In Baden-Württemberg several powerlines, which were built by EVS (now part of EnBW) have a unique and interesting feature: a communication cable, which is fixed like a garland on the ground conductor or sometimes an auxiliary rope:

Do you know also interesting installations of communication cables on powerline towers? Do communication cables installed like garlands on ground conductors and auxiliary ropes only exist in Baden-Württemberg or also in other parts of the world? I believe not as I saw such a stuff nowhere else, but I may be wrong.

Die Mittelspannungsleitung zwischen Ried und Eberdingen hat (oder hatte) auch so ein Girlandenkabel.
