Detail 01
Eight channels in one jacket
One bundle carries eight balanced lines. Cuts rack clutter, but you buy all eight whether you use them or not.

MogamiGold 8 Channel XLR Snake Cable 5 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Five-foot eight-channel XLR snake for short, permanent runs between rack gear. Studio wiring, not stage duty.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Linking a preamp rack to a converter or console nearby
- Replacing eight loose XLR cables with one tidy bundle
- Fixed installs where noise floor matters more than length
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Stage runs — five feet reaches nowhere from a stage box
- Anyone needing fewer than eight channels
- Budget rack wiring where individual cables cost far less
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
Served spiral shield, roughly 58 strands
Spiral shielding stays flexible through repeated coiling instead of stiffening and breaking like a foil-and-drain construction.
Detail 03
Electrostatic hum pickup rated 2.5mV max
The shielding spec that matters near power supplies and lighting. Low pickup means less hum riding under quiet mic signals.
Detail 04
Microphonics: 50mV max when stepped on
Handling and footfall noise transmitted into the signal. Relevant for any run crossing a floor rather than staying in a rack.
Detail 05
25AWG conductors, 0.11 ohm per meter
Thin conductors suited to mic and line level. This is signal cable, not speaker or power cable.
Detail 06
Flexible PVC jacket, rated -20 to +70 C
Handles a hot rack or a cold room. The flexible jacket coils without fighting you in a tight rack space.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Five feet is a rack-internal length — measure before assuming it reaches
- 02Check whether your gear needs male or female ends at each end
- 03Eight channels is fixed; unused lines still occupy the bundle
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a stage snake?
Five feet is too short for stage-to-FOH. It is meant for rack-to-rack or rack-to-console runs inside one location.
02Does it carry phantom power?
It is balanced XLR cable, so phantom passes through as it would on any standard mic cable. The cable itself supplies nothing.
03Why pay this much for five feet?
You are buying eight shielded channels, not one. The cost is per channel, plus the shielding spec that keeps hum out of mic-level signal.
04Will it fit balanced line-level gear?
Yes. The 25AWG conductors and balanced construction suit both mic and line level. It is not for speaker or power use.
