摘要

Stretched along a tower (1) for an offshore wind power facility, a cable (2) is held under an overhanging gibbet/boom (3) with a funnel-shaped receptacle (4). On the bottom cable end there is a conical counterpart (5) that stays in the receptacle when inactive. The receptacle is slotted on one side so that the cable can be led away outwards after it has been extended downwards.
