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
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.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...
