It acts as a tube and [[Red Alloy Wire]] in one, capable of transporting items and a redstone signal simultaneously. Redstone Tubes are very handy for reducing wiring clutter, particularly in tight spaces. Use a [[Jacketed Wires|Jacketed Wire]] to connect a Redstone Tube to a Red Alloy Wire on a floor, wall, or ceiling.

Note that along with the space saving, there is a slight cost saving as well. Using a Redstone Tube is cheaper than using a separate piece of Red Alloy Wire by 1/4 of an [[Iron]] or [[Copper]] Ingot per item produced.
The [[Redstone Tube]] is a version of the [[Pneumatic Tube]] with Redstone wire running inside. This allows the Redstone Tube to transmit Redstone current received from either [[Red Alloy Wire]] or from [[Jacketed Wire]]. This can be useful for triggering [[Filter]]s and [[Transposer]]s, as these require Redstone pulses and not a steady current if they are to function.

Two differently colored Redstone Tubes that are adjacent to each other will appear connected and will conduct redstone signals between them, but items will not cross between them. This makes it possible to run Redstone Tubes in parallel maintaining separate item paths but allowing redstone signals to bridge the gap. If redstone signals need to be isolated, then a [[Cover]] must be placed between the tubes to prevent them from connecting.
Redstone Tubes, like Pneumatic Tubes, can be painted. If two lines of Redstone Tube are running directly next to one another but are painted different colors, items will not be transferred between the two, but they will appear connected and can transfer Redstone signals.
 
Note that Redstone Tubes will not send a redstone signal to any non-[[RedPower 2]] machines it connects to; you must use Jacketed Wire or Red Alloy Wire to transfer the signal.

The Redstone Tube is a version of the Pneumatic Tube with Redstone wire running inside. This allows the Redstone Tube to transmit Redstone current received from either Red Alloy Wire or from Jacketed Wire. This can be useful for triggering Filters and Transposers, as these require Redstone pulses and not a steady current if they are to function.

Redstone Tubes, like Pneumatic Tubes, can be painted. If two lines of Redstone Tube are running directly next to one another but are painted different colors, items will not be transferred between the two, but they will appear connected and can transfer Redstone signals.

Note that Redstone Tubes will not send a redstone signal to any non-RedPower 2 machines it connects to; you must use Jacketed Wire or Red Alloy Wire to transfer the signal.
