cable

A generic term used to describe a variety of coated cables, cords, tubes and wires used in electronics and a range of science fiction related equipment and machinery. This includes, but is not limited to, audio cables, power cables, video cables, data cables, and coated wires.

There is no restriction on the thickness of what can be tagged a cable, and thin coated wires should receive this tag as opposed to the wire tag. The wire tag is restricted to bare metal wires only.

For the X-Men character, see Cable (Marvel).
