Abstract
A small diameter, shielded, fine wire glass fiber conductor which is capable of transmitting optical and electrical signals in environments with electromagnetic interference or radio frequency interferences. The conductor includes a fiber core, a first insulation layer, a conductive layer, a second insulation layer, a shielding layer, and an outer coating. Applications include use in aerospace, automotive, and other vehicles as well as potential use in electrostimulation devices, such as pacemaker leads, vascular guidewires and other medical applications.
