==Insulation==
There is no need to insulate glass fiber cable as it will not shock you. It also has the same energy loss as tin cable so it's best to use it when ever you can afford to, even on lower voltages.

== Interaction with other mods ==
* The cheaper recipe for the cable requires any silver, a resource added by Metallurgy, Thermal Expansion, Redpower, Factorization and other mods.
* With the GregTech addon installed, there is another recipe for this cable using Electrum Ingots (added by Thermal Expansion) if it is enabled.

Experimental-Only Content: This information has been updated to the V2.X version of IC².
The most recent version of IC² is V2.8.<html>.

The most expensive, and the most efficient cable type, Glass Fibre cable suffers very little distance-related energy loss. It tolerates currents up to Insane Voltage (8192 EU/t).

Due to latest quality standards of Glass Fibre Cable, only the highest quality materials can be utilized, resulting in reduced cable lengths from the same materials.
