Hybrid cable for tight spaces and low installation costs

15 August 2001 Interconnection

In order to reduce process cycle times, Suhner Fiberoptic now produces hybrid cables in-house. These products are especially suited to tight spaces and for minimising installation costs. The hybrid cables incorporate both fibre-optic cables and power conductors in a common jacket.

The fibre-optic cables transmit high data volumes, while the copper cables simultaneously carry the energy for power supply. Hybrid cables can be equipped with commercial connectors or, if the environmental requirements are particularly high, with field-enabled connectors.

For power supply, it is possible to use DC, single-phase and three-phase AC. For this reason, hybrid cables are well-suited - for example - to applications in the areas of security and monitoring technology. Another field of application includes control engineering and power supply in environments with high electromagnetic exposure. Examples of successfully implemented installations include monitoring cameras in tunnels, control systems for high-current switches, data communication in steel mills and the control of sewer inspection equipment.

Hybrid cables containing copper elements for data communication (twisted pair,high-frequency cables, etc) continue to be manufactured.
