English term or phrase: 12 Ft

The Handpiece is attached to the Generator by a 12 ft cable.

Da der Fuß im Deutschen nicht als Längenmaß üblich ist, habe ich hier meine Schwierigkeiten. 12 Fuß entsprechen 3,6576m. Sollte ich da auf 3,5m runden.
Habe das gleiche Problem auch mit 2 Fuß, wobei es hier um den Abstand geht, den man zwischen dem Geräten und den Ohren des Benutzers einhalten sollte. Sollte hier auf 60cm gerundet werden?
Hat irgendjemand Erfahrung?

3,65 m / zirka 3,5 m

Explanation:

...entweder auf 1 cm genau, oder als Zirka-Angabe - ich denke, das ist bei einem Verbindungskabel akzeptabel...

...beim (Sicherheits??-)Abstand zu den Ohren würde ich 61 cm angeben - also eher aufrunden.

Beim Kabel eher abrunden, um nicht mehr anzugeben, als an Länge dann tatsächlich zur Verfügung steht.
