A hybrid management cable includes a cable connector having a first cable sub-connector and a second cable sub-connector, The cable connector connects to a hybrid management switch connector on a hybrid management switch and, in response, engages the first cable sub-connector with a first hybrid management switch sub-connector on the hybrid management switch connector, and engages the second cable sub-connector with a second hybrid management switch sub-connector on the hybrid management switch connector. A cable conduit extends from the cable connector. A first management data transmission medium is connected to the first cable sub-connector, located in the cable conduit, and extends along the length of the cable conduit. A second management data transmission medium is connected to the second cable sub-connector, located in the cable conduit and isolated from the first management data transmission medium, and extends along the length of the cable conduit.
