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.

Austin G. - I play an average of 3 shows/week and I'm very hard on gear. Rattlesnake Cables are definitely a cut above, a "different breed" if you will. They've stood up to my abuse and still look and sound amazing. THESE ARE GAME CHANGERS! Hank and his family...

John L. - Highest quality cable I've ever owned. Extremely solid and durable for stage. I didn't realize how much sound quality I had been losing through my other cables. Highly recommend for anyone who takes the stage.

Tom K. - I was looking for a 10ft cable for recording (instead of my 21 ft Monster "bass" cable, and decided to give Rattlesnake a try. These cables are top notch and my Warwick bass sounds every bit as good and noiseless as the supposedly bass oriented...

After being chided about my cheap a** cables and the buzz they caused from time to time a band member loaned me one of his spare RATTLESNAKE cables. The buzz was eliminated at once. SO, what did I do? Borrowed his cable until I could get my own RATTLESNAKE cables. I ordered a couple of snakehead cables, a couple of 3’ non-covered cables, a pick tin and a cool t-shirt. Now my bass sound is clean as a whistle, I look good in my new practice t-shirt AND (not using guitar picks) I have a new container for toothPICKS. How cool is that. Superior customer service, fast shipping (MT to NC in 5 working days)and the best cables I have ever seen being used or used myself. Thanks Rattlesnake!!
