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) = 2880 palms | 4 cable length (US) = 11520 palms |
| 1.5 cable length (US) = 4320 palms | 4.5 cable length (US) = 12960 palms |
| 2 cable length (US) = 5760 palms | 5 cable length (US) = 14400 palms |
| 2.5 cable length (US) = 7200 palms | 5.5 cable length (US) = 15840 palms |
| 3 cable length (US) = 8640 palms | 6 cable length (US) = 17280 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.
