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) ≈ 3648 sticks | 4 cable length (imperial) ≈ 14592 sticks |
| 1.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 5472 sticks | 4.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 16416 sticks |
| 2 cable length (imperial) ≈ 7296 sticks | 5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 18240 sticks |
| 2.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 9120 sticks | 5.5 cable length (imperial) ≈ 20064 sticks |
| 3 cable length (imperial) ≈ 10944 sticks | 6 cable length (imperial) ≈ 21888 sticks |
In typography, the stick, stickful, or stick of type was an inexact length based on the size of the various composing sticks used by newspaper editors to assemble pieces of moveable type. In English-language papers, it was roughly equal to 2 column inches or 100–150 words. In France, Spain, and Italy, sticks generally contained only between 1 and 4 lines of text each. A column was notionally equal to 10 sticks.
