OK,

Thats as close as the solvers could get, with a resulting tension of 11.55k in the Cable, which is not too bad for design.

If I iterate around the solution above little by hand, pertty easily I get: L=1931.794m, and a cable tension of 11.005k.

(just to be difficlult, 2000m is a round number, but 6561.68 ft is not)

Inputting the corresponding values into your program, they are in agreement,

I think about this task when I see this picture:

How about half of 2243m then?

Maybe a little more information is required. When talking about the breaking load of the chain, wouldn't the mode of failure usually be tension. Or are you talking about failure at the connections?
