An electric conductor incorporates at least one optical fibre and has a central axial element with at least one layer of elements helically stranded about it. At least one of the elements, preferably the central axial one, includes at least one optical fibre which is enclosed in a longitudinally extending welded metal tube (typically stainless steel). A second metal tube of greater thickness and higher conductivity than the welded metal tube and having an unwelded longitudinal seam surrounds the welded tube. The second tube is typically of aluminium and served to increase the diameter of the element so that a greater range of useful conductor sizes can be formed by using it in conjunction with appropriately chosen wire diameters.

L'invention concerne des conducteurs électriques renfermant des fibres optiques, et possédant un élément axial central pourvu d'au moins une couche d'éléments toronnés sous forme hélicoïdale autour dudit axe. Au moins l'un des éléments, de préférence l'élément axial central, comprend au moins une fibre optique enfermée dans un tube métallique (généralement en acier inoxydable) soudé s'étendant longitudinalement. Un second tube métallique plus épais et à conductivité plus élevée que le tube métallique soudé, et possédant un cordon longitudinal non soudé entoure le tube soudé. Le second tube est généralement en aluminium, et sert à augmenter le diamètre de l'élément, de sorte qu'il est possible de former une plage de tailles de conducteurs utiles plus grande en utilisant ledit tube avec des diamètres de fil choisis de manière appropriée.
