Last time I checked nautical cables do not carry photons or signals. Arresting cables, bowden cables are also cables that do not do so.

If I worked with it often enough, I'd probably refer to it by size or construction (EHS, 7x7, etc) I'd argue that a Bowden cable (eg a clutch cable) is primarily carrying a signal... really though, just thinking through what defines a cable. By contrast, rope and line are terms with fairly specific meanings.
