How it's used
Primarily used in the context of telecommunications and office switchboards. While it implies connecting two points, it specifically refers to the act of redirecting an incoming call to another extension or recipient. It is rarely used for physical objects, where terms like 駁埋 or 連接 are far more natural.
Examples
Could you please transfer me to the manager's line?
The line is very busy right now, I cannot transfer the call over.
Common mistake
Do not use this for physical connections like cables or pipes, as it sounds like you are trying to route a phone call through a piece of hardware.
