer tubes helically wrapped around the central member. Each of the plurality of buffer tubes may house at least one optical fiber, and an outer jacket may surround the plurality of buffer tubes and the central strength member. Additionally, the central strength member may include one or more carbon nanotubes capable of transmitting a power signal.
