Eight-channel snake cable

This 8-channel 1/4-inch TS male-to-male snake cable carries eight unbalanced mono lines between equipment fitted with 1/4-inch TS jacks. Each of the eight conductors is a 26 AWG solid wire wrapped in aluminum foil shielding to reduce EM and RF interference. The cable runs 20 feet and weighs 3.94 pounds, with color-coded wires in red, white, green, yellow, black, blue, gray and brown for quick identification.

Studio and stage patching

It suits engineers who need to route multiple mono signals from mixers, interfaces or instrument outputs to a patch bay or recorder in a single run. Installations requiring balanced connections or TRS wiring will not be served by this unbalanced TS design. Builders needing more than eight channels or a different connector type should look at other configurations.

Sustained signal integrity

The aluminum foil shield on every conductor maintains consistent rejection of stray interference during long sessions or permanent installs. Solid 26 AWG conductors keep resistance stable over the full 20-foot length, so signal level and noise floor do not drift as the cable warms under continuous use.

Questions about this item

What equipment needs 1/4-inch TS jacks to connect this 8-channel snake cable?

Mixers, audio interfaces, patch bays, or any gear with 1/4-inch TS inputs and outputs will accept the eight TS plugs on each end.

Will the 26 AWG conductors and foil shielding on this 20-foot snake work with older analog mixers and outboard gear?

Yes, the unbalanced mono lines and 1/4-inch TS plugs are standard analog connections compatible with legacy equipment.

How can I confirm each of the eight color-coded lines is passing signal correctly after hooking up the snake?

Send audio through each channel individually and verify it appears at the corresponding destination using the red, white, green, yellow, black, blue, gray, and brown wire colors as reference.
