Uses

The only way to get electricity across gaps between crafting surfaces is to place copper wire in an unbroken series of vertically and/or horizontally adjacent spaces between them. Wire can be placed in any space with a back wall or adjacent solid block, crafting surface, or wire.

It's also possible to use copper wire as a decoration.
