cable

/keɪ.bl/noun

A long cord or line used to link things together physically.

Example sentence

“The technician ran a cable from the router to the television.”

In America, "cable" alone long meant cable television: "we cut the cable" means canceled it. As a dated verb it meant to send a telegram.
