Many people use a plethora of tech mods, or one of the big mod packs that have multiple tech mods. Myself, I am using Bevo's Tech pack. In the never-ending search for a renewable or easily-supply-able massive power source, I've settled on Big Reactors. I've found I can make reactors that get 18k Rf/t, 24k Rf/t, even 60-some k Rf/t. It could go even more, but that's already ridiculous. Most of the work I've done have been on creative, though I have built a 13x13x3 passively-cooled reactor that can get up to about 24k Rf/t on survival. (Again, this is Bevo's Tech pack, so your numbers might be different, depending on configuration settings, and maybe even what mods are installed.)
In designing these massive reactors, I'm suddenly realizing that I don't think my cables, even the top end ones, are able to carry that much power, so much of it could be wasted. So, I'm now on a quest to find what is the absolute best power cable out there, in terms of Rf/t capacity. If I'm reading the wikis right. EnderIO's Ender Energy conduits are rated up to 20480 Rf/t, and Mekanism's Ultimate Universal Cables are rated to 12800 Rf/t. Out of all the standard tech mods (Industrial Craft, Buildcraft, EnderIO, Thermal Expansion, Mekanism, Railcraft, Forestry, Minefactory Reloaded, etc, etc), does anyone know of any cables that might handle more than EnderIO?
I know I could just hook up a tesseract to the power tap (at least I think I can, will the tesseract connect directly to the power tap without a cable?), and run multiple cables out of the other end, but barring that, I'm wondering if there's any cable solution that would allow me to build a reactor that puts out more than 20k Rf/t or so, and be able to use it all.
I realise this was posted a long time ago now but have you tried Thermal Dynamics? RWTema has coded some top tier fluxducts that transfer unlimited RF p/t (effectively lossless energy transfer via cable) but at a very expensive cost (gelid cryothium needed to fill the ducts along with the crafting of the base component duct first)
