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) ≈ 2432 palms | 4 cable length (imperial) ≈ 9728 palms |
| 1.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 3648 palms | 4.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 10944 palms |
| 2 cable length (imperial) ≈ 4864 palms | 5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 12160 palms |
| 2.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 6080 palms | 5.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 13376 palms |
| 3 cable length (imperial) ≈ 7296 palms | 6 cable length (imperial) ≈ 14592 palms |
The palm is an obsolete anthropic unit of length, originally based on the width of the human palm and then variously standardized. The same name is also used for a second, rather larger unit based on the length of the human hand.
