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.

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 |
1 ell = 0.0052083 cable length (US) |
1 cable length (US) = 192 ell |
