    Well two cables is a fifth of a mile, and that means it's a fifth of a minute, and a fifth is quite a lot to drink at once, so I suggest sharing it with a friend.

    Well, it's a collective pain rather than individual pains approached in a plural fashion.

    My grandaughter calls one a clicker thingee. Therefore the plural is clicker thingees.

    I'll go with "cable releasers"

    Or is it like deer, and just remains cable release?

    Or perhaps, since there would be two cables and two releases, cables releases?
