HosaMID-315BK MIDI Cable 10 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10 ft 5-pin MIDI cable for connecting keyboards, sound modules, and interfaces. Basic cable for a desk or small rack setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Linking a keyboard's MIDI OUT to an interface or module
- Desk setups where the gear sits a few feet apart
- Keeping a spare in the gig bag for dead cable nights
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Gear with only USB MIDI ports
- Runs longer than about 10 feet across a stage
- Anyone needing audio — this carries MIDI data only
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
10 ft length
Enough for keyboard to rack or desktop interface. Short of what you need for across-stage runs.
Detail 03
One-way data cable
MIDI travels in one direction per cable. Two-way communication between two devices takes two of these.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Disappears against dark stages and racks. Label both ends if you run several in the same setup.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your gear has 5-pin DIN jacks, not USB or TRS MIDI
- 02Buy two if devices must send and receive from each other
- 03Carries no audio — you still need separate audio cables
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with my USB MIDI keyboard?
Only if the keyboard also has 5-pin DIN MIDI jacks. Many USB-only controllers don't, and this cable won't connect to a USB port.
02Do I need one cable or two?
One cable sends MIDI in a single direction. If you want both devices talking to each other, run one cable each way.
03Can I use this to record audio?
No. MIDI carries note and control data only. Audio needs its own cable from your instrument's audio output.
04Is 10 feet long enough?
Fine for a keyboard next to a rack, interface, or module. For longer stage runs, get a longer cable.
