    Abstract: A hybrid optical/electrical connector and mated adapter for terminating at least one hybrid optical/electrical cable containing an optical fiber and a conductor. The connector includes a crimp body having an elongated conductive insert with an interior passage for receiving the optical fiber and a non-conductive shell covering the insert. The insert has a contact portion exposed through the shell and an end extending beyond the shell for electrical engagement with the hybrid cable conductor. The adapter includes a non-conductive housing with a plug connector receiving channel. Within the plug receiving channel, a conductor extends longitudinally. The conductor has a contact point within the channel in alignment with the exposed contact portion of the insert so that when the connector is inserted within the receiving channel, the exposed contact portion of the insert and the conductor contact point of the adapter are in electrical engagement with one another.
