What is the length of a true wire?

[JanMasterson]

a french torp L5mod 2 (for SSN)'s wire is about 13.5nm long and a M48 ADCAP 's wire is about 21.6nm long.

Do someone have figures for other nations?

What about UK and Russia?

Maybe its a stupid question, but how thick is the wire ?
Having 10nm of wire onboard must take some space no ?
An what about the torpedo, how much part of the torpedo is dedicated to carrying the other 10nm of wire ?

from my source a wire isn't larger than an hair, more or less like optical fiber i guess.

In a Discovery document about SSN, we can see a torpedo man showing the wire, I will try to extract the scen or make image from the show.
