Battery Cable Length

When a store lists a battery cable (complete with ends on) as, say, 21", does that mean it is 21" of cable or 21" from end to end?

Question Unsure

The last ones I bought were the 2 gauge versions from Advance. They came folded up in a blister pack, so it was a bit difficult to get them straight and measure them accurately. My impression was that it was no worse than terminal hole to terminal hole. It may have been cable length only. I bought them by vehicle application rather than length. There was plenty of length for what was needed. They are made in China. The quality was good. The price was good. All manufacturers may not use the same procedure.
