Editing Datacord

'''Datacord''' (also called generically as '''data cabling''') is a form of networking cable<ref>In the real-world Earth, networking cable is also used in avionics, which usually consists of twisted-pair Ethernet cabling or other advanced and military-hardened technology.</ref> presumably used in [[Colonial Fleet (TRS)|modern Colonial military ships]].

Datacord is used in [[Raptor]]s as part of its [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Colonial Avionics|avionics]], particularly its fly-by-wire flight controls.<ref>It is probable that the datacord in a Raptor also has a fiber-optic element to aid in its radiation-hardening, as established in the episode "[[The Passage]]".</ref>

After [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck's]] Raptor crashes from Cylon fire during a reconnaissance run on the [[algae planet]], Lieutenant [[Anastasia Dualla]] manages to use datacord from the ship's communication system to repair the flight control console {{TRS|Rapture}}.

{{callsign|Athena}} directs {{callsign|Starbuck}} to remove some "slow mode, 1310" datacord from their [[Raptor]] as part of a repair to mate their Colonial [[jump]] systems to the stricken [[Basestar (RDM)|baseship]] to restore its FTL ability<ref>Agathon's warning to Thrace that faster datacord could blow their systems suggests that the Colonials use rated variations of data cable based on speed, similar to the [http://www.networkdictionary.com/networking/EthernetCableStandardsSpecifications.php cabling specifications and speeds in contemporary computer networking].</ref> {{TRS|Faith}}.
