Transmit via cable (9)

I believe the answer is:

telegraph

(Other definitions for telegraph that I've seen before include "Signal" , "Device for transmitting information over distance" , "Send message" , "Means of communication" , "Messaging system" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
