Our TRS Cable is a dual conductor cable with the same outside diameter as our standard instrument cable. Our custom, US milled TRS cables use Neutrik Gold TRS plugs. If you're looking for the best TRS cable for your instrument or studio needs, look no further.

If you're wanting a custom TRS cable (length, plug configuration, etc) or TRS patch cables - they are available, but you will need to submit a custom request

What does TRS stand for?

TRS is an acronym that stands for Tip, Ring, and Sleeve - which reference the conductors of the plug. With each TRS cable, a 20AWG conductor would be connecting to the tip contact of the plug, a conductor on the ring contact of the plug, and the internal braided copper shield is bound to the plug's shield.

What is a TRS Cable?

A TRS instrument cable is a simple cable containing two internal conductors and a shield. Standard instrument cables use a single conductor and shield. The purpose of this type of cable is to pass a pair of signals instead of a single signal.

For example a TRS cable could be used as a stereo cable passing left and right signals in a single cable – like an auxiliary cable or headphone extension cable. A TRS cable for guitar could be used to pass multiple pickup sources (piezo and magnetic pickup) down a single cable. A TRS audio cable could also be used as an XLR or balanced cable used in many recording interfaces.

If you’re in need of different plug configurations like a TRS to XLR cable, view our page on balanced monitor cables.

  • Conductor/Shield 99.95% BC
  • Braided copper shield (95% coverage)
  • Pair of 20AWG stranded conductors
  • Capacitance 37pF/Foot nominal
  • Cable milled in the United States
  • Hand-assembled in Missoula, Montana
  • SKU: SKU-BA5FC24A

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
It depends on the signal being passed down the TRS. A balanced signal is a pair of the exact same signal but with one signal inverted (180 degrees out of phase) relative to the other. Where a stereo signal is not equal - one represents the right side of the stereo field, and the other line is the left.
Answer
It depends on the signal being passed down the TRS. If it's a stereo signal (left and right like in headphones), then it's basically an unbalanced stereo going down the wires. It would not be a balanced cable in this case but a stereo cable.
Answer
Typically, for an instrument cable, you should be using a mono / unbalanced instrument cable, but some instruments have additional lines for different pickups where both pickups are separated but going down a single cable. Some Rickenbacker instruments, acoustic guitars, etc, use this - and in that case, you should use a TRS cable. 99% of the time, you should be using a Standard Instrument cable unless otherwise noted.
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.

Ordering was straight forward, communication was absolutely above and beyond, I was immediately notified that they started building my order a few minutes after placing it, I was notified when they finished and packaged it shortly after, and they shipped it immediately after that, and it got to me in a couple days. One of, if not, the most well packaged parcel I've ever recieved. The cable I received is exceptional, it's sturdy but flexible, looks great, the plugs are solidly and cleanly attached. Much more room in the treble range, and the bass range is way cleaner from the improvement of capacitance coming from the standard cables I was using before. I 10/10 recommend Rattlesnake Cables, and fully intend on converting all of my cables to theirs.

I found my first Rattlesnake instrument cable at a small shop in Orange County, Ca while visiting the area. I was impressed with the build quality and look. I opted for the copper weave. When I got home I showed it to another guitar player friend of mine and he immediately ordered a couple of his own. After several months of using it, I decided to order an XLR in copper to match. Ordering was easy on the website and I was informed each step with a confirmation, build, and shipping. When it arrived I was surprised to see an instrument cable as well. Then I saw the hand written "Thank you" note also stating that I won the daily giveaway! Amazing! Thank you for these great cables that I know I can rely on again and again!
