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.

  • Pair of 20AWG stranded conductors
  • Capacitance 37pF/Foot nominal

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
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.

What Brad S. Said...


Testimonial:

I bought a Rickenbacker 4003 brand new back in 1983 and never made use of the Rick-O-Sound unit. After having the pickups and output jacks restored after years of touring, I finally pulled the trigger. What a difference having that flexibility and the range of tonal options available after making use of that TRS jack. Why didn't I do this sooner? Probably when I was young I didn't know what I was doing so that's a start. No time like the present. The Rattlesnake TRS box is a tank and the braided TRS cable I purchased is phenomenal. Thank you for creating such extraordinary products.

What Roger D. Said...


Testimonial:

I just received my parcel from the folks at Rattlesnake. Delivery took a little while due to customs clearance as I live in Canada. Everything arrived safe and sound. The cables are what I would call heavy duty. The look to be extremely well made. So too is the splitter box which works great. I will be ordering more cables soon to replace my other cables: I love them and I think they will last a very, very long time. Do not hesitate for a second if you're unsure about ordering the stereo splitter or any cables for stage or studio work , I can't imagine anyone being less than impressed with Rattlesnake gear. The personalized email and hand written note that I received from Hank and the team was a nice touch too. Roger Dawson .

Thoughts about our Service:

I received timely emails from Rattlesnake about my purchase and letting me know that my parcel was en-route. The cables and splitter came nicely packaged in canvas bags plus they sent a rattlesnake sticker which is now stuck onto one of my Boogie bass cabs. Who doesn't love a cool sticker?

What was purchased:

1 x 1/4 inch stereo cable with 1 L jack
1 x 1/4 inch speaker cable
1 x stereo splitter box

Just received my first order from Rattlesnake Cable Company! They came very quickly, and the presentation of the order exceeded my expectations.

What Michael L. Said...


Testimonial:

I absolutely love my Rattlesnake cables. I purchased two TRS cables, with one end right-angled and one straight, for my studio monitors. I ordered a 6' and a 10'. Shipping was prompt, and the product arrived quickly. When I received my cables, I noticed I had made a mistake: I should have ordered two 10" cables instead of a 6" cable. My customer service rep, Amy, took care of me and let me know that if I ship the cable back, they will make me another 10' cable if I pay the difference. I was glad I didn't have to pay any restocking fee or return fees, so I immediately sent the cable back yesterday. And the replacement cable is on its way to me. The quality of the cables is second to none, with lifetime warranties along with outstanding customer service. Any other cables I might need, I will purchase from Rattlesnake Cables. And the best part about them is that they are made in the U.S.A. I love supporting small businesses in the US.

Thoughts about our Service:

Outstanding customer service

What was purchased:

The cables are unique,distinctive,of the best quality, zero noise or interference, dependable, and best of all look great with the logos on the ends of the cables letting everyone know you are Rattlesnake Cables official! Since using them i am making the switch to use RCC Cables exclusively! Customer and Artist service is top notch. Hank (owner /creator )at RCC answered all of my emails , professionally, quickly and promptly. I had inquired about artist relations and endorsements and was not turned down or neglected. Answered all questions about the product and delivered exactly what I needed. 10/10 ????????????
