• Will they have a limited 'range'? (My guess is very likely no, but you never know.)
  
• Are they just peripheral cables or are they multipurpose as in rednet and peripheral? (Guess is likely yes, again I can never know.)
  
• Since they are peripheral capable which I know is a fact, how can I use it for the rednet, (that is if it is rednet capable,) when a malicious user can just wrap my computer and turn it off, do you have anything to combat that?
  
• Sorta relating to the last question. In the preview image I saw two states of the interface between the computer/peripheral and the cable, those states were, like the modems, red and grey. Does that mean that only the grey/inactive interfaces can be used as a peripheral?
  
• Are the crafting recipe for the cables/cable interface that expensive? (Guess is likely no.)

Thanks.

nope, you cant reverse wrap a computer through the modem, you will have to connect a cable (without a modem) to the computer for it to be accessed as a peripheral, not sure tho

Great news!

EDIT: Removed "Thanks" because it gives a sort of a sense that I am satisfied entirely when only one question was answered. Thanks again PixelToast!
