Abstract
A coaxial fiber optic cable which includes a core having a transmission medium that includes at least one optical fiber surrounded by one or more strengthening materials and enclosed by a core jacket. A first electrical conductor i.e., a copper braid surrounds the core jacket and is coaxial with the core jacket. A second electrical conductor, i.e., copper braid, is coaxial to the first conductor. The first and second copper braids are triaxial with the core jacket and are separated by a dielectric which extends between and in parallel relation to the length of the braids. An overall aramid reinforcement layer(s) is in the core and surrounds the optical fiber(s). An outer cable jacket surrounds the second electrical conductor and encloses the cable.
