Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Eight-channel 10 ft. balanced snake, TRS on one end and female XLR on the other. Built for short studio and rack runs between fixed gear.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Patching eight balanced outputs into a converter or console in one run
  • Studio tie lines that get installed once and left alone
  • Replacing eight loose cables with one shielded, matched bundle

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Stage snakes — ten feet barely leaves the rack
  • Gear whose connector genders don't mate with TRS and female XLR
  • Anyone weighing cost per channel against eight individual cables

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.

Mogami Gold 8 Channel TRS-XLR Female Snake Cable 10 ft. construction detail

Detail 01

25AWG conductors

Thin signal-gauge wire. Fine for mic and line level; this is not speaker or power cable.

Detail 02

Served (spiral) shield with drain wire

Spiral shielding coils easily and stays flexible, but it's less tight against very high-frequency interference than a braid.

Detail 03

About 40 pF/ft capacitance

Low enough that high frequencies survive the run intact. Over ten feet the difference is inaudible anyway.

Detail 04

2.8 mm flexible PVC jacket

Thin and pliable, so it dresses neatly through a rack. Less crush protection than a heavy stage jacket.

Detail 05

Microphonics 50 mV max when stepped on

Handling and footfall noise stays controlled, so it can cross a floor without adding thumps to the signal.

Detail 06

UL13 CL2, rated −20 to +70 °C

CL2 covers permanent in-wall installation, and the temperature range holds up in unconditioned crawl spaces or attics.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm connector genders on both devices — no adapters are included
  2. 02Cores are numbered, not channel-labeled; mark the ends yourself
  3. 03Ten feet is the whole run — no breakout box or patch panel

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is this a mic snake or a line snake?

Both ends are balanced, so it carries either. The TRS ends handle balanced quarter-inch jacks; the female XLR ends mate with male XLR outputs.

02Will the XLR ends plug into my mixer's mic inputs?

No. Mic inputs are female and so are these ends. They connect to male XLR outputs, such as preamp or interface outs.

03Can I run this inside a wall?

Yes. It carries a CL2 rating at 60 °C, which covers in-wall installation, and it's specified from −20 to +70 °C.

04Will it pick up hum or handling noise on the floor?

Electrostatic hum pickup is rated at 2.5 mV maximum, and stepping on the cable measures 50 mV maximum. It's built to sit on the ground.
