Explanation:
Es handelt sich hier nur um ein Beispiel - daher mein Vorschlag:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabelbrücke

Kabelbrücken werden entweder auf dem Boden verlegt oder verlaufen in großer Höhe (über Kopf/unter der Zimmerdecke), zum Beispiel beim Bühnenbau.
Optische Warnelemente sollen Unfälle verhindern. Gelbes Klebeband oder Blinklicht sind üblich.

Reference information:
Definition of fly rail: a railing above the fly gallery of a theatrical stage bearing cleats or pins by which ropes may be made fast https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fly rail

FLY FLOOR(S)
High working platform at the side(s) of the stage from which the flying lines are handled. Often are also the site for socket panels for connecting flown lighting apparatus to dimmers, and also sometimes a lighting position. Known in the US as Fly Gallery. http://www.theatrecrafts.com/pages/home/topics/stage-managem...

FLY RAIL / FLYRAIL
Originally, this was the structure where the flying lines / ropes were tied off to hold scenery and other flown equipment in position. With the advent of counterweighted systems, this refers to the area where the flying system is operated. Also known as PIN RAIL or, in the UK, FLY FLOOR.
http://www.theatrecrafts.com/pages/home/topics/stage-managem...

pin rail -- fixed beam of steel, placed in the fly loft or on the stage floor at one side of the stage, to which are attached the lines that are used to raise and lower scenery or drops
http://dramalogbook.weebly.com/uploads/4/2/9/1/42911569/list...

flying -- being raised up in the air; to "fly" a piece of scenery is to raise it up using ropes or
cables. People may also be flown, but only by trained professionals using special equipment http://dramalogbook.weebly.com/uploads/4/2/9/1/42911569/list...

Fliegen Betriebsmittel an der Saaldecke oder einer Traverse aufhängen. https://bibliotheksportal.de/content/uploads/2017/11/Lexikon...
