 Networking cable is used to establish network connections between [[computer]]s and [[peripheral]]s. To connect networking cable to a computer or peripheral, computercraft uses [[Wired Modem]]s which can be attached to the sides of appropriate computercraft blocks. This means that networking cable can be set up next to a computer without connecting the computer to the network if the player doesn't choose to attach a modem there.
