Strong thick rope (5)

I believe the answer is:

cable

'strong thick rope' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cable that I've seen before include "Strong line" , "Heavy chain or rope" , "Rope for communication" , "Communications wire" , "Naut. length; transmit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Mirror.
