Hybrid fiber optic cable carries data and power
When you want to isolate communications between two devices or locations, a fiber optic link is one of the best ways to go. Under some circumstances, however, you might also want to isolate the transmission of power – in situations where traditional copper wire might prove unsafe or impractical, for instance. That’s why researchers at Sandia National Laboratories are developing a power-over-fiber (PoF) communications cable. It carries not only data, but also optical power...

Developing Power-Over-Fiber Communications Cable: When Total Isolation Is a Good Thing
Sometimes total electrical isolation is a good thing -- and that's the idea behind a power-over-fiber (PoF) communications cable being developed by engineers at Sandia National Laboratories.
