Disclosed are fiber optic assemblies for adding additional nodes to a communication network. The fiber optic assemblies include a plurality of optical fibers and a plurality of electrical conductors for transmitting power with a protective sheath covering at least a portion of the same. The fiber optic assembly also includes an optical stub fitting assembly having a rigid housing attached to a optical portion of the composite cable, thereby furcating one or more optical fibers of the fiber optic cable into one or more optical fiber legs. One or more of the optical fiber legs may include one or more optical connector attached thereto. Optionally, the fiber optic assembly may further include a coaxial adapter for transmitting power.
