When you connect 8channel cables together into a dense cable the dense cable still only allows a maximum of 8 channels to be used.

I tried to do that because the toggle bus doesnt work on dense cables -> split into 4 cables each with toggle bus and combine them again.

It's because there are two equal length paths to where the channels are
trying to connect.

Length Route"

make it simpler, the first line who connects to the dense cable gets the ownership and blocks of the rest.
no matter what you try you only have 8 channels aviable.

Dense cable only allow 32 channels when directly connected to controller. Me cable only allows 8 channels regardless of how it's placed.

AE2 uses a greedy algorithm to mark cables as visited to not get stuck in loops and also does not keep track of the origin of them. It is just an number set after a block was visited.

Yes this prevents joining multiple smart cables into the same dense one, But that is a pretty rare case because who would waste 96 channels to do it? It would also mean we would have to track the source of every single channel to allow it. Which would be a massive requirements on terms of needed memory and probably make the pathing algorithm way slower as it has to do up to 32 checks per cable and not 1.
