peer agreement (net): +1wire guard rails Explanation: "Drahtseil" can just mean wire. "Wire guard rail" gets a few search engine hits. That's probably the neatest way to translate it. |

cable rail(ing)s Explanation: a "Drahtseilbahn" is a "cable car" - hence I would translate Drahtseil with "cable". The website below shows some pictures of the company's products, that might be just what is meant in your text... Reference: http://www.feeneygateway.com/cablerail.html |

cable-wire crash protection Explanation: would be understood in the US. Safeguard is a "Schutzvorrichtung". BTW: don't say wirecable or wire rope |
