Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / bauaufsichtliche Zulassung
German term or phrase: Drahtanker
wird in Fassadenbekleidung benutzt.

Die Dübeltypen A und B dürfen auch zur Verankerung von *Drahtankern* nach DIN xxyz verwendet werden.

Weiß jemand, wie das heißt? Ich finde zwar wire anchor als Begriff, glaube aber nicht, dass es passt.

Thanks. Sometimes the obvious does work. Cable anchor seems OK too.
