...Not only is the product perfect, but they gave me better service and communication than I’ve gotten on $5k custom ordered instruments, I’ll never buy cables from anyone else, honestly.... — Dan S
The Rattlesnake Standard Instrument Cable comes in 10', 15' and 20' lengths. Each cable can have a straight, right angle, or a mix of Neutrik Nickel plugs (Neutrik Golds are also available). Colors include red, black, sage, dirty tweed, blue, copper, and mean green. Each cable is fully wrapped in heat and abrasion-resistant outer sleeving from plug end to plug end.
Our Standard Instrument Cable is a great cable to run between your pedalboard and amp or between your guitar/bass and pedalboard or amp. If you're concerned about the finish of your instrument, take a look at our Snake Head Instrument cable!
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.
The Snake Head is only needed if you're concerned about finish wear if you have vintage or sensitive finishes like thin nitro, etc. If you don't care (or even want the wear) a Standard is great for the primary instrument cable. If this cable is going from pedalboard to amp, then it should be a Standard to ensure maximum protection of the cable.
A silent plug is not necessarily an "upgrade". Typically, a silent plug is for acoustic players who do not have the ability to mute their signal and would unplug their instrument. If you're an electric player with a Tuner or Volume pedal, then you don't really need a silent plug. Silent plugs are great, but they do provide another potential point of failure - so I always recommend, if you don't need the feature, purchase a standard plug.
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.
Mike L. - I bought one cable to check it out. I couldn't have loved it more. They're super heavy duty, but not awkward, and the colors are fun. They feel like they'll last through a few accidental chair legs sitting on the cable. The ends are solid, no loose... Read More

I bought one cable to check it out. I couldn't have loved it more. They're super heavy duty, but not awkward, and the colors are fun. They feel like they'll last through a few accidental chair legs sitting on the cable. The ends are solid, no loose sleeves coming undone constantly. The super personal customer service is a nice bonus. It couldn't make up for sub-par cables, but luckily it's icing on a delicious cable cake!
Thoughts about our Service:
What everyone says is true, they seem like great people making a great product (watch the video). I haven't needed any warranty service, but I imagine it will be in line (if I ever need it!) with the rest of the service. Thanks Rattlesnake!

Thoughts about our Service:
10/10. Personal attention to detail like this isn’t something I expect from other big musician supply retailers.
I love my Rattlesnake light purple weave 20' standard cable! These cables scream high quality, very beefy, well finished at each plug end. Should last a lifetime. Looks and sounds great. The entire buying experience was smooth. Light purple wasn't listed as an option, so I emailed to ask. Hank and the team told me that some light purple was available and sent me a link to order it. Shipping was fast and the cable arrived in a really nice cloth bag with some goodies.
Thoughts about our Service:
Outstanding customer service with great attention to detail, efficiency and speed. Rattlesnake Cables made it easy!
What was purchased:
20' Light Purple Weave instrument cable with Neutrik nickel plugs (one straight, one 90 degree).
