Use power=cable for low / high voltage insulated electricity distribution cables which are normally located underground. Typically used for the local 0.4 kV network and for underground or underwater sections of the primary transmission grid.

These heavier cables should not be confused with light-weight uninsulated power distribution lines supported by pylons and poles, for which power=line is normally more appropriate. For wires and cables used to communication data, voice or information, consider using communication=line.

By default, cables are assumed to be underground or underwater. Use location=overground where they are above ground level. Optionally, use layer=* to indicate the relative vertical alignment of different features.

Power lines by voltage using the power lines map from ITO Map

Cables are not rendered on the standard Mapnik map. The following services do show cables:

• ITO Map offers a Electricity power lines view (available globally). Power cables are shown as dotted lines.
• Maperitive power line rule set for rendering power lines, cables and substations in Maperitive.
