And this explains what they are:

Die Hausanschlußsäule wird bei der Außenanschlußtechnik eingesetzt. Diese Anschlußsäule wird an die Grundstücksgrenze montiert und sollte vom öffentlichen Verkehrsraum bedienbar sein. In den Anschlußraum wird Sockelfüller eingebracht, damit die elektrischen Einbauten nicht korrodieren.
Für den Anschluß eines einzelnen Grundstückes wird die Hausanschlußsäule mit einer Sicherungsleiste verwendet. Die angeschlossenen Kabel werden mittels Befestigungsschelle mechanisch arretiert.
Die Hausanschlußsäule ermöglicht den Anschluß von maximal 2 Grundstücken und wird in diesem Fall auf die teilende Grundstücksgrenze montiert.

Explanation:
I think this is how I would suggest you get round it; AFAIK, this is not the usual form of power connection in the UK at least; about the USA and other E-S countries I hve no idea, but I think this would enable most of them to picture what sort of installation was meant.
