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.
Jon C. - Great cables. I've bought quality cables that were more expensive for years. Rattlesnake cables kick their competitors ass.

Rattlesnake Cables is a wonderful company--I've ordered from them a few times now. The product is platinum quality, and the customer service is second to none. You can pay a lot more or a lot less for cables out there, but none of them will have the combined product quality and customer service... Read

Just acquired a 15’’ long snake head in copper color. This cables is the best I have tried so far, I can actually hear with clarity the ghost notes and harmonics on all of my basses without losing fundamental. It looks like it could be used and abused on stage because of the construction and I think it would contribute to a great tone in a recording environment.

Rattlesnake Cables is a wonderful company--I've ordered from them a few times now. The product is platinum quality, and the customer service is second to none. You can pay a lot more or a lot less for cables out there, but none of them will have the combined product quality and customer service experience. I really can't recommend them enough. Do yourself a favor and get the Rattlesnake experience.
