The shape which a cable takes hanging freely under UDL per meter run will be parabolic.

Catenary, in mathematics, a curve that describes the shape of a flexible hanging chain or cable"the name derives from the Latin catenaria ("chain"). Any freely hanging cable or string assumes this shape, also called a chainette, if the body is of uniform mass per unit of length and is acted upon solely by gravity.
