power cables

Heavy-duty conductors

Power cables are heavy-duty electrical cords designed to transmit electricity, typically at higher voltages or currents than ordinary wiring.

They connect buildings to the grid, link components in electrical systems, or supply power to heavy equipment.

In computing, power cables connect devices to outlets: Make sure the power cable is plugged in before troubleshooting.
