What is a Hybrid Cable?
A Hybrid Cable, also called Optical Fiber Composite Low-voltage Cable (OPLC), is a new-generation solution that integrates both power supply and optical communication within a single cable structure. It combines low-voltage power conductors (0.6/1kV and below) with high-performance fiber optic cores, allowing the simultaneous delivery of electricity and ultra-fast data. This design makes it highly suitable for projects where both terminal power and information transmission are required.
Key Advantages of Hybrid Cable:
Dual Function Integration: Provides both power and data in one cable, reducing the need for separate wiring systems and simplifying project design.
Independent Structural Design: Power conductors and optical fibers are arranged separately, ensuring safety, stability, and easier installation, routing, and maintenance.
Cost & Time Efficiency: Photoelectric integration cuts down on material usage, installation labor, and overall infrastructure investment.
Smart Infrastructure Ready: Widely used in smart grid development, 5G base stations, FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) networks, intelligent buildings, and surveillance systems.
Reliable Performance: Supports stable power supply while ensuring high-speed, long-distance, and interference-free data transmission.
