An optical fiber-containing insulator is disclosed, which comprises an insulator body having a through hole (1) provided in a central portion thereof, an optical fiber (8) inserted into the through hole, a stepped portion (3) formed in the through hole at at least one end of the insulator body, a sealing section consisting of a pair of holders (6-1,6-2) provided at upper and lower ends of the stepped portion, an inorganic glass layer (7) sandwiched between the holders, and a protective layer (5) formed on the outer holder. A process for producing such an optical fiber-containing insulator is also disclosed. |
