## Description

[Cables](/wiki/cables) connect power and data to various machines and electronics. Different cable types are rated for different maximum loads before they will experience burnout.
- Normal: 5 kW
- Heavy: 100 kW
- Super Heavy: 500 kW
[Transformers](/wiki/transformer) and [fuses](/wiki/kit-cable-fuses) can help to protect against overload damage.

## Cable Networks

Interconnected cables create networks. Devices connected to a network can draw [Power](/wiki/power) or connect with [Data](/wiki/data), as long as the device is connected with the respective power or data port.

## Variations

Can be painted individually or by the stack with [Spray Can](/wiki/spray-can). (consumes a single 'use' of the can either way, far more efficient to paint a full stack)
