Abstract

A traceable cable assembly comprises: a fiber optic cable including a cable jacket that encloses an optical fiber, and two conductive elements that are embedded spacedly in the cable jacket and that extend along the optical fiber; and multiple lighting units spacedly secured to the fiber optic cable. Each lighting unit includes a connecting seat provided with a light emitting element, and mounted to the fiber optic cable so that the light emitting element is connected electrically between the conductive elements through the connecting seat. A portable power device is detachably coupled to the connecting seat of one lighting unit for supplying a supply voltage to the light emitting element of each lighting unit through the conductive elements.
