electrical breakdown fuse, electrical breakdown protection (circuit)
Apparently the cable was connected to an earthing/grounding device for coping with electrical breakdown situations. For an explanation of electrical breakdown, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_breakdown and http://www.tf.uni-kiel.de/matwis/amat/elmat_en/kap_3/backbon... , for example.
