About Guitar and Instrument Cables
Instrument cables carry the mono, unbalanced signal from a guitar, bass, or keyboard to an amp, pedalboard, or DI box. Every cable in this category uses 1/4" (6.35 mm) TS plugs on a single shielded conductor. Typical builds have a 20–22 AWG oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductor, PE insulation, a braided or spiral copper shield, and a PVC or textile-braided jacket, in lengths from 3 m to 9 m.
