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) ≈ 0.11515151515152 metric miles | 4 cable length (imperial) ≈ 0.46060606060606 metric miles |
| 1.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 0.17272727272727 metric miles | 4.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 0.51818181818182 metric miles |
| 2 cable length (imperial) ≈ 0.23030303030303 metric miles | 5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 0.57575757575758 metric miles |
| 2.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 0.28787878787879 metric miles | 5.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 0.63333333333333 metric miles |
| 3 cable length (imperial) ≈ 0.34545454545455 metric miles | 6 cable length (imperial) ≈ 0.69090909090909 metric miles |
A metric mile is a distance which approximates one statute mile (1609.344 m) at a round figure of metres (the SI or metric unit of length). The term is most commonly used in track running and swimming.
In track running, the 1500 m race became the standard middle distance race in Europe in the late 19th century, and has been the standard distance in the Olympic Games since 1896. The distance of the race is sometimes referred to as a metric mile.
