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 (US) = 192 ell | 4 cable length (US) = 768 ell |
| 1.5 cable length (US) = 288 ell | 4.5 cable length (US) = 864 ell |
| 2 cable length (US) = 384 ell | 5 cable length (US) = 960 ell |
| 2.5 cable length (US) = 480 ell | 5.5 cable length (US) = 1056 ell |
| 3 cable length (US) = 576 ell | 6 cable length (US) = 1152 ell |
An ell (from Proto-Germanic *alinō, cognate with Latin ulna) is a unit of measurement, originally a cubit, i.e., approximating the length of a man's arm from the elbow ("elbow" means the bend or bow of the ell or arm) to the tip of the middle finger, or about 18 inches (457 mm); in later usage, any of several longer units.
| 1 ell = 0.0052083333333333 cable length (US) | 4 ell = 0.020833333333333 cable length (US) |
| 1.5 ell = 0.0078125 cable length (US) | 4.5 ell = 0.0234375 cable length (US) |
| 2 ell = 0.010416666666667 cable length (US) | 5 ell = 0.026041666666667 cable length (US) |
| 2.5 ell = 0.013020833333333 cable length (US) | 5.5 ell = 0.028645833333333 cable length (US) |
| 3 ell = 0.015625 cable length (US) | 6 ell = 0.03125 cable length (US) |
| 1 cable length (US) = 192 ell |
