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:
Name of unit | Symbol | Definition | Relation to SI units | Unit System |

cable length (imperial) | ≡ 608 ft | ≈ 185.3184 m | Imperial/US |
cable length (imperial) | inches | cable length (imperial) | inches |
---|---|---|---|
1 | ≈ 7296 | 4 | ≈ 29184 |

2.5 | ≈ 18240 | 5.5 | ≈ 40128 |
3 | ≈ 21888 | 6 | ≈ 43776 |
The inch (abbreviation: in or ″) is a unit of length in the (British) imperial and United States customary systems of measurement now formally equal to 1⁄36 yard but usually understood as 1⁄12 of a foot. Derived from the Roman uncia ("twelfth"), inch is also sometimes used to translate related units in other measurement systems, usually understood as deriving from the width of the human thumb.
