I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'communicating' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being present participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'with conductors?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wiring that I've seen before include "work for electrician" , "Electrical circuitry" , "Building's electrical installation" , "Electrical network" , "Electrical system" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
