For Halloween, we thought we'd do something a little fun. I wanted to offer a limited run of Black Widow Speaker Cables! This uses our Black Weave but has red shrink tubes for the widow marking
Some more information about our speaker cables:
If you're looking for the best speaker cable for your guitar amp, or looking for a bass amp speaker cable, look no further! Our heavy-duty cables are manufactured and milled here in the United States and hand soldered in Missoula, Montana!
Our speaker cables use a pair of 12AWG Bare Copper conductors, ensuring great flow to the cabinets. These are the definition of beefy and burly! We terminate these cables with our Switchcraft 188 Jumbo Straight Nickel Plugs, and for you bass players out there, we also offer Neutrik SpeakOn connectors.
What about warranty? - Lifetime warranty baby!
- Dual conductor 99.99% BC.
- DC Resistance 1.6 ohms/MFT
- 2x 12AWG stranded conductors.
- Cable milled in the United States.
- Cable hand-assembled in Missoula, Montana

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
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
You technically can, but speaker cable is un-shielded. It can be extremely noisy if used as an instrument cable. I would not recommend it.Answer
You should never do this. Instrument cables use a very low amount of voltage on a thin conductor (20AWG). Our speaker cables use a pair of 12AWG conductors to safely conduct the higher voltage to your speaker cabinet.Answer
The nature of how signal is transported in a speaker cable is different than instrument cables. Cable capacitance is not an issue.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.
Nick R. - I got my first Rattlesnake cables on a deal with the Rick-o-Sound bundle to use with an old Gibson 345 with the original Varitone TRS wiring. Works great and sounds fantastic! I've used Mogami for some years and I think these might be the clearest,...

Perry D. - I recently purchased my first amp head and wasn't aware that the cable needed to connect it to a cabinet needs to be a heavier gauge and unshielded. So, thanks to Hank for letting me know that before I damaged my amp. To be honest, I was just going...

Family-Owned Business
Rattlesnake Cable Company started with a simple idea by me - Hank. It quickly encapsulated my entire family, from my kids to my wife, Amy. Now, Amy and I are 100% committed to the success of the business and love that it has grown into a fantastic team moving forward.
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.

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.

I received my Snake Woven Instrument cables this past week and I was blown away with the attention to detail, just in the packaging. I felt like I was receiving a gift, with the way it was wrapped up, I was left a branded notepad and the cables came in a really nice branded cloth bag. My package also arrived sooner than I expected. Pulling the cables out, the amazing build quality, tough and sturdy. Plugged in, the clarity of sound and the snake weave are awesome and look great on stage! I was even more sold, when my engineer at my show, thought he saw a snake move! Score! Looking forward to my next purchase! I received my items fast! 5 star experience. I purchased 2 Snake Woven Instrument cables. A 20' and a 3'.

I have purchased several XLR cables, several instrument cables, speaker cables, pick holders, a splitter box and more. These cables are excellent and have replaced all other cables I use from top companies I won't name. These are hands down the best cables I have owned. The customer service is second to none. Any time I've had a question they have always been quick to respond and very helpful. I am proud to spread the word about Rattlesnake Cables.
