Abstract
A method and apparatus for assembling an optical fiber communication cable is disclosed herein. The cable has a tubular core formed from a strip of composite material. The composite material has a first layer of high strength metal or metal alloy, a plurality of electrical conductors formed by a material having a conductivity in excess of 50% IACS, and an electrical insulating material separating the first layer and the electrical conductors. At least one optical fiber is located within the tubular core.
