Detail 01
Served (spiral) shield, roughly 58 strands
Spiral shielding keeps a fat eight-channel bundle flexible, so it coils and routes instead of fighting you.

MogamiGold 8 Channel TRS-TRS Snake Cable 20 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Eight balanced TRS lines in one 20-foot jacket. For linking an interface, console or patchbay to outboard gear across a room.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Interface outputs to a patchbay sitting in a separate rack
- Console buses or inserts feeding a multitrack converter
- Permanent installs where eight loose cables turn into a mess
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Microphone lines — there are no XLR connections here
- Rigs needing two or three channels, not eight
- Distances past 20 feet, where couplers add eight failure points
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
Hum pickup rated 2.5 mV max
A stated ceiling on noise induced from nearby power. Matters when the run passes transformers, dimmers or lighting feeds.
Detail 03
Microphonics: 50 mV max when stepped on
Handling noise is measured, not assumed. Foot traffic over the run won't punch thumps into your channels.
Detail 04
Capacitance 140 pF/m
Low enough that 20 feet of balanced line level arrives with no meaningful loss at the top end.
Detail 05
#25 AWG conductors, XLPE insulation
Thin stranded wire keeps eight pairs manageable. Line level only — this is not power or speaker cable.
Detail 06
UL13 CL2, rated -20 to +70 °C
CL2 is a fire rating used for in-building runs, so it suits a permanent install, not just a floor drape.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Both ends are 1/4-inch TRS; XLR gear needs adapters bought separately
- 02Measure the whole path including rack slack — 20 feet goes fast around corners
- 03No patchbay, rack ties or labeling supplied
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this for microphones?
Not directly. Every channel terminates in 1/4-inch TRS, and mics need XLR into a preamp. You'd be adapting connectors and still need preamps somewhere.
02Is every channel balanced?
Each of the eight channels is TRS at both ends, so all eight can run balanced when the gear at each end has balanced jacks.
03Can I use only four of the eight channels?
Yes. Unused channels sit idle with no effect on the others. Leave them unplugged and tied back out of the way.
04Will 20 feet cause signal loss?
At line level, no. Capacitance is 140 pF/m and the lines are balanced, so a 20-foot run arrives intact.
