Detail 01
Core cable, not a finished cable
It's the trunk of a modular system. You add the breakout ends separately to get usable connections.

D'AddarioModular Snake Core Cable 5 ft.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Five-foot core cable for D'Addario's modular snake system. Buy it if you're building or extending a snake in that system.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Short runs between a stage box and nearby gear
- Building a tidy modular snake instead of loose cable bundles
- Adding a compact core length to an existing modular setup
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a standalone mic or instrument cable
- Longer stage runs — five feet covers very little distance
- Players not already using the modular snake system
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
5 ft. length
Short. Suited to gear sitting close together — a rack to a nearby box, not stage to front of house.
Detail 03
Modular snake design
Carries several channels in one jacket, so one run replaces a handful of individual cables.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Disappears against dark stages and cable ramps, which matters when the run is visible to an audience.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Breakout ends are separate purchases — the core alone won't connect to gear
- 02Measure the run first; five feet disappears fast once routed
- 03Confirm compatibility with the modular pieces you already own
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on its own as a mic cable?
No. It's the core of a modular snake and needs the matching breakout ends to terminate into usable connectors.
02Is five feet long enough for a stage run?
No. Five feet suits gear placed close together. Stage-to-console runs need a much longer core.
03Can I chain two of these for more length?
That depends on the modular pieces in your setup. Check what couplers your system uses before assuming.
04What's the difference between this and a regular snake?
A regular snake is fixed — set length, set connectors. This one is built from parts, so you swap ends and lengths as needs change.
