Abstract
An elongated, insulative tube of high mechanical strength consists of resin bonded glass fibers wound in alternating helical and circumferential winding patterns. The glass fiber convolutions at the outer limits of these winding patterns embrace metallic inserts, securely captivating them within the open ends of the tube. Tapped central bores in these inserts threadedly receive end fittings adapting the tube to a transmission line supporting function. The tube also externally mounts a pair of spaced arcing rings and internally mounts a varistor array for protecting a transmission line against lightning strikes.
