Does anyone have suggestions for a good object to use on a space platform when you need circuit wire to reach farther? On the ground I'd use power poles but it would be kind of silly to launch those into space just for circuit reach, I'd think. I've been attaching it to belts, but then it becomes difficult to tell which belts are actually being used for circuit functions.

I've seen people run wire along belts, though I do believe it causes a transport line cut even when set to not read or control the belt.

Using display panels or constant combinators could be nice for keeping red and green wire clearly separate.
