I finally used composite fiber-optic cable.
Nobody gave me this answer, but you were the first, so you get the points.
Composite with electric power might not be the correct answer - I have no more context, I don't want to imagine things. Besides, a composite video cable does not have power either, it is a mix of different video signals.
This cable probably carries some mixed information on a fiber-optic cable.
Again, no more context, so I want to stick with the more literal translation.

Explanation:
If your suggestions are incorpated, I would suggest "composite optical fiber cable". There are 10 sites that use "composite optical cable", whereas there are 18 sites that use "composite optical fiber cable" in Google.

The last two are also suggested from the links below. In the first link, "光複合海底ケーブル" is "submarine cable integrating optic fiber", and, in the second link, "optic hybrid" is used for "光複合".

agree  Maynard Hogg: Naruhodo. Composite does not mean much in the context of just bundles of optical fibers.

optical composite cable.


Explanation:
the meaning of 複合 【ふくごう】 combined or composite, and the meaning of ko is optical, that's why your answer is right, i think so.複合の
combined // complex // composite // compound // multiple // multiplicate .

複合割付け対象体 【ふくごうわりつけたいしょうたい】 composite layout object .

複合命令セットコンピューター 【ふくごうめいれいセットコンピューター】 CISC; Composite Instruction Set Computer .

複合論理対象体 【ふくごうろんりたいしょうたい】 composite logical object .

i hope these examples help you to choose your answer.
