For the copper cable, you need to first create un insulated copper cable. this is done by putting 3 copper horizontaly accross a crafting table. this should result in the desired item. then, place rubber and the uninsulated wire into a crafting table. it doesent matter where you put the two. this should get you insulated copper cables, usable for crafting. they conduct 32 eu well, but anything above that and it will loose power exponentially.

for the copper plates, it requires that 8 peices of copper are in a powered compressor. you may have accidentally only put one in, common mistake.
