Copper cables are an intermediate product made from copper plates. They are very important for manufacturing circuits and electrical connections.

Copper cable can also be used to connect or disconnect power poles. Select the copper cable from your inventory, and connect it with a left click to two electric poles. This way, you can manually wire some of the more complex systems, like making steam engines work only when accumulators are empty.

Disconnecting the cable between two medium electric poles.

-* You can fully load a [[Transport belt]] with six [[assembling machine 1]], three feeding to each side.
-* Feeding directly onto the main running belt, the third [[assembling machine 1]] will not achieve full production as it waits for a gap on the belt. Having a spur solves this problem.
