Well I'm using a modpack with quite some technical mods - and I just started a big reactor.
After having dozens of self-supplying rf systems that have a by-product of creating useful items (magma crucible -> stirrling, or auto farmer -> wheat -> bread -> culinary generator).

But the first thing that struck me: those numbers - how am I supposed to transport and distribute the RF. A quick mock-up generator I build already produces 75K RF/tick (passivelly cooled). This is enough for quite some time - but I see no way to actually distribute it - all tiers of transportation (thermal expansion/enderio) are just too slow. Even the transceiver from ender io can only do like 20k a tick I think?

What is typically used for such large networks? Making a line with capacitors seems just annoying, but is that the only option?

Tesseracts as mentioned are infinite throughput, but the cyro-stablised fluxducts and the RF cables in Electricraft both have infinite throughput.

Hmm I kind of like the tradeoff that transceiver gives (no placing of wires/infinite throughput at a minor loss).

Thermal Expansion Tesseracts work the same as Ender IO Dimensional transceivers, but they are lossless and have infinite throughput. Another option many people forget about is Applied Energistics. It can transfer RF and EU power using P2P tunnels. Simply place a P2P tunnel on your network, connect it to power, then click it with a conduit(Ender IO of TE ducts) and it will become a RF P2P. Then add a P2P tunnel wherever you need power and set it with the memory card. This allows everything to go through just a single cable(AE) instead of having power, fluids, items, and power being separate. Also, if you have a large AE network that you connect most of your machines, etc. too, then you will already have a cable going to most things that need power already and you can save a lot of effort of running new power lines everywhere.
