Detail 01
DB25 to eight male XLR
One connector carries eight balanced channels, and the male ends mate with inputs, so signal flows out of the D-sub.

MogamiGold 8 Channel DB25-XLR Male Snake Cable 10 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Eight-channel analog fanout from one D-sub port to eight male XLRs, 10 ft. For interfaces, converters, and consoles that use DB25 I/O.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Feeding eight console or preamp inputs from one D-sub converter port
- Replacing eight loose runs with a single tidy 10-ft harness
- Fixed racks where the snake is dressed in and left alone
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Capturing mics into a D-sub input — that needs female XLR ends
- Distances past 10 feet; there is no slack to borrow
- Budget builds, since eight Mogami channels cost well past generic
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 seven-strand conductor
Thin stranded cores let eight pairs sit in one bundle that still bends instead of behaving like a trunk.
Detail 03
Served spiral shield
Wrapped rather than braided, so the cable stays flexible and quieter when it gets moved or re-dressed.
Detail 04
Electrostatic hum pickup 2.5mV max
Low induced hum, which matters when the harness passes power supplies and transformers inside a rack.
Detail 05
Microphonics 50mV max when stepped on
Handling noise stays low, so bumping or walking on the bundle does not thump through the channels.
Detail 06
Rated -20°C to +70°C
Covers hot rack interiors and cold rooms, so the jacket is not working near its limits in normal use.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01D-sub analog pinouts vary by manufacturer; confirm yours matches before ordering
- 02Direction is fixed — male XLRs feed inputs, and adapters get ugly
- 03Ten feet total; measure the rack-to-console path including routing and slack
- 04One D-sub end, so your gear needs that port, not eight jacks
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this an input or an output snake?
Output. The male XLR ends plug into inputs, carrying eight channels out of a D-sub port. Recording mics into a D-sub input would need female XLR ends instead.
02Will it work with my interface's DB25 port?
It is a standard eight-channel analog D-sub fanout, but confirm your port's pinout matches, since manufacturers wire D-sub analog differently.
03Are the channels balanced?
Yes. Each channel runs as a shielded pair with a drain wire and terminates to a three-pin XLR.
04Does it include a breakout box?
No. It is a straight harness: one D-sub shell to eight loose XLR tails, 10 feet long.
