The meaning of some words change dramatically over time.   (For example, the name of this game used to mean something completely different, just a few short years ago.)

Non communication use of Cable?

It is a unit of measure.

The term ‘cable’s length’ is a measure of length used at sea defined as being 200 yards. Used in describing a rope or wire rope used to tow boats.
