Long line of cars? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'long line' is the definition.
'cable' can be an answer for 'line' (I have seen 'Strong line' mean 'cable' so perhaps 'line' could also mean 'cable'). I am not sure about the 'long' bit.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cable that I've seen before include "Wire, flex" , "Satellite alternative?" , "Naut. length; transmit" , "Strong suspension bridge made of wire" , "Rope for communication" .)
