Cable (cable). A cable is 120 fathoms (219.456 m), a traditional nautical unit of distance.
Typographic point (pt). A typographic point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.3528 mm), used for font sizes.
There are 622,080 typographic points in one cable.
Multiply the number of cables by 622,080. For example, 10 cables equal 6,220,800 typographic points.
One typographic point equals 1.60751 × 10⁻⁶ cables.
7,464,960 typographic points. Other common values: 5 cables = 3,110,400 typographic points and 100 cables = 62,208,000 typographic points.
