Accordance with cable (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cord

'cable' is the definition.
(I know that cord is a type of power cable)

'accordance with' is the wordplay.
'with' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'CORD' is hidden within 'accordance'.

(Other definitions for cord that I've seen before include "Strong string" , "Rope; fabric" , "Small rope or thick string" , "Small rope; flex" , "Thin string" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
