a shock how ?
those lines in the picture you posted are low voltage
you need a education
Oh I'm gonna whip some knowledge up on ya slacker.
That is a multi pair telephone cable.
However many pairs there are in there, each pair has a "tip" and a "ring" side.
When a call is made, you get somewhere close to 90 volts DC on the ring side. That Will get your attention if youre in the ditch splicing and get a bare spot.
Fond memories from my youth...

It is. Made of an aluminum type of foil if I remember right. PVC outer jacket. Most has some sort of slimy crap in between the pairs to keep corrosion down.
Yep, it is low voltage, but it doesnt feel like it.
I'm actually a licensed electrician still, though ive worked on overhead cranes for years.
Never cared for high voltage. Medium is bad enough.
Ive felt 277, 575, and everything below that. Not a good time.
