Danish term or phrase: fællesantenneanlæg
This appears in specifications for a building construction contract. So far, my options are the familiar "cable TV system", "community antenna system" and (new to me) "cabled distribution network" – https://webshop.ds.dk/Files/Files/Products/55322_attachPV.pd...

Please justify your suggestions with authoritative references if available. This not poetry translation. ;-)
