What it is
A short patch cable with flat right-angle "pancake" 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS plugs on both ends. It has two conductors and a shield, wired straight through: Tip to Tip, Ring to Ring and Sleeve to Sleeve. That makes it the cable for the TRS jacks on a pedalboard, such as expression pedal inputs, TRS MIDI ports, dual footswitch inputs and pedals that take a stereo signal through one jack. Three lengths, 15 cm, 30 cm and 60 cm, cover the gap between neighboring pedals and the longer run from an expression pedal to the pedal it controls.
A standard pancake patch cable is TS, with one conductor, and does not connect the ring. When a TS cable is used on a TRS control jack, the pedal either does not respond or behaves in an unexpected way. A dedicated TRS pancake cable in the same flat format solves this without a tall plug sticking up from the board.
Who it's for
- Pedal and controller brands that ship expression or MIDI-capable pedals and want a matching branded cable.
- Retailers adding TRS cables to a pancake patch cable section, sold singly or in pairs.
- Pedalboard builders who wire complete boards with expression pedals and MIDI controllers.

FAQ
When do I need a TRS patch cable instead of a TS patch cable?
Use TRS when the jack on the pedal is a TRS jack that uses the ring: expression pedal inputs, TRS MIDI ports, dual footswitch inputs and pedals that take stereo through a single jack. For a normal mono audio link between two pedals, a TS patch cable is the usual choice.
Does this cable work for TRS MIDI Type A and Type B?
Yes, as long as both devices use the same type. The cable is wired straight through, Tip to Tip and Ring to Ring, so it passes either type unchanged. It does not convert between Type A and Type B. For that, we can make a version with Tip and Ring swapped, marked on the cable, or you can use a converter.
Is a pancake TRS plug as thin as a pancake TS plug?
The housing style is the same flat right-angle shape. The plug profile height and the closest jack spacing two plugs can share are measured on your sample and written into your specification, so you can check the fit with your pedals before production.
