According to the NEC®, what type of cable contains both optical fibers and current-carrying electrical conductors?

The correct type of cable that contains both optical fibers and current-carrying electrical conductors is known as Hybrid cable. This type of cable is specifically designed to combine the capabilities of fiber optics for data transmission with traditional copper conductors for power or other electrical signaling. Hybrid cables are commonly used in applications where both types of connections are required, allowing for efficient communication and power delivery in a single cable assembly.

The term "Composite" may sometimes be used in industry discussions, but it is not the term specifically recognized by the NEC® (National Electrical Code) for cables combining these features. Understanding the terminology is crucial for professionals working with fiber optics and electrical systems, ensuring proper installation and meeting regulatory standards.
