> a copper pair going along the fibers

I learned the other day that this is actually a thing one can buy. Direct bury hybrid fiber copper, up to looked like 2 OS2 strands and 2 12awg copper conductors. It's fantastically expensive but might be worth it for certain applications, like cameras that are beyond PoE distance limits and also don't have power available.
