First, Cables do not act like redstone, you cannot place them diagonally to travel in a stair formation as they will no automatically connect.  You must place cable so that it always connects to other cable to transmit along it.
 
 
Starting simple this is the most basic set up without omitting the MFE Transmitter. The max Cable length is achieved here. The cable is 6 long then the receiver is counted as the last hence 7 long. Loss is calculated at every 5 length, but you are given a buffer of 2 for the first segment. You lose 1 EU at every lenght that is too long.
 
I vote to change this to:
 
This is the most basic setup:  The max Cable length without loss is 9 pieces of cable, with the MFE Transmitter where the 10th piece would go.  Energy loss happens when you go over 9 cable lengths.  At that point, you lose 1 energy for every 3 more cable you place down.  That is, at 10 cable, -1 EU; at 13 cable, -2 EU; at 16 cable, -3 EU; etc...
 
 
MFE's will output from the top by default, not the bottom.

== Wiring Tutorial Picture Download Speed ==
 
You might have noticed the pictures on this page download somewhat (yawn.......) slowly. I first thought they where way too big, but downloaded one to my computer and it was only ~700 KB's. Not sure if that is still large for the Interwebs, or if your server here is just giving you a small amount of bandwidth for images.
 
Just wanted to bring this up because you might be able to get away with smaller file sizes for your images, thus speeding up browsing and saving you bandwidth (in case you have a limit, or pay as you go for data).
 
BUT many many many thanks for finally having the wiring images up on a stable server :D!

: well, thought square7.ch could hold up a few more users and so on... but it fails hard and sometimes wiki is down :( May we need a "real" webspace and no freehoster :S I will see^^

Hey Shiding here, I made a small information vid about the IC2 Wiring on youtube, in the description stands the EU loss/blocks and some usefull tips :D search LordShiding and you'll find it :D

== Tutorial out of date ==
 
This tutorial is largely out-of-date. For example, you *can* run cables in a stair formation now. The pictures are obviously out-of-date. BatBoxes, etc. etc. --[[User:Trifler|Trifler]] 03:30, 10 October 2011 (CEST)
 
 
== Would someone please take the time to fix the images? ==
 
The article is locked for some dumb reason and I can't do it myself.
 
The images on that page are embedded at full resolution and in all that's several megabytes of bandwidth every time the page is requested.. if it's not having a horrible impact on the server itself, I'm willing to bet it's annoying people with slower connection speeds.
 
Change <nowiki>[[file:wiring_1.png|link=]]</nowiki> to <nowiki>[[Image:wiring_1.png|thumb|300px|optional-desc]]</nowiki> for example.
 
That way, MediaWiki will use its automatic thumbnailed previews, each image on the page will be '''about eight times smaller''', and anyone who wants to view the full-resolution image can click through, like on every other sane wiki. It'll look like:
 
[[Image:wiring_1.png|thumb|300px|This is the image description!]]

Very outdated, no loss of EU over distance, voltages don't explode machines[edit]
