What it is

The Hosa STP-201 is a 1m insert cable built for studio and stage use. It splits a single 1/4 inch TRS connection into two 1/4 inch TS plugs for routing signals through outboard processors. Oxygen-free copper conductors and spiral shielding preserve signal integrity in professional audio environments.

Interface limits

The 1/4 inch TRS and TS connectors handle balanced and unbalanced line-level signals without active electronics. Shielding rejects EMI and RFI, but the passive design cannot compensate for impedance mismatches or level differences between devices. Cable length is fixed at one metre, so rack spacing must accommodate that reach.

Upgrade path

This cable replaces generic patch leads that use lower-grade conductors or inadequate shielding. The jump is worth it when hum, noise or intermittent connections disrupt recording or live sound. It does not serve applications needing XLR, TT bantam or multipin connectors, nor does it replace a direct box for instrument-level conversion.

Questions about this item

Which length of the STP-201 insert cable should I choose for a compact pedalboard setup?

The STP-201 is supplied in a 1m length, keeping cable runs short and tidy on a small board while still reaching between adjacent pedals or a nearby interface.

What does the 1/4 in TRS to dual 1/4 in TS wiring actually do inside my signal chain?

It splits a single balanced or insert jack into separate send and return paths, letting you patch an effects loop or insert point with one cable instead of two.

How does the oxygen-free copper conductor and spiral shield affect noise rejection on stage?

OFC conductors and the OFC spiral shield reduce EMI and RFI pickup, so the cable stays quiet near power supplies, lighting dimmers and wireless gear.
