Detail 01
5 ft length
Rack-length only. Measure from the D-sub port to the farthest XLR jack first; there is no slack for routing.

MogamiGold 8 Channel DB25-XLR Male Snake Cable 5 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Eight-channel DB25 to XLR male fan-out, five feet long. For patching an analog D-sub port on a converter, interface, or console into eight XLR inputs.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Short rack runs from a D-sub port to outboard gear
- Connecting eight converter or console outputs to XLR inputs
- Permanent installs where the cable stays behind the rack
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Stage or room runs — five feet barely leaves the rack
- Gear with only 1/4-inch or discrete XLR I/O
- Anyone needing female XLR ends to plug in microphones
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
#25 AWG 7-strand conductors
Thin and stranded so eight pairs stay flexible in one jacket. Signal-level duty only, not speaker or power.
Detail 03
Served (spiral) shield
Spiral shielding coils and lays flat without kinking, and keeps the bundle thin where a braid would stiffen it.
Detail 04
42.7 pF/ft capacitance
Low for a multipair. Capacitance is what dulls treble over distance, so short runs like this stay clean.
Detail 05
2.8 mm flexible PVC jacket
Thin and pliable for tight rack bends, but thinner than a touring-grade jacket if it gets dragged or pinched.
Detail 06
Non-emigrant to ABS resin
The jacket will not leach plasticizer into ABS plastic, so it won't fog or soften gear it rests against.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01D-sub analog pinouts vary by manufacturer — confirm your gear's wiring first
- 02XLR ends are male, so they mate with female inputs only
- 03Covers one D-sub port; a second port needs its own snake
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for mic level or line level?
Both. It's a shielded eight-pair audio snake on #25 AWG stranded conductors, suited to mic and line signals. It is not a speaker or power cable.
02Can I plug eight microphones into it?
Not directly. The XLR ends are male, so they go into inputs. Microphones need female XLR ends to receive them.
03Why only five feet?
It's built for rack-to-rack patching between adjacent gear. Short runs keep capacitance and handling noise down. Longer distances need a longer cable.
04Will heat inside a closed rack hurt it?
It's rated from -20°C to 70°C (-4°F to 158°F) and carries a UL13 CL2 60°C rating, so normal rack temperatures are within range.
