A game mechanic (e.g. a part, a feature, etc)

Why are you making your suggestion?

This would facilitate the creation of wired drones and things such as retractable hoses without the need for bulky Transporters or energy-costly Routers. Overall, it would increase the flexibility of CJoint connections as it would allow them to be dynamically resized via Winches.

What do you propose? What should change, or what should be added?

I propose that the Winch part act as a universal conductor/wiresystem node. For example, the following:

DevBattery --Weld--> Winch --Rope--> Light

would have the Light turn on. Crucially, it should work with Ethernet and resources (Chutes/Pipes) too.

But it's made out of metal (or a very strong rope?) to help pull stuff up/down, how can it transfer items and resources?
