Abstract
Cables that include a conductor and an optical fiber. In some embodiments, the cable can include an optical fiber loosely disposed within an enclosure. A conductor layer can be disposed about the enclosure. An insulation layer can be disposed about the at least one conductor layer. An inner layer of armor strength members can be helically disposed about the insulation layer. An outer layer of armor strength members can be helically disposed about the inner layer of armor strength members. The armor strength members in the outer layer of armor strength members can be at an opposite helix compared to the armor strength members in the inner layer of armor strength members. An outer jacket can be disposed about the outer layer. In other embodiments, the cable can include an optical fiber in a coupled electro-optical package, where the conductor layer can be disposed about the electro-optical package.
