Answer
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.Answer
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.Answer
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.Answer
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.Answer
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.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
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.
Zach L. - These cables are solid workhorses. I've gone through cables over the years that last a year. But when I bought my first cable from rattlesnake it felt like it was gonna last forever. Been using the same cable for 3 years now

We Are Musicians
We are musicians. What does that mean? We know what it feels like when gear fails on stage. We hate that feeling, and we think about that with every build. As musicians, we also know how hard the road can be on gear and focus on making it stand the abuse.
U.S. Milled Custom Cable
We take great pride that our custom instrument, XLR, and speaker cables are milled in the United States. All of our milled cables are built to our specifications here in the states and then soldered by hand in Missoula, Montana, by our great team!
Lifetime Warranty
We will absolutely take care of you if you run into any issues with your cable. We do our best to prevent issues and understand life on stages and on the road can be hard on the cables. We've been there, and we'll definitely treat you right if you have any issues.

Rattlesnake Cable Company may be one of the best customer service oriented businesses in this modern era. I received video confirmation of my order and the thanks of the owner. They kept me informed of every step of the process that my cables were in until they hit my front door.

We’ve all been there: relying on 'quality' cables from big-box stores because they’re easy. But as my latest project grew, so did my cable management nightmare. Moving to a 4-Cable Method (4CM) meant four individual lines cluttering the floor and a constant headache trying to remember which lead went where. I reached out to two companies on a weekend. Hank called me personally within an hour. He didn't just take an order; he did the homework. Hank researched my specific gear, downloaded the manufacturer's wiring diagrams, and even steered me toward straight connectors when I wrongly thought I needed right-angles. He built me a custom 20-foot, 3-cable loom and a 'Snakehead' instrument cable that is absolutely rock-solid. The construction is elite, and the packaging is somehow more surgical than an iPhone’s. Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for a callback from the other vendor. If you’re tired of skimping on your signal chain and want your time back, go with Rattlesnake. The leather-tagged, color-coded convenience alone is a game-changer.

I’ve been using rattlesnake cables for a while now and I can say that these cables are hands down the best cables I’ve ever used. I have them thru out all my rig and I have the best tone and my rig is super quiet. Hank and his team put a lot of pride in their work and it shows. Any time I’ve ordered from rattlesnake I’ve always got my order shipped super fast. And packaged well. If you are serious about your tone. And looking for the best guitar and patch cables for your rig? Then give rattlesnake cables a try. Made in the USA.
