We're very excited about this line of cable. These cables are ideal for pedal steel players connecting from pedal steel to the volume pedal. 3' cable typically with straight to right angle Neutrik Nickel plugs (Neutrik Golds are also available). Colors include red, black, sage, dirty tweed, blue, copper, and mean green.
No, our cables are not directional. If you're purchasing a Snake Head, the Snake Head portion should be on the instrument side, but that only is cosmetic. The cable will work fine if plugged in any direction.
Some of our customers swear by gold contacts. Some of our customers can't hear a difference. Gold does provide a better contact surface, but the signal improvement may be hard to notice. Some of our customers (including myself) just like the cosmetic look of the black shells with gold contacts. If you're in a humid climate and deal with corrosion, gold might be better for you as well.
When people read that, the first assumption is that the copper is somehow 'air tight'. Nope. OFBC is part of the smelting process where the oxygen molecules are smelted out or removed to a point where it's below .001%. This makes a very pure copper allowing for great conductivity.
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.
The weave is a poly-weave, meaning it's a plastic polymer-based weave. We use a variety of brands, but primarily TechFlex. It's designed to be heat and abrasion resistant. It is not a cloth/fabric weave, which tends to fray and stain easily.

Thoughts about our Service:
Shipping was on time, packing was great and Hank is the best!
Every aspect of my experience with Hank and the Rattlesnake crew has been first rate. I was quite surprised that I got a notice that my cable had already been shipped within hours of ordering it. Then I got a personal video message from Hank -- that is taking customer service to a new level! When I received my product, I was again incredibly impressed with the presentation -- the bag it came in, a personal note, stickers, etc. Most importantly, I love the cable. I can see this cable lasting 100,000 concert "road miles." Thanks, Rattlesnake Cables, for a wonderful experience and a tremendous product!

Thoughts about our Service:
The customer service is great! The shipping was so fast! I canāt recommend Rattlesnake cables enough!
Whatās not to like about Rattlesnake cables? They are tough, spool up well for tidy packing, and unfurl beautifully for layout wherever you need them. I have been using Hankās cables since he first developed them and have no desire to use anything else. For me they have the perfect amount of capacitance for great tone and are much mor durable than me!
Thoughts about our Service:
Ridiculously great. I had a great time recently picking my cables up direct from the factory which is conveniently located on a bike path. Hank graciously showed me the new building and their latest products. Thanks buddy, hope to see you again soon!
These cables look and sound amazing. Solidly built and very sturdy.
Thoughts about our Service:
Great customer service. Realized I needed a 90 degree tip instead of straight and sent back the cable to get it changed with no hassle. Fast turnaround.
Hankās cables are just about bullet proof. Superior quality from tip to tip, which are some of the best available! The jacks are almost completely secured from movement with the addition of the heavy duty heat shrink applied, so these suckers should outlast me. Have no doubt that these will give Mogami a run for their money, plus you can support working musicians who developed a cottage industry to fill very specific needs!
Thoughts about our Service:
I have never had a better purchasing experience. I am not a shill, multiple time paying customer here. The personalized notes, messages and packaging, combined with super fast shipping (2 days from Missoula to Memphis) is nothing compared to Hank himself calling immediately after I placed an order but didnāt realize a promotion was afoot. Hank offered to either credit me or add a few extras to make up the difference. Where have you found this level of personal connection and equity anywhere? Completely awesome dude, superior products. Hands down. I will order again and suggest you go ahead and pull the trigger if you are on the fence.
Are you looking for something custom? A set of specific-length patch cables? Or a longer or shorter instrument cable? Maybe you're looking for a limited weave we offered in the past but is no longer available. Shoot us a Custom Build Request, and we'll see what we can do to help!
We understand after placing an order, the excitement starts - and we want to make sure you get your order quickly. From day one, we've pushed to get orders out as quickly as possible. Usually, orders are shipped the next day!
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.
Customer Service
We take customer service very seriously around here. We really appreciate ALL of our customers, and we want every aspect of your buying experience to be a great one. We ensure the buying experience, communication throughout the process, and final delivery of the product are perfect!
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.
U.S. Milled Custom Cable
We take great pride that our custom instrument, XLR, and speaker cables are milled in the United States. All of our milled cables are built to our specifications here in the states and then soldered by hand in Missoula, Montana, by our great team!
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.

I have been so impressed with Hank and the Rattlesnake Cable Company. Not only with the absolutely amazing quality with their products (which are truly really amazing), but with the customer service. You will not find better customer service in the music business, or any other business for that matter. There are cable companies out there that make great cables but I guarantee you won't find a better product than anything RCC makes and you for sure won't find better customer service anywhere. After purchasing a TRS splitter and TRS cable from them I am a customer for life. Any cable I need in the future will FOR SURE be a Rattlesnake. But what truly made me appreciate them was when I enquired about a solution to an odd speaker cable need, instead of giving me an answer that could have easily sold me another Rattlesnake cable Hank gave me the advice to not introduce another cable into the chain and stick with my initial solution. That was what really made me know that not only do they make super solid boutique quality products but they are a company that stands on honesty and hard work and puts the customers needs before their own. Hank, you are a true gentleman and you have earned a customer for life. Thank you sir

Well first of all, I've been dying to purchase cables from Rattlesnake for a long time. Finally I was able to purchase a purple 15' Snakehead with gold jacks (one angled) and one red 15' Snakehead configured the same as my purple cable and I was blown away when the package arrived. Not only did the packaging seem like opening a Christmas present, I was shocked at the presentation of opening the box and all the awesome 'goodies' inside. My first thought was, 'Wow! This is the kind of company I can get behind!' ...and the superior quality of the cables are second to none! There was just that certain killer tone I got from my first gig with my first Rattlesnake Cables. We as musicians know how important it is to have confidence in our gear and Rattlesnake Cables deliver time and time again. Thank you Rattlesnake Cables for making the best cables in the planet!
