Fiber + copper may be quite useful for tower applications.

There is some copper in that lot as well, looks like it may be some type of hybrid cable with a few fiber strands and some copper (I see spade style electrical connectors and molex style). Not worth buying in my opinion. It's not outside plant style fiber.
