Usage Note
Cable covers electrical cables, internet cables (cable de fibra óptica), and thick ropes or hawsers in nautical use. Televisión por cable means 'cable television'. The word is a direct cognate with English 'cable', making it easy to remember, but note that in Spanish the final e is pronounced (KAH-bleh), not silent.
Examples
"Conecta el cable al enchufe de la pared."
Natural Translation
Connect the cable to the wall socket.
