A series of electrical (or other types of) components, the output of any one being connected to the input of the next.

For parents

Cascade means: A series of electrical components, the output of any one being connected to the input of the next.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

cascade means: A series of electrical components, the output of any one being connected to the input of the next.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
