Answer
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.Answer
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.Answer
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.Answer
Our primary instrument, speaker, XLR, TRS, and Flex patch cables are built using Rattlesnake-brand bulk cable that is custom manufactured for us in the United States. We developed the specifications for each cable based on the flexibility, durability, handling, and electrical performance we wanted. It is not off-the-shelf Belden, Mogami, Canare, or another manufacturer’s finished cable covered with an outer weave.After the bulk cable is manufactured to our specifications, every finished cable is cut, sleeved, soldered, tested, and packaged by our team in Missoula, Montana.
Some specialized products use third-party bulk cable when it is the best fit for that application. When they do, we identify the cable manufacturer and model in the product’s Specifications tab.
Complete construction and electrical details, including conductor material, wire gauge, capacitance, shielding, and cable diameter, are provided in the Specifications section of each applicable product page.
Answer
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.
Ben E. - Rattlesnake cables are the best I have ever bought. They look good and built like a tank. I play pedal steel and when I want that bell like clear sound Rattlesnake delivers.

Gibson H. - 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...

Jason B. - 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...

They use high end materials to deliver a high end product. I will be buying more form them as my needs arise. I will be building a new studio next year. I will definitely be running with Rattlesnake.

I’ve trusted Rattlesnake cables for over 10 years. My original cable has always been my “known good” cable whenever I needed to troubleshoot or eliminate variables in my rig. Recently, they helped me customize an extended right-angle cable for my Dingwall bass, and the customer service was every bit as impressive as the product. The cable is incredibly quiet, built to last, and now works perfectly with my Dingwall and Spector. When a piece of gear earns your trust, it becomes part of your musical journey. Highly recommended.
