| 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 |
| 1 palms = 0.0003472 cable length (US) |
| 1 cable length (US) = 2 880 palms |
