A cable over 90 HD units in length will still not break.
This is almost as high as the construction grid (with land lowered!).
It carries 4 heavy sticks (as any long cable) before ripping the linkbox.
If using 2 more cables to attach weight, I can put about 8 heavy sticks on.
Even a 2 HD unit cable (this is as short as it gets) supports the 90 HD unit monster. However, a 2 HD light steel box bursts; gotta have a 3HD box to hang that cable from. This means it weighs less than a light stick. Believe me, these cables are not heavy :-)

Btw, using two cables in a V shape (instead of 1 vertical one of same length) to hold a linkbox increases its strength by more than 50%.
