Question: tail"rope" Boeing 737

Boeing 737-800/900, PMDG.

Somehow and completely unaware I must have activated an option, most likely for an optional hardware kit, that puts some kind of a "rope", most likely an antenna, at the upper tip of the "fin" at the rear of the airframe. With the plane sitting still, it just hangs down, but when flying, the wire or what it is is dragged by the plane in the horizontal.

Does anyone know what that could be? I have no clue for what term or option I should look for, since I don'T have an idea what it is. Some kind of additional new "antenna" is just my assumption. Or a sensor that is dragged behind?
