What it is
A 1/4" (6.35 mm) TS instrument cable with a nylon textile braid over a PVC inner jacket, built to a 7.0 mm outer diameter. It carries a mono, unbalanced signal from a guitar, bass or keyboard to an amp, pedalboard or DI box. Stock lengths are 3 m, 6 m and 7.6 m, so the range reaches the longer runs that players use on stage, with straight or right-angle plugs on one end.
The nylon braid has a smoother, slightly glossy look compared with a polyester braid, and the thicker build gives the cable more body in the hand. Brands use it as the step-up line above a standard braided cable: same plug type and signal, a different look and feel, and packaging that is ready for retail.
Who it's for
- DTC and accessory brands building a two-tier cable range, with this cable as the step-up option.
- Music retailers who want a private-label stage cable in 6 m and 7.6 m lengths.
- Gift and bundle sellers who need a cable that ships in a box rather than a bag.

- Conductive PVC layer under the shield, designed to minimize handling noise when the cable moves

FAQ
How is this cable different from your polyester-braided instrument cable?
Both are mono, unbalanced 1/4" TS cables with a 20 AWG OFC conductor. This version has a nylon braid instead of polyester, a thicker 7.0 mm build instead of 6.5 mm, an OFC braided shield, a metal collet strain relief inside each plug, a 7.6 m stage length, and a kraft box as standard packing. Many brands list the polyester version as the entry cable and this one as the step-up.
Is a 7.6 m (25 ft) instrument cable too long for a guitar?
Every unbalanced instrument cable adds capacitance as it gets longer, and with passive pickups this can soften the high end. Players who use a buffered pedal or an active instrument notice it less. We do not publish a capacitance figure for this cable. If your range needs one, we can arrange a measurement on your sample and confirm it in writing at order.
Can the plug housings match a gold or black hardware theme?
Yes. The standard housing finish is nickel. Black chrome and gold finishes are available as a customization, and a laser-engraved logo can be added on any finish. We approve the logo position and contrast on a sample before production.
