Copper Cable and Insulated Copper Cable | Medium | 128 | 512 |
Gold Cable and Insulated Gold Cable | High | 512 | 2K |

Usage Notes
- Copper, Gold, and HV cables can be insulated using Rubber. Uninsulated cables can cause damaging shocks (and use energy in the process)!
- There is no insulated version of the GlassFiber Cable because this cable will not shock you.
- There is no insulated version of the Tin Cable, but it will still shock you.
- Cables can be dismantled instantly by shift-right-clicking with the Wrench
