You want this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Install-Bay-Split-Loom-Inch/dp/B005V9U... Of course they chew through that too, but it takes them just long enough that you can move the cable/distract them before they get to the cable itself.
Also, our rabbit tends to ignore cables that are flat along the ground. Only diagonal ones that cross her path ever seem to draw her attention.
Rabbits, properly cared for (i.e., kept indoors with space to run and unlimited hay), live 7 years.
Split loom shielding is a cheap and effective way to protect cables: https://www.amazon.com/Install-Bay-Split-Loom-Inch/dp/B005V9...
Depends on the rabbit. Our (thinly upholstered) couch has two bite holes in its corner, but the rest of our furniture is quite intact. They're much more likely to chew things on the floor like rugs or cables, and then only if they're "in the way".
Bitter apple spray works well to keep them from chewing carpets and rugs: https://www.amazon.com/Grannick-Bitter-Apple-Ferrets-small-a... and split-loom shielding protects cables: https://www.amazon.com/Install-Bay-Split-Loom-Inch/dp/B005V9...
Beside "housekeeping", rabbits chew to keep their teeth short. Apple twigs and compressed hay cubes work great to meet this need and prevents them from seeking other things to chew.
Rabbits live around seven years, properly cared for. Ours is in her fifth year.
