Instrument Extension Cable

Instrument Extension cables are a great way to extend some length depending on a variety of applications. These can be handy for guitars and basses with recessed jacks or with some wireless transmitter cables where you need some additional length. Maybe you need a longer run from the pedalboard to the amp in a studio or large stage environment?

For our 1-2' lengths, we use our Flex Patch for additional flexibility in the shorter lengths. For lengths 3' and greater, we will use our custom US-milled high-performance instrument cable. The female (extension plug) uses a locking Neutrik female plug that is extremely durable and built to last. Please note that extension cables will not have a weave and are bare PVC. Neutrik NP2X plug options are available for the 1/4" side in nickel or gold.

All instrument extension cables are wired to be mono/unbalanced cables.

Testimonial:

Hands down, these are the best headphone extension cables I've ever purchased, used, or seen. Standard ones often cut out with different headphones in the studio, and I have to stop what I'm doing and spend studio time figuring out if it's just a cable or a bigger issue. Problem solved. Over the course of a year, I think these cables will save me money by not having to buy replacements, and leave my clients happier.

Thoughts about our Service:

Great!

What was purchased:

Headphone extension cables.

What Doug M. Said...


Testimonial:

I'd never given cables much thought but l got a couple rattlesnakes a few years ago and they just looked and felt more substantial than any cables I'd encountered before. A few years and lots of shows later and they still look and feel brand new. I just replaced all my long and patch cables with rattlesnakes and I feel more confident than ever that my shit's not going to short out on stage.

Thoughts about our Service:

Hank has been very nice to me.

What was purchased:

I bought a few different lengthed instrument, patch, and headphone extender cables for my electric and acoustic set ups. I spent a lot of money but I feel like I won’t need to think about replacing cables ever again.

What J G. Said...


Testimonial:

I purchased a headphone cable from Rattlesnake. I made the error of entering in the wrong shipping address and as such the item was stuck in a return process. When I reached out to Rattlesnake they were extremely responsive and got a replacement item out before they had received the return.

Thoughts about our Service:

CS was outstanding. Despite my making the order error, they went ahead and sent a replacement while waiting for USPS to return the item. I'm glad there are still companies who seem to care about customer experience. Thank you!

What was purchased:

Have only ordered a headphone cable. Very impressed by the quality for the price paid. My issue has always been with cheap terminals and the introduction of noise, but so far these are rock solid. Will definitely look here for other cable needs in the future.

What Matt V. Said...


Testimonial:

After searching for a high quality, fairly priced head phone extension cable for a couple weeks online, I finally stumbled upon Rattlesnake Cables. Never having purchased from them before, I started up an online chat on their site and BAM! I was SOLD! The customer service is top notch! I was treated like a rock star from the very first interaction and made to feel like more than just another customer. I received confirmation that my order was being built via a personalized video from Hank, the Owner, himself! And shortly there after my order arrived in the mail. And to no surprise, the unboxing for even just a simple extension cable was great. All this before even plugging the cable in! And once I did, it was awesome. High quality. Durable. Built to my specs. I'm so please with Rattlesnake Cables, I will be a life long friend and customer!

Thoughts about our Service:

My customer service experience was top notch!

Really impressed with not only the quality of the cables, but the top notch service. They are very accomodating and helpful. Have to say the Diamondback snake pattern is my favorite design in cables. US made, as well.

From the 4 cable method loom that Hank made for me to ultra sturdy speaker cables and "cannot believe more people don't use these" snakehead leads, every cable I get from Rattlesnake adds to my piece of mind.
