Cable Length and Connectors

The Hosa Technology cable measures five feet and connects a 3.5 mm stereo plug to a 2.5 mm stereo plug. It is intended for musicians and audio engineers who need a short, reliable patch between instruments, pedals or portable recorders with mismatched jack sizes. The oxygen-free copper conductors and dense braided shield are built for stage and studio use where signal integrity matters.

Shielding Under Continuous Use

The ninety percent OFC braided shield maintains consistent electromagnetic and radio-frequency rejection during long sets or recording sessions. Twenty AWG oxygen-free copper conductors keep resistance low so the signal does not degrade when the cable is coiled near power supplies or lighting rigs. This construction prevents the noise floor from rising over time, unlike thinner shields that can let interference creep in.

Upgrade From Unshielded Leads

The cable replaces generic unshielded or lightly shielded patch leads that pick up hum in electrically noisy venues. The jump is worth it when you hear buzz from stage lighting, switch-mode power supplies or RF gear and need a quiet connection without adding a direct box. It does not suit installations that require balanced XLR or TRS quarter-inch connectors.

Questions about this item

Does the 20 AWG oxygen-free copper conductor run warm when the cable carries a signal all day?

The 20 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors are designed for low-loss signal transmission and do not generate noticeable heat during normal instrument use.

What connectors must my instrument and amplifier already have for this cable to plug straight in?

You need a 1/4 inch output on your instrument and a 1/4 inch input on your amplifier or pedalboard for the REAN straight connectors to mate directly.

Will the 90 percent braided shielding prevent hum when I run this cable next to vintage gear with unshielded wiring?

The hi-density 90 percent OFC braided shield provides strong EMI and RFI rejection, reducing noise even when routed alongside older equipment with less shielding.
