Is it time to move away from solderless patch cables for your pedalboard and focus on durability?
When flexibility is essential and getting into tight spaces on your pedalboard, we are offering the Flex Patch Cable! We feel this is one of the best guitar patch cables on the market. If you're looking for durability in a soldered patch cable, look no further!
This cable is our new patch cable with Bare Copper 20AWG conductor and Bare Copper spiral shielding with 98% coverage and smaller diameter than our instrument cables (.230"). The Flex Patch comes Rattlesnake RCC Star Audio Pancake plugs with gold signal contacts. We prefer the Rattlesnake RCC Star Pancake plug due to their low profile, but mainly because of their signal/shield lug contacts!
The Flex Patch will come in the following lengths - 6", 8" and 10". Our Flex Patch has a flat price of $10 for each of the 3 lengths. But any cable length can be made, and we will adjust the price accordingly. If you're looking for custom guitar patch cables for your pedalboard, submit a custom build request. You can upgrade to G&H GGN Right Angle or G&H Stubby Straight plugs as well!
Please note, Rattlesnake RCC Star pancakes are great for pedals placed close together - side by side. The pancakes offer a shallow height profile but a more prominent profile in width. Because of this, if you have jacks close together (for example - stereo outs on a pedal or loop strips), you may need to go with a G&H Right Angle to get plugs closer together. The G&H Stubby Straight is great for pedal loop strip systems. You can also mix G&H Right Angle, Stubby Straights, and Rattlesnake RCC Star Pancake - select the appropriate plug before adding them to your cart!
Conductor/Shield 99.99% BC
Capacitance at 37pF/ft.
Spiral copper shield (98% coverage)
20AWG conductor.
Rattlesnake RCC Star Pancakes - Nickel Shield / Gold Tip
We have a variety of wire mills that we work with. All of the wire mills we work with our in the United States. We take extreme pride that our cable is milled in the United States and hand assembled here in Missoula, Montana.
That's largely dependent on the application and requirements. Pancakes will give you a lower profile in height, but has a larger footprint on width (.82" wide). Some pedals with narrow jack placement can have issues with pancakes. The G&H right angle has a narrow profile in width (.50"), but is taller than a pancake.
Stubby straights are great for switching systems or with pedals that have narrow jack placement. The Stubby Straight has a shorter barrel (1.05") length.
U-Config is the default standard where plugs are facing the same direction. This is ideal for pedals next to each other with jacks on the side. If you have a situation where one pedal has side jacks and the pedal next to it has top mounted jacks - the S-Config fits great. Also, if you require a long patch from one pedal on a bottom row to a pedal on the top row on the opposite side, a S-Config would work great.
We offer the most popular lengths for the type of patch cables. If you need something special, please submit a custom build request and we'll get back to you with the ability to purchase your specific cables.

I could go over how everything I've used, from the instrument cables (don't sleep on the snake head), speaker cable, patches, and line buffer (AMAZING) have been everything from solidly constructed, top tier quality, and snazzy to boot. That said, I spent a week halfway across the country and was in a shop, and sure enough, they were carrying Rattlesnake too. It's not just me - the cat's out of the bag. You want these cables. The amount of customization not only is awesome to have, but just the ability really made me reconsider my board layout and helps not only with efficiency but also eliminates one more step in ensuring you're getting the tone you want out there.
Did I say anything about the best customer service I've experienced in the industry? Guess I did now.
Everything is solid, from the high-quality products to the dynamite super, friendly service! There is no reason to shop anywhere else! I literally told my musician friends how nice Hank is!

Thoughts about our Service:
Hank is THE. BEST. He always responds quickly, answers all your questions & gets your build quote back to you fast. Almost all my cables are custom builds & Hank is always on the ball. When he found out my wireless cable wasn't working, he called me personally to work out the issue & get me a new cable ASAP.

Lifetime Warranty
We will absolutely take care of you if you run into any issues with your cable. We do our best to prevent issues and understand life on stages and on the road can be hard on the cables. We've been there, and we'll definitely treat you right if you have any issues.
We Are Musicians
We are musicians. What does that mean? We know what it feels like when gear fails on stage. We hate that feeling, and we think about that with every build. As musicians, we also know how hard the road can be on gear and focus on making it stand the abuse.
Family-Owned Business
Rattlesnake Cable Company started with a simple idea by me - Hank. It quickly encapsulated my entire family, from my kids to my wife, Amy. Now, Amy and I are 100% committed to the success of the business and love that it has grown into a fantastic team moving forward.

The customer service and communication was superior to most companies. They kept me informed about the product throughout the process. As for the product, it is the best guitar cord I have owned in more than 30 years of playing. The materials and construction are apparent immediately, when you see and hold the product. The cable performed exceptionally well, nothing but clean, clear sound. No interference, static or unwanted noise. This cable is a game changer!
