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) ≡ 0.1 nautical miles | 4 cable length (International) ≡ 0.4 nautical miles |
| 1.5 cable length (International) ≡ 0.15 nautical miles | 4.5 cable length (International) ≡ 0.45 nautical miles |
| 2 cable length (International) ≡ 0.2 nautical miles | 5 cable length (International) ≡ 0.5 nautical miles |
| 2.5 cable length (International) ≡ 0.25 nautical miles | 5.5 cable length (International) ≡ 0.55 nautical miles |
| 3 cable length (International) ≡ 0.3 nautical miles | 6 cable length (International) ≡ 0.6 nautical miles |
A nautical mile is a unit of measurement defined as exactly 1852 meters (about 6,076.1 feet or 1.1508 statute miles). Historically, it was defined as one minute of latitude, which is equivalent to one sixtieth of a degree of latitude.
| 1 nautical miles ≡ 10 cable length (International) | 4 nautical miles ≡ 40 cable length (International) |
| 1.5 nautical miles ≡ 15 cable length (International) | 4.5 nautical miles ≡ 45 cable length (International) |
| 2 nautical miles ≡ 20 cable length (International) | 5 nautical miles ≡ 50 cable length (International) |
| 2.5 nautical miles ≡ 25 cable length (International) | 5.5 nautical miles ≡ 55 cable length (International) |
| 3 nautical miles ≡ 30 cable length (International) | 6 nautical miles ≡ 60 cable length (International) |
| 1 cable length (International) ≡ 0.1 nautical miles |
| 1 nautical miles ≡ 10 cable length (International) |
