Better AE Cables
ModrinthAdds higher-tier AE2 cable variants with 2x–4x channel capacity — Overclocked Smart/Dense Cables and a 128-channel Hyperconductive tier. Craft up, no rewiring.
Better AE Cables
More channels. More devices. Same cables you already know.
Ever maxed out a Dense Smart Cable and had to start P2P-tunneling your way around a channel wall? Better AE Cables adds higher-tier cable variants that slot directly into your existing Applied Energistics 2 setup — no rewiring your whole base, just craft up.
Features
🔌 Overclocked Smart Cable — 16 channels (2x standard Smart Cable)
🔌 Overclocked Dense Cable — 64 channels (2x standard Dense Cable)
🔌 Hyperconductive Dense Cable — 128 channels, the new top tier for players who need to connect everything
🎨 Full variant support — every colour, covered, and glass version gets an upgraded counterpart, so your network still looks the way you want it to
⚙️ Tiered crafting — each tier builds on the last, gated behind meaningful material costs. Higher channel counts mean higher power draw too — this isn't a free lunch
🛠️ Configurable — tune capacity multipliers to fit your pack
