Detail 01
25AWG conductors
Thin for a mic line, which is what keeps eight channels down to one bundle you can actually coil.

MogamiGold 8 Channel XLR Snake Cable 10 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An eight-channel analog XLR snake in a 10-foot length. For tying a stage box, rack, or drum kit into a console sitting a few feet away.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drum kit or amp line into a stage box nearby
- Rack-to-console tie lines where eight loose cables would clutter
- Short studio runs between outboard gear and the interface
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Front-of-house runs — ten feet ends at the stage edge
- Anyone needing one or two channels; per-channel cost is high
- Rigs already carrying audio digitally over a single ethernet line
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
42.7 pF/ft capacitance
Low for multi-core cable, so highs arrive intact instead of rolling off across the run.
Detail 03
Spiral (served) shield
Serve shields flex and coil better than braid, so it tolerates being rolled up after every gig.
Detail 04
Hum pickup 2.5 mV max
Tight for a bundled snake — channels stay quiet crossing lighting and power runs.
Detail 05
Microphonics 50 mV max when stepped on
That is the noise the cable itself makes when trodden on or dragged. Low, which matters on a walked-on floor.
Detail 06
UL CL2 rated, −4 to 158 °F
Class 2 fire rating means it can be run permanently inside a wall, and it stays in spec outdoors.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure first — ten feet reaches a rack or stage box, not the back of a room.
- 02Label both ends by channel before the first gig; eight identical XLRs get confusing fast.
- 03Coil it loose in a bag or on a drum. Tight kinks are what kill multi-core.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can this be run inside a wall?
Yes. It carries a UL CL2 rating, which is the fire rating required for permanent in-wall installation. Local code still governs how it is terminated.
02Will 10 feet reach the mixer at the back of the room?
No. Ten feet is a tie-line length — kit to stage box, rack to console. For a front-of-house run you need a much longer snake.
03Can I send line-level and DI signals through it, not just mics?
Yes. These are balanced analog channels, so mic, line, and DI outputs all pass fine. Phantom power passes through as well.
04Is it okay to use outdoors?
It is rated from −4 °F to 158 °F, so temperature is not the limit. Keep the connector ends out of standing water and off wet ground.
