What it is
A 1/4" (6.35 mm) TS instrument cable with a textile braided jacket over a PVC inner jacket. It carries a mono, unbalanced signal from a guitar, bass or keyboard to an amp, pedalboard or DI box. One product covers two plug layouts — straight to straight, and straight to right-angle — in three standard lengths and four stock colorways, so you can build a full range from one listing.
The braided jacket is the visible part of your brand. It is where a cable line stops looking like every other black cable on the shelf, which is why most of the customization on this product happens in the braid, on the plug housing and in the packaging.
Who it's for
- DTC and accessory brands launching a cable line in their own colors, with a logo on the plug.
- Music retailers adding a private-label braided cable next to their standard PVC range.
- Marketplace sellers who need retail packaging and barcode labels applied before the goods ship.
Build & specs (standard build)
- Conductive PVC layer under the shield, designed to minimize handling noise when the cable moves
- Jacket: PVC inner jacket with a polyester textile braid, about 6.5 mm outer diameter
- Plugs: 1/4" TS male, zinc-alloy housings with black chrome finish, gold-plated brass contacts, spring strain relief, soldered
- Lengths: 3 m (9.8 ft), 4.5 m (14.8 ft), 6 m (19.7 ft), measured tip to tip
This is an unbalanced instrument cable. It is not a speaker cable; do not use it between a power amplifier and a speaker cabinet.
Customization options
- Laser-engraved logo on the plug housings
- Custom braid colors and patterns, matched to your Pantone reference
- Lengths from 0.5 m to 10 m; straight or right-angle plugs on either end

FAQ
What is the difference between the straight and right-angle plug versions?
A right-angle plug sits close to the instrument body and puts less strain on the jack when the cable hangs down, so it suits guitars with front-mounted jacks. Straight plugs suit side- or end-mounted jacks, amps and pedals. Both versions use the same cable.
Can I use this cable for stereo or balanced signals?
No. This is a mono, unbalanced TS cable with one conductor and a shield. For balanced or stereo signals, use a TRS or XLR cable such as our Balanced 1/4" TRS to TRS Cable.
Can the braid match our brand colors?
Yes. The stock colorways are Black, Black/Red, Black/White and Tweed. Custom braid colors and patterns are matched to your Pantone reference or a physical sample, have their own minimum per colorway, and you approve a braid swatch before production.
What lengths are available?
Stock lengths are 3 m (9.8 ft), 4.5 m (14.8 ft), and 6 m (19.7 ft), measured tip to tip, with a tolerance of ±2% over 1 m. Custom lengths from 0.5 m to 10 m are available, with straight or right-angle plugs on either end.
How is our logo applied, and how is the cable packed?
The usual method is a laser-engraved logo on the zinc-alloy plug housings, which have a black chrome finish as standard; nickel and gold finishes are available. Each cable ships in a polybag with a hook-and-loop tie, and branded ties, header cards, retail boxes, and barcode labels can be added.
