  We investigate the properties of a static, cylindrically symmetric
Majumdar-Papapetrou-type solution of Einstein-Maxwell equations. We locate its
singularities, establish its algebraic type, find its asymptotic properties and
weak-field limit, study the structure of electrogeodesics, and determine the
mass and charge of its sources. We provide an interpretation of the spacetime
and discuss the parameter appearing in the metric.
