Cables - TinyModularThings/IC2Classic GitHub Wiki

The Cables are used to transmit power. The loss is in EU per block per packet, meaning that every packet loses the amount written in the Loss value no matter how much EU it has. The Cables can transmit any number of packets per tick.

If an unsafely insulated cable is touched by an entity while a packet passes through it, it violently discharges, damaging the entity.

Mean loss is loss of one EV packet (2048 EU) that travelled through the cable split into as many packets as needed (if the cable tier is bigger than EV, the loss is divided).

Cables can be painted with Painters and are autopainted when placed with a painter in off-hand.
