Abstract

An optical electrical hybrid cable for transmitting an optical signal and an electrical signal simultaneously is provided. The optical electrical hybrid cable includes a fiber-optic cable disposed in the center of the optical electrical hybrid cable, and including a plurality of tubes each of which comprises a plurality of optical fibers operatively mounted in an inner space thereof, and a first binder disposed around the plurality of tubes, a plurality of power cables disposed around the fiber-optic cable, each of the power cables comprising a plurality of conducting wires, and a second binder disposed around the plurality of power cables.

Claims (49)

1. An optical electrical hybrid cable for transmitting an optical signal and an electrical signal simultaneously, the optical electrical hybrid cable comprising:

a fiber-optic cable disposed in the center of the optical electrical hybrid cable, and including a plurality of tubes each of which comprises a plurality of optical fibers operatively mounted in an inner space thereof, and a first binder disposed around the plurality of tubes;

a plurality of power cables disposed around the fiber-optic cable, each of the power cables comprising a plurality of conducting wires;

a second binder disposed around the plurality of power cables; and

a mini duct comprising an inner space in which the fiber-optic cable is operatively mounted,

wherein the mini duct is disposed substantially in the center of the optical electrical hybrid cable.

2. The optical electrical hybrid cable of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of power cables include at least two types of power cables, and

wherein each of the at least two types of power cables comprise built-in conducting wires that are different in diameter from the built-in conducting wires of the other types of power cables.

3. The optical electrical hybrid cable of claim 1 , further comprising a coating disposed around the second binder and disposed in the outermost of the optical electrical hybrid cable.

4. The optical electrical hybrid cable of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of interposed cores each of which is disposed between at least one of the plurality of power cables and the second binder so that the optical electrical hybrid cable may maintain an original shape thereof.

5. The optical electrical hybrid cable of claim 3 , further comprising an electromagnetic shielding member disposed between the plurality of power cables and the coating, for electromagnetic shielding.

6. The optical electrical hybrid cable of claim 5 , further comprising a ground member disposed between the plurality of power cables and the coating, so as to be in contact with the electromagnetic shielding member.

7. The optical electrical hybrid cable of claim 1 , wherein the power cable comprises:

the at least one conducting wire; and

a nonconductive coating disposed around the conducting wire.

8. A method of manufacturing an optical electrical hybrid cable for transmitting an optical signal and an electrical signal simultaneously, the method comprising:

forming a fiber-optic cable that comprises a plurality of tubes, each of which comprises a plurality of optical fibers operatively mounted in an inner space thereof, and a first binder disposed around the plurality of tubes;

positioning a plurality of power cables so as to be disposed around the fiber-optic cable, each of the power cables comprising a plurality of conducting wires;

forming a second binder around the plurality of power cables; and

forming a mini duct substantially in the center of the optical hybrid cable,

wherein the mini duct comprises an inner space in which the fiber-optic cable is operatively mounted.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

positioning a plurality of interposed cores such that each of the plurality of interposed cores is disposed between at least one of the plurality of power cables and the coating.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the power cable comprises:

the at least one conducting wire; and

a nonconductive coating disposed around the conducting wire.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of power cables include at least two types of power cables, and

wherein each of the at least two types of power cables comprise built-in conducting wires that are different in diameter from the built-in conducting wires of the other types of power cables.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

forming a coating around the second binder at the outermost of the optical electrical hybrid cable.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

forming an electromagnetic shielding member disposed between the plurality of power cables and the coating.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

forming a ground member disposed between the plurality of power cables and the coating such that the ground member is in contact with the electromagnetic shielding member.

15. An optical electrical hybrid cable for transmitting an optical signal and an electrical signal simultaneously, the optical electrical hybrid cable comprising:

a fiber-optic cable disposed in the center of the optical electrical hybrid cable, and including a plurality of tubes each of which comprises a plurality of optical fibers operatively mounted in an inner space thereof, and a first binder disposed around the plurality of tubes;

a plurality of power cables disposed around the fiber-optic cable, each of the power cables comprising a plurality of conducting wires;

a second binder disposed around the plurality of power cables;

a coating disposed around the second binder and disposed in the outermost of the optical electrical hybrid cable;

an electromagnetic shielding member disposed between the plurality of power cables and the coating, for electromagnetic shielding; and

a ground member disposed between the plurality of power cables and the coating, so as to be in contact with the electromagnetic shielding member.

16. The optical electrical hybrid cable of claim 15 , wherein the power cable comprises:

the at least one conducting wire; and

a nonconductive coating disposed around the conducting wire.

17. The optical electrical hybrid cable of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of power cables include at least two types of power cables, and

wherein each of the at least two types of power cables comprise built-in conducting wires that are different in diameter from the built-in conducting wires of the other types of power cables.

18. The optical electrical hybrid cable of claim 15 , further comprising a mini duct which comprises an inner space in which the fiber-optic cable is operatively mounted,

wherein the mini duct is disposed substantially in the center of the optical electrical hybrid cable.

19. The optical electrical hybrid cable of claim 15 , further comprising a plurality of interposed cores each of which is disposed between at least one of the plurality of power cables and the second binder so that the optical electrical hybrid cable may maintain an original shape thereof.
