	A cable is a line made of rope, chain or wire that has different functions according to the application it is used for. It can either tie together two points or simply connect them, as in electricity conveyance or data transmission, and can be loadbearing or non-loadbearing. Cables can be vertical, diagonal, horizontal, or may follow a characterisitc catenary shape that curves with gravity to a low point in the middle of the cable.
