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) = 3840 nails (cloth) | 4 cable length (US) = 15360 nails (cloth) |
| 1.5 cable length (US) = 5760 nails (cloth) | 4.5 cable length (US) = 17280 nails (cloth) |
| 2 cable length (US) = 7680 nails (cloth) | 5 cable length (US) = 19200 nails (cloth) |
| 2.5 cable length (US) = 9600 nails (cloth) | 5.5 cable length (US) = 21120 nails (cloth) |
| 3 cable length (US) = 11520 nails (cloth) | 6 cable length (US) = 23040 nails (cloth) |
A nail, as a unit of cloth measurement, is generally a sixteenth of a yard or 2 1/4 inches (5.715 cm). The nail was apparently named after the practice of hammering brass nails into the counter at shops where cloth was sold.
