Note
One spelling does double duty: the simple past (she cabled the office) and the past participle after have or be (the towers were cabled before the deck went on). Most uses take an object, such as wires, a bridge or the news. The communication meaning can also stand alone, as in they cabled home for money. Once it takes more and most, it has become the adjective form.
