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 (imperial) ≈ 1824 hands | 4 cable length (imperial) ≈ 7296 hands |
| 1.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 2736 hands | 4.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 8208 hands |
| 2 cable length (imperial) ≈ 3648 hands | 5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 9120 hands |
| 2.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 4560 hands | 5.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 10032 hands |
| 3 cable length (imperial) ≈ 5472 hands | 6 cable length (imperial) ≈ 10944 hands |
The hand is a non-SI unit of measurement of length standardized to 4 inches (101.6 mm). It is used to measure the height of horses in some English-speaking countries, including Australia, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
