We study the asymptotic behavior of the N-dimensional colored Jones polynomial of a cable of the figure-eight knot, evaluated at exp(ξ/N) for a real number ξ. We show that if ξ is sufficiently large, the colored Jones polynomial grows exponentially when N goes to the infinity. Moreover the growth rate is related to the Chern-Simons invariant of the knot exterior associated with an SL(2;ℝ) representation.
