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.

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

What Andrew J. Said...


Testimonial:

Just received my first order from Rattlesnake Cable Company! They came very quickly, and the presentation of the order exceeded my expectations. I already used the cables for a couple shows, and they are very solid , and they look very good. I went with a blue color for my IEM, instrument cable and some TRS. I will definitely be ordering more cables in the future!!

Thoughts about our Service:

Customer service was really good! Email correspondence was excellent and all my questions were answered.

What was purchased:

IEC, TRS, and Instrument

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:

Two TRS cables for my studio monitors

What Paul M. Said...


Testimonial:

Rattlesnake makes the best cables I have ever played! Outstanding build quality, very durable, love the Neutrik connectors. These cables are very quiet and side by side with my previous cables there is a notable difference in clarity and tone! For the most part, I plug straight into the front of my amp and don't use much in the way of pedals aside from a modeler for certain gigs and for that I used a Rattlesnake TRS to XLR so, my entire rig is now Rattlesnake.

Thoughts about our Service:

Customer service is outstanding - quick deliveries, the personal notes are a nice touch (second order even noted that I am a return customer) and was really surprised when I received a personal video from Hank!

What was purchased:

Two instrument cables and one TRS to XLR

What Scott . Said...


Testimonial:

I just ordered recently from Rattlesnake Cable Company for the first time and already ordered again. The quality of the products is clearly superior. Not only are they robust but beautiful as well. I ordered a couple of speaker cables, a TRS cable and a patch cable in custom lengths and they are game changers for me. They really cleaned up my rig and certainly appear built for the long haul. My only frustration is now that I know they make cables for every conceivable application for my rig, from IEC, TRS, XLR, patch, and instrument cables...and beyond, I want to replace every cable I have with a Rattlesnake Cable. The products are obviously high quality but the customer service makes the buying process a joy as well.

Thoughts about our Service:

The customer service at Rattlesnake Cable Company is superlative, unparalleled I would say. I appreciate very much the personal touch added by physical notes in the order and the video that was sent.

What was purchased:

Speaker cables, TRS cable, and a patch cable

I placed an order for 2 cables, both the snake head version. One in red the other in their limited Oxblood. Both 15'. Already had a standard in Dirty Tweed that I got at Christmas and have been using exclusively. The sound from these gives more depth, clarity and range not found anywhere else. I couldn't believe what a difference a cable could make. I got the Oxblood for my bass and the red for guitars. These are the only cables I will use now. Others have been retired. They came fast, within 2 days. Got a personal thank you video from owner, thanks Hank, something I have never gotten from any other company. Let me know when build was started and when order went in mail. They are first class all the way. Came with box full of goodies, each in it's own drawstring bag (cool!) And a note pad with personal thank you note on front page. This is the best thing you can ever do for your guitar(s) and amp(s)!! Nothing better! Customer service was great, fast and personal. I ordered: 15' snake head in Oxblood 15' snake head in Red
