Why should I in the UK look for your local codes in Pakistan. Try having a look yourself.

Nevertheless the word "cable" generally could means "stranded wire" [electrical or mechanical] by word "cable" one usually understands "insulated wire or cable".

If you need to know the safety distance between overhead transmission lines live [bare] conductors this is not connected with my answer, indeed.

In my opinion, does not exist any standard rule for this. One has to calculate the slack in all configurations [taking in consideration the span and the load-ice, wind and so on].

The minimum gap has to be compared with the minimum required for air withstand BIL-also in possible pressure and temperature.
