A cable stone is a marker in cast concrete showing the placement of a long-distance cable in the terrain.
Usually the cables would be rigged up on state owned land and in many cases they would follow the roads, but wherever the route could be shortened by going over private ground, this would be done. The cable sign on the stone would face the cable trench. The number on the sign was in turn a referral to the cable map. In this way, it was easy to find the nearest cable splice and the distance to the nearest measuring station. Some stones were simply marked with “K.”
These cable stones would mark out the route of the long-distance cable between Kongsberg and Hokksund.
About the object
aboutEn kabelstein er et anvisningsmerke støpt i beong for å vise plassering av fjernkabel i terrenget.
Vanligvis ble kablene lagt på statens grunn og fulgte i mange tilfeller veibanen. Der ruten kunne forkortes ved at den ble lagt over privat grunn, ble dette gjort. Kabelskiltet på steinen vendte mot kabelgrøfta. Nummeret på skiltet henviste i sin tur til kabelkartet. Slik ble det lett å finne nærmeste kabelskjøt og avstanden til nærmeste målestasjon. Enkelte steiner var bare merket med "K".
