interconnector
Grid joining cable
An interconnector is a cable or link that connects two systems, allowing transfer between them.
The term appears most often in energy contexts, where interconnectors link separate power grids or gas networks across regions or national borders: The undersea interconnector allows Britain to import electricity from France.
More broadly, any component that joins otherwise independent systems.
