Opti-cable

Opti-cable was a type of optical cable used aboard starships. Opti-cable was could be used for creating a routing bypass in the ship's computer system.

In rigging the USS Hathaway for Operation Lovely Angel, Lieutenant Worf ripped a bundle of opti-cable from bridge ceiling so that Ensign Nagel could use it to make the necessary modifications to fool the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)'s sensors against it to create a false image of another hostile ship.
