Monoprice 8-Channel 1/4-Inch TRS Male to 1/4-Inch TRS Male Snake Cable - 3 Feet, 26AWG, 8 Balanced Mono and Unbalanced Stereo Lines

I was skeptical because of the low price, but this is a great loom. Excellent build and sound quality. The colored cables make it easy to identify channels in cluttered/small work environments without a patch bay.

This snake cable delivers solid performance and reliability for a budget-friendly price. The 26AWG wiring provides clean signal transfer with good shielding against interference. Each channel is clearly numbered on both ends - a crucial detail that makes setup and troubleshooting much easier. The molded strain reliefs are robust and should hold up well to regular use.The TRS connectors have a secure fit with good contact pressure, clicking firmly into place without being overly tight. Three feet is an ideal length for rack-mounted gear, helping minimize cable clutter while providing enough slack for comfortable connections. The jacket material is appropriately flexible without feeling cheap or prone to kinking.For a budget snake, the build quality exceeds expectations. The solder joints appear well-executed, and the internal wiring configuration maintains proper channel separation. It handles both balanced mono and unbalanced stereo signals cleanly, making it versatile for various studio applications.One minor consideration is that the cable diameter makes it slightly stiff - not an issue for most installations but worth noting if you need extreme flexibility. While not boutique-level construction, this snake provides excellent value for home studios, mobile rigs, or anywhere reliable multi-channel connectivity is needed without breaking the bank.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I was originally looking for 3' Patch Cables Bundles and found the pickings to be slim in that area compared to ten years ago. The few bundles I DID find were fairly expensive for what you were getting. Then I found this 3', 8 cable Snake. While I only needed four cables I decided it was still cheaper to buy the snake rather than purchasing four, 3' patch cables. the snake is great quality and even though I only use half of it for now I have the option of using four more patches if/when I need them. I don't mind the extra plugs dangling from the rear of my rig at all. No one's ever going to see them any way other than Stage Crew and other Musicians. If you don't mind having extra patch cables if you only need a few and want them all to stay together then this is one Item I can highly recommend! Thanks Monoprice for a great product!

I use these for running my rack gear into the rear jacks of my patch bay. It’s way cheaper than buying individual cables, plus being able to quickly sort out what goes where by looking for cable color has been a huge help. They’re molded, so no repairs possible without chopping and resoldering, but they’re probably going to stay put for most of their life so I don’t expect much need for repairs. I’ll continue to buy these for future projects.

These were perfect for installing behind the patch-bay on my recording desk. They're definitely made well and cut out a lot of the cable clutter behind the desk. The color coding it easy to keep track of things.

After checking varied reviews I decided to give this a try and it's been really good. I got the short ones to use inside a rack, so I don't know much about greater lengths, but it's a balanced cable, so...They are really nice to the touch too.

I needed some patch cords to go between my recording equipment and Monoprice is well-known for their quality cables. I have several Monoprice cables and will always buy more. Great value and quality. Highly recommend to all musicians/engineers.

I use this in my home music studio and it works well. the cables are all well-made. I RECOMMEND THIS.
