LC UPC Hybrid Electro-Optical Fiber Cable Patch Cord Power Optical Composite Cable Patch Cord

A hybrid electro-optical fiber cable is a composite cable that integrates optical fiber and conductive copper wire into the same cable, and has the dual functions of optical signal transmission and power/electrical signal transmission.

Note : Structure drawing just for reference, please check the following details.

Basic Structure

* Fiber Component: Typically uses single-mode or multimode optical fiber for high-speed optical signal transmission (e.g., data transmission and communications).

* Conductive Component: Integrated copper wire or power cable transmits power (e.g., power supply) or electrical signals (e.g., control signals).

* Outer Jacket: Protects the fiber core and conductors, providing mechanical strength and environmental protection (e.g., flame retardancy and abrasion resistance).

Features

* Two-in-one Design: A single cable addresses both power and communication needs, reducing wiring complexity.

* High Bandwidth and Low Loss: The fiber optic component supports high-speed data transmission (e.g., 10G/40G/100G) and is resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI).

* Flexible Power Supply: The copper cable can provide DC power (PoE-like) to remote devices (e.g., cameras, micro base stations, and optical network units (ONUs).

* Space Saving: Saves installation space compared to laying separate optical and electrical cables, making it particularly suitable for densely packed cabling scenarios.

Application

* 5G and Wireless Communications: Provides simultaneous data and power to devices such as active antenna units (AAUs) and small base stations.

* Data Centers: Simplify power and signal transmission when connecting servers or switches (e.g., using optical/electrical hybrid cables to replace DACs).

* Security Systems: Provide a single-connection solution for devices such as IP cameras and sensors.

* Industrial Automation: Transmit control signals and power for industrial equipment in factory environments, avoiding electromagnetic interference.

* FTTH (Fiber to the Home): Provides data and power to ONU devices, reducing home wiring.
