About Braided Instrument Cables

Braided instrument cables put a textile braid over the PVC inner jacket, which makes them the easiest way to give a cable line its own look. The typical build is a 20 AWG oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductor with PE insulation, a conductive layer designed to minimize handling noise, a braided copper shield, and 1/4" (6.35 mm) TS plugs with zinc-alloy housings and gold-plated contacts. Stock lengths run from 3 m to 7.6 m, depending on the model, with straight or right-angle plugs.

Most customization happens where buyers see it: braid colors and patterns, a laser-engraved logo on the plug housings, branded hook-and-loop ties, header cards, and retail boxes with your barcodes. Order a sample of a stock colorway, then approve a braid swatch before production. MOQ is low.
