A composite reinforced electrical transmission conductor primarily designed for
transmission of electrical signals. The conductor is comprised of a reinforced
plastic composite inner core along with an outer highly electrically conductive
sheath therearound. In this way, the inner core provides the necessary strength
and the outer sheath provides for transmission of the electrical signals. In a
preferred embodiment, the reinforced composite core is comprised of individual
sections which cooperate together to provide the necessary loading capabilities.
Further, a fiber optic cable may also be carried by the composite reinforced core.
A splicing arrangement for securing ends of the cable together is also provided.
