Danish term or phrase: afspændingskæde
Strømforsyning leveres af et solcellepanel, der suppleret af et internt batteri sørger for energi til
målinger og kommunikation.
Trækmålingen foretages af to vejeceller, som monteres i hver sin afspændingskæde og dermed
måler trækket i begge sider af masten. Signalerne føres med kabler til CAT-1.

tension chain


Explanation:
A general term, but it fits the context.

I've heard "stress-relieving chain" being used as well but this term returns surprisingly few hits on google..

Alternatively:
"pylon cable", see photo http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-1361316.html

Example:
So Pylon cable 15m over the ground is at least 15m from anybody, whereas you could be as close as 2m to a buried cable and not know.

Example sentence(s):
  • Adding the proposed pylon chain straight across the valley and up Brookby ridge will completely destroy this billion dollar landscape.
  • Such endpoints are necessary when interfacing with other modes of power transmission (see image) and, due to the inflexibility of the conductors, when significantly altering the direction of the pylon chain.

Asker: Thank you, but this definition did not suit this particular text. The context seems to suggest a particular item, rather than a 'chain of pylons'. (This is clearer in other parts of the text than the section I quoted here). But thanks anyway for the links.
