Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A hybrid cable includes a first transmission portion such as a metallic conductor portion and a second transmission portion such as an optical fiber portion. The metallic conductor portion includes a core which includes twisted pairs of metallic conductors enclosed in a plastic core wrap, a shielding system and a plastic jacket. A longitudinally extending duct is disposed in engagement with an outer surface of the plastic jacket of the metallic conductor portion. An outer plastic jacket is disposed about the duct and the metallic conductor portion. An opticalfiber cable or optical fibers may be caused to become disposed initially in the duct or when the use of fibers becomes economically justified.
