kaapeleissa

Kaapeleissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish noun kaapeli, meaning “in cables.” It is used to indicate location inside multiple cables, for example when describing the interior of a cable bundle, the routing of electrical or data cables, or conditions within installations where several cables run together.

Grammatically, kaapeli denotes a single cable; its nominative plural is kaapelit, and its inessive plural is kaapeleissa. The inessive case answers “where?” and expresses that something is located within the space of the cables. In technical Finnish, kaapeleissa commonly appears in descriptions of cable trays, conduits, or insulation states.

Examples: “Kosteutta esiintyy usein kaapeleissa” (Moisture commonly occurs in cables). “Johtoja tarkistetaan säännöllisesti, jotta kaapeleissa ei synny oikosulkuja” (Lines are checked regularly to prevent faults inside cables). The phrase is versatile in electrical, networking, and building maintenance contexts.

Etymology and related terms: The noun kaapeli is a loanword from European languages, typically traced to Swedish kabel or French câble, adopted into Finnish usage. Related terms include kaapelointi (the act of cabling) and other compound formations used to describe cable systems and installation practices.
