Copy&pasting the recipe from an assembling machine to a requester box sets the requests to 30 seconds of crafting. With a 0.5 second crafting time, that would be 3750 copper cables in an assembling machine 3 for example and lots of processing units as well. That seems excessive.

As this isn't an item that is crafted very often and probably not multiples of it at any one time, increasing the crafting time to 10 seconds or so wouldn't really hurt much should you be handcrafting, but keep the requests at a much more reasonable level when using a bot mall to automate it.
