– the use of a metallic tower to hold telecommunication feeder cables and antennas;

– the placement of several feeder cables in a metallic cable ladder in the tower;

– the placement of telecommunication cables in a metallic cable tray;

– the use of a guard-wire above a buried telecommunication cable;

– the connection of a telecommunication cable to earth;

– the use of a telecommunication cable with a metallic sheath.
