That's unintuitive, unexpected, and... makes things much easier, actually.

In theory, you could rig up an unwieldy analogue to this with an Energy-O-Mat.
But I agree, Redstone power should be able to disable the conductivity of a cable block.
Then you could have something clever, like a machine that only receives power conditional to a coded array of levers.
I'm not sure if it would be possible with all of the cables though, IIRC redstone can only power opaque blocks.
Currents don't combine, as stated in multiple threads around here. You use 4 BatBoxes to fill the cable with 128EU, that means every packet is 32EU, which is perfectly fine for a Copper cable.
So if I'm understanding this correctly, the EU rating of a cable is the largest EU per packet the cable can accommodate, and NOT actually how much EU per frame a cable can transfer?
You need to figure out some rules and make a page on the wiki for them.
It's impossible to contribute when you don't know what not to do.
