power cable
Delivers electricity flexibly
A power cable is a cord that transmits electrical current from a source to a device.
Most commonly, it connects equipment to wall outlets: I need a power cable for my monitor.
Power cables range from thin cords for laptops to heavy-duty lines carrying high voltage across distances.
