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) = 36 ropes | 4 cable length (US) = 144 ropes |
| 1.5 cable length (US) = 54 ropes | 4.5 cable length (US) = 162 ropes |
| 2 cable length (US) = 72 ropes | 5 cable length (US) = 180 ropes |
| 2.5 cable length (US) = 90 ropes | 5.5 cable length (US) = 198 ropes |
| 3 cable length (US) = 108 ropes | 6 cable length (US) = 216 ropes |
A rope may refer to any of several units of measurement initially determined or formed by ropes or knotted cords.
| 1 ropes = 0.027777777777778 cable length (US) | 4 ropes = 0.11111111111111 cable length (US) |
| 1.5 ropes = 0.041666666666667 cable length (US) | 4.5 ropes = 0.125 cable length (US) |
| 2 ropes = 0.055555555555556 cable length (US) | 5 ropes = 0.13888888888889 cable length (US) |
| 2.5 ropes = 0.069444444444444 cable length (US) | 5.5 ropes = 0.15277777777778 cable length (US) |
| 3 ropes = 0.083333333333333 cable length (US) | 6 ropes = 0.16666666666667 cable length (US) |
| 1 cable length (US) = 36 ropes |
| 1 ropes = 0.0277778 cable length (US) |
