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

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.
Robert A. - It started with "yeah I'll try one out it looks cool." Now I'm slowly replacing all of my cables with a color coded system (easily done thanks to rattlesnake cables awesome colors) using these high quality products. Love em!

Hank and company make the very best cables on the market, hard stop. Without fail, every single purchase I’ve made from Rattlesnake has come with the best in communication and the best turnaround time. The cables themselves should be considered the standard, virtually indestructible and far superior tone. Nothing else even comes close. Do yourself a favor and throw away all your cables, speaker and pedalboard included and replace them now with Rattlesnake Cables. You can thank me later.
