A cable length or length of cable is a nautical unit of measure equal to one tenth of a nautical mile or approximately 100 fathoms. The unit is named after the length of a ship's anchor cable in the Age of Sail. The definition varies:
| 1 cable length (International) = 101.26859142607 fathoms | 4 cable length (International) = 405.07436570429 fathoms |
| 1.5 cable length (International) = 151.90288713911 fathoms | 4.5 cable length (International) = 455.70866141732 fathoms |
| 2 cable length (International) = 202.53718285214 fathoms | 5 cable length (International) = 506.34295713036 fathoms |
| 2.5 cable length (International) = 253.17147856518 fathoms | 5.5 cable length (International) = 556.97725284339 fathoms |
| 3 cable length (International) = 303.80577427822 fathoms | 6 cable length (International) = 607.61154855643 fathoms |
A fathom is a unit of length in the imperial and the U.S. customary systems equal to 6 feet (1.8288 metres), used especially for measuring the depth of water.
There are two yards (6 feet) in an imperial fathom. Originally the span of a man's outstretched arms, the size of a fathom has varied slightly depending on whether it was defined as a thousandth of an (Admiralty) nautical mile or as a multiple of the imperial yard. Formerly, the term was used for any of several units of length varying around 5–5 1⁄2 feet.
