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.

Rattlesnake Cable Company are makers of the Highest Quality Cables and goods. Customer service is beyond words it's so excellent. My Rattlesnake, Snake Head, Big Sky, instrument cable is the absolute best! My Rattlesnake standard Snake weave cable has my cat "Mia" fooled and she is still sneaking up on it when she comes in to jam. The Rattlesnake patch cables with pancake plugs are perfect for space saving between pedals! I'm so pleased with the improvement on my electric/acoustic signal(s) with just the instrument cables, I've ordered 2 more instrument cables to connect my pedals to my amplifiers. Once you get your hands on a Rattlesnake Cable you will feel the goodness, hearing music played thru a Rattlesnake Cable will seal the deal. Hank Donovan and the Rattlesnake Team are bright spots in the music world!

I love these cables! My wife bought me my first one for my birthday a year or two ago and since then I’ve ordered custom purple ones and they are beautiful! I’m expanding my rig to a wet/dry set up and grabbed another as well as a new speaker cable. Down the road I will definitely be getting patch cables as whenever I add a Rattlesnake Cable my signal gets cleaner. I can’t say enough about how much I love these things and the packaging, holy cow! So fancy!
