Changes: Gold Cable

Latest revision as of 20:48, 17 April 2014

The Gold Cable is the Tier 2 cable. They suffer higher distance-related energy losses than Copper Cables, but are able to carry Medium Voltage, up to 128 EU/tick. Gold cables have 2 different levels of insulation, with the 2x insulation providing smaller losses per tile and less shock damage from high voltage.

It's worth noting that even though gold cables have a higher energy loss per packet, this is countered by the fact that the maximum packet size for gold cables is 4 times that of copper cables. For example, if you send 128 EU/tick through 4 tiles using Copper Cables, you will have 4 packets of 32 EU/tick, and each of those will suffer a 1 EU/tick loss, resulting in 124 EU/tick reaching its destination. If Gold Cables are used, that 128 EU/tick will be sent in a single packet, that will suffer a 2 EU/tick loss, resulting in a final 126 EU/tick. For this reason, it is recommended to use transformers to elevate the voltage when transferring power through long distances.

Cable type	EU/b	Energy loss
Gold Uninsulated	0.5	1 EU every 2 blocks
Gold Insulated	0.45	1 EU every 2.22 blocks
Gold 2x Insulated	0.4	1 EU every 2.5 blocks
