First-Generation Hybrid Cable
Overview
The first-generation hybrid cable (hybrid cable 1.0) is composed of optical fibers and copper cores. It is mainly used to connect a hybrid optical-electrical switch to an AP or a remote unit so that the switch can supply PoE power and transmit data to the AP or remote unit.
The first-generation hybrid cables must be made onsite using the purchased bare wires, auxiliary material packages that contain RJ45 connectors, and auxiliary material packages used for mechanical or fusion splicing of optical fibers. Table 9-23 lists the bare wires and auxiliary material packages.

Bare wires are delivered by country or region where hybrid cables are used. The difference predominantly lies in the color of copper cores.
The first-generation hybrid cables can only be used indoors and cannot be connected to outdoor APs.
The first-generation hybrid cables cannot be connected through a cable distribution frame.
Copper cores in the first-generation hybrid cable must be directly connected to a switch and an AP.
The connected ports cannot go up if a switch and an AP are connected only through copper cores in the first-generation hybrid cable.
It is recommended that optical fibers in the first-generation hybrid cables be fusion spliced onsite. If you assemble optical fibers in hybrid cables in mechanical splicing mode, only SFP-10G-iLR-S optical modules are supported.

Cable Connection
The first-generation hybrid cable is typically used in the following scenario:
- The copper cores connect a multi-GE port of a switch to a PoE_IN port of an AP to allow the switch to supply power to the AP while no data is transmitted over this cable.
The optical fibers connect an SFP+ port on the switch to an SFP+ port of the AP to transmit data.
Figure 9-57 shows how the first-generation hybrid cable connects a switch to an AP.

2. 10GE/GE SFP+ port on a switch |
3. PoE_IN port on an AP |
4. Uplink 10GE/GE SFP+ port on an AP |
Connectors at two ends of each optical fiber in a hybrid cable must be connected to the TX and RX ports on optical modules, one end to a TX port and the other end to an RX port.
Optical fibers in all hybrid cables must be connected according to the same rules. Table 9-24 provides the recommended connection rules.
