2xIns. HV Cable is Industrial Craft 2's double-insulated high-voltage power line, crafted from one Insulated HV Cable and one Rubber in a shapeless grid. Industrial Craft 2 ranks the HV Cable tier above copper and gold cables, and the second rubber layer on 2xIns. HV Cable reduces the EU lost per block and removes the shock damage that uninsulated HV cables inflict on players and mobs. The cable carries the same high voltage as the base HV Cable while delivering more current to the destination over long distances. Nuclear Reactors and MFE storage units feed their output through 2xIns. HV Cable runs when the generator sits hundreds of blocks from the machine farm.

Builders deploy 2xIns. HV Cable to wire MFSU and MFE banks to Industrial Craft 2 machines without leaking current or electrocuting anything that walks past. One Rubber sheet upgrades an Insulated HV Cable into 2xIns. HV Cable, and a third Rubber sheet turns the result into a 3xIns. HV Cable for the longest, lowest-loss runs. Industrial Craft 2 pairs the cable with EU Detector Cables and Splitter Cables that read or redirect the same high-voltage current. For power networks that push large EU across hundreds of blocks, 2xIns. HV Cable is the practical middle ground between the cheaper single-insulated version and the fully wrapped three-layer cable.
