Are cable crossings in the obstacle database?

Cables cross rivers, and are sometimes strung across a valley or coulee. Are these crossings in the Skyview obstacle database? If not, is it possible to install a database that shows them?

It looks like they are - at least some of the ones that show up on sectionals (and maybe all of them). I'm not sure of the exact criteria, but one well-known cable run up near Arlington, WA near us is definitely in there. You see the tower obstacles at the endpoints, with a few "catenary" obstacles representing the cable sprinkled throughout the valley.
