The invention relates to the field of electrical insulators, and in particular to the field of electrical insulators for optical phase conductors (OPPCs). The electrical insulator comprises a dielectric rod (1) having at least one slot (10), a flexible optical fiber cable (2) situated in the slot (10), a dielectric material (8) filling the slot (10) and holding the cable (2) in the slot (10) without stressing it, and a dielectric covering (3) surrounding the rod (1) and presenting outwardly-directed projections (30) in the form of skirts, the entire space situated between the rod (1) and the cable (2) being filled with said dielectric filler and holding material (8).
