Cable assemblies typically include a collection of fiber optic and/or copper cables (and may also include power cables), with connectors attached at one or both ends. Fiber optic cable assemblies, copper cable assemblies, and hybrid assemblies are used to interconnect different types of equipment and instruments. Assemblies can include fan-outs, breakouts, patch cords, cordage, cable extenders and more. They are often used in industrial, telecom, medical, and aerospace applications for data, audio/video or power applications.
