Abstract: Microwave transmission unit, especially a microwave filter (1), and including a cabinet (2) with a first coaxial connector (3) and a second coaxial connector (4), where both coaxial connectors include an inner conductor (6) and an outer conductor (7), said cabinet (2) being made of a non-conducting material, such as plastics, and coated with a metal layer. The microwave transmission unit (1) includes a lightning conductor (5) which is dimensioned so as to conduct lightning current without being damaged to any serious extent, and which is electrically connected to the outer conductor (7) of the first coaxial connector (3) and to the outer conductor (7) of the second coaxial connector (4).
