Electrical Cables are Utilities that are used to link objects that need electricity. You need to place a line of Cables from a Power source to power objects.

Electricity from a Cable reaches up to 15 tiles in all directions to light up bulbs and other small electrical objects, however this range is blocked by walls, meaning the 15 squares of wire will have to go around the corner, not diagonally under the wall. Some objects and utilities need more power and will require a dedicated cable directly to them.

NB: The 15 tile range does not apply outdoors. Electrical items placed outdoors (such as CCTV cameras) will require an electrical cable directly underneath to receive power.
