German term or phrase: ZN
Optical-fiber cables:

Tests on Glasfaserkabel differ somewhat depending on "ZE" and "ZN":

"Prüfung der mechanischen Eigenschaften von Glasfaserkabel mit ZE/ZN Elementen als Zug-und Stauchschutz"

and "Bei Kable mit ZE aber ohne ZN für die Prüfung nur mit zugfestem Verschluß (Zihöse/Ziehstrumpf): [procedure]"

and
"Anordnung/Verbindung der ZN aus Glas und/oder Kunststoff"

"ZE" is explained later as "Zentralelement" (central member). What is "ZN"?

Explanation:
Etwas anderes lässt sich auf internet nicht finden. Untenerwähnter link erwähnt ZN ständig. Doch es sind alles PDF dokumente. Da Kabel aus metallischen und nichtmetallischen (nm) Teilen bestehen. hilft vielleicht dieser link weiter.
