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.

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 can’t recommend Rattlesnake cables enough!
What’s 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 Hank’s 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.
Hank’s 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 didn’t 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.

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.
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!
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 cables are amazing! Durable and stylish and they sound oh so great with no high end roll-off or other capacitance issues. The construction is super solid too. I’ve been using a couple 10’ cables for a year or so now and also recently purchased a junction box.

I first heard about Rattlesnake cables through an acoustic Facebook group I'm in. I needed a couple of cables so I decided to check them out. I liked the products I saw, and many of the folks in the group had good things to say about the company, so I jumped on two 15' standard cables. I looked over the website and saw that they're a small company, and just figured I'd hear from them in about a week or so. To my huge surprise, that evening I got an email from Hank at Rattlesnake who said he was beginning on my order. The next morning, I got a very nice VIDEO message from Hank thanking me for the order, and saying it was shipping THAT DAY. Wow! It arrived within a few days, and was perfect for my needs. The cables are solidly built and I expect I'll get many years of good use from them. I liked them so much I even bought another - and had the same fantastic experience with the purchase... quick response, and fast delivery to my home. Thank you, Rattlesnake Cables! I will most definitely be returning!
