Cable (cable). A cable is 120 fathoms (219.456 m), a traditional nautical unit of distance.
Fathom (ftm). A fathom is 6 feet (1.8288 m), traditionally used to measure the depth of water.
There are 120 fathoms in one cable.
Multiply the number of cables by 120. For example, 10 cables equal 1,200 fathoms.
One fathom equals 0.00833333 cables.
1,440 fathoms. Other common values: 5 cables = 600 fathoms and 100 cables = 12,000 fathoms.
