What it is

A heavier 1/4" (6.35 mm) TS instrument cable for players who use their cables hard. It has a thicker jacket, a dense braided OFC shield over a conductive layer and heavy metal plugs with an internal cable clamp and spring strain relief. The aim is a cable that copes with being coiled, stepped on and pulled every night, with a conductive layer designed to minimize handling noise when it moves on stage. It comes with straight-to-straight or straight-to-right-angle plugs in 3 m, 6 m and 9 m lengths.

Who it's for

  • Music retailers who want a top-tier private-label cable above their standard and braided lines.
  • Touring and backline rental companies buying house cables in quantity.
  • Studios that want durable cables for shared rooms.

FAQ

How does this cable deal with handling noise?

Two parts of the build. A conductive layer under the shield is designed to minimize the crackle a cable can make when it moves or is stepped on, and a dense braided shield reduces pickup of external interference. Hum from ground loops or noisy power is not something any cable can remove.

How does it compare with your other instrument cables?

It sits above the standard PVC and braided cables: a thicker cable, foamed PE insulation, a denser OFC braid and heavier plugs with an internal cable clamp. Retailers often stock all three as good, better and best tiers.

Do you publish flex-life or pull-test figures?

Only when a test report is available for this design. If you need test data for a tender or retailer listing, ask in your inquiry and we confirm what documentation can be provided.
