Detail 01
8 channels in one jacket
Replaces eight separate mic cables with a single run, so a rack loom stays thin and traceable.

MogamiGold 8 Channel DB25-XLR Female Snake Cable 5 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An eight-channel DB25-to-XLR-female snake, five feet long, for wiring a converter or interface's analog inputs inside a rack. Built for permanent studio wiring.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Wiring an 8-channel converter's analog inputs to preamps or a patchbay
- Short rack runs where cable clutter and hum are problems
- Permanent studio installs you wire once and leave alone
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Feeding a DB25 device's outputs — that side needs male XLRs
- Stage floors and touring cases; this jacket suits rack use
- Anyone needing more than five feet of reach
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
#25AWG conductors
Thin gauge keeps eight pairs flexible inside one jacket. Line-level duty only, never speaker or power.
Detail 03
Served spiral shield
Spiral shielding bends and coils behind a rack instead of fighting back the way a stiff braid does.
Detail 04
42.7 pF/ft capacitance
Low capacitance barely loads the signal; across five feet, high-frequency loss is inaudible.
Detail 05
2.5 mV max hum pickup
Resists induced hum from power supplies and transformers packed close together in the same rack.
Detail 06
50 mV microphonics when stepped on
Footsteps and knocks translate into very little audible noise through the run.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01DB25 pinouts differ between manufacturers; confirm your gear's standard before ordering
- 02Female XLR ends mate with male outputs, so this is the input side
- 03Five feet is rack-to-rack length; measure the distance before assuming it reaches
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with my 8-channel interface?
Any device with a DB25 analog port works, provided the pinout matches. The pinout is the thing to verify — check your device's manual for its wiring diagram.
02Can I use it for outputs instead of inputs?
Not as it is. Female XLR ends plug into male outputs, so this carries signal into a DB25 device. Outputs call for the male-XLR version.
03Is five feet too short for a studio?
It's sized for gear in the same rack or an adjacent one. If the converter and preamps sit in different racks, measure the path first.
04Why does a five-foot cable cost this much?
You're paying for eight shielded channels in one jacket plus the DB25 termination, not for length. The hum and handling-noise figures are where the money goes.
