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.

Robert M. - I love these cables. The color of the Green POPS out at you, and the way they are wrapped and put together is truly a quality and workmanship . I recommend these Cables for your Studio as well as Playing live!! And they have a lifetime warranty!

These are great cables. Quality thru and thru. Received my made to order cables in about 3 business days (fast), and that's traveling fro Montara ro North Carolina! The thing that amazed me more was the attention to detail and the 2nd to none customer service. Not only did they keep me updated on my order, but they sent a personalized video message thanking me for my purchase. Truly outstanding. I can't recommend Rattlesnake Cable enough. Jeff Johnson

I love the quality of the cables, especially these TA4F wireless cables, usually known to be flimsy and unable to withstand the rigors of the road, the rattlesnake neutrik/TA4F could probably survive a bomb blast! Very happy customer, even happier endorsed artist now.

Fantastic company. Upon receiving my order they sent me a personalized video informing me of receipt and when to expect my order. I received my 2 custom 10ft guitar cables, one gold one nickel, within 3 days. Absolutely incredible quality and customer service. If you loop your cable through a strap I recommend adding the protective “tail”. To protect the surface of the guitar I will be ordering again and I highly recommend this product and company!
