Datacord is a form of networking cable[1] presumably used in modern Colonial military ships.
Datacord is used in Raptors as part of its avionics, particularly its fly-by-wire flight controls.[2]
After 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 (Rapture).
