Hi; I think of a cord as being made of cloth, string, or leather. ) It can also be a connector (2-3 wires covered with a pliable plastic sheathing) for household electical appliances to a power source. I think of a cable as being much thicker and designed for industrial use.

It surely can be.
There are increasing numbers of types of cables and cords.
In 1858, Cyrus McCormick laid a transatlantic telegraph cable.
There are woven steel cables of various diameters used in elevator shafts and "steam shovels."
These would have a function similar to the woven nylon or cotton "cords" we use to operate our venitian blinds.
We have electric

The situation is not analogous. One is not a subclass of the other.
I can't think offhand of a single instance where I would use both terms to describe the same sample.
Well, a plastic sheathed computer cable and a plastic sheathed power cord might be indistinguishable if we weren't allowed to see the ends. They might well have the same diameter or gage or girth or whatever yo
