cables
Heavy ropes or wires
Cables are thick ropes or bundles of wires, typically used for support or transmission.
Steel cables hold up suspension bridges; electrical cables carry power or data.
To cable is to send a message by telegraph or undersea line—a usage fading as the technology becomes obsolete.
The crew secured the ship with heavy cables.
In knitting, a cable is a twisted pattern resembling braided rope.
