The cable attached to an anchor is typically referred to as the "anchor line" or "anchor rode." This line can be made of various materials, such as rope or chain, and is used to connect the anchor to the vessel, allowing for secure anchoring in the water. The choice of material and type can depend on factors like the weight of the vessel and the seabed conditions.

The hole that an anchor rope goes through?
On ships, the anchor cable is stowed in what is known as the cable locker. The inboard end of the cable is fastened to a deck-plate at the bottom of the cable locker. The outboard end of the cable is fed up through a hause pipe and over a windless or capstan. The capstan is used to maneuver the cable from the cable locker and out through the hause pipe which is situated in the eyes of the ship. On the outboard end of the cable is fastened the ship's anchor. Each ship is fitted with two anchors; a port anchor and a starboard anchor.Most landsmen think that it is the anchor that holds the ship in place while a ship is at anchor. This is incorrect; it is actually the weight of the anchor cable ranged over the anchorage (sea bottom) which holds the ship to the bottom. The anchor flukes dig into the sea bottom to maintain a fixed point so that as the ship passes over it and continues on her track, the cable is ranged along the ship's track to a predetermined point (depending on the depth of the anchorage). When a sufficient amount of cable has been paid out, the brake on the capstan is engaged and the ship swings to her anchor and settles down.
