Note: this is a generic pattern for creating this cable. For a single cable it would be 6 stitches. In the example shown, there is one repeat of the stitch with 12 stitches are on either side, so you'd need to cast on 30 (12 + 6 + 12) stitches and knit 12 stitches before and after the cable pattern to get a piece like that shown.
