Neutrik1/4" Phone Plug with Large Opening
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A solder-type 1/4" phone plug with an oversized cable opening, made for thicker instrument and speaker cable. For DIY cable building.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Terminating heavy-gauge speaker cable that won't fit a standard plug
- Building instrument cables from thicker, road-durable cable stock
- Replacing a crushed or intermittent plug on an existing lead
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who just wants a finished cable off the shelf
- Players without soldering tools or experience
- Thin patch cable — the large opening leaves the strain relief loose

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my speaker cable?
That's what the large opening is for. Thick-jacketed speaker cable that binds in a standard plug should pass through. Measure your jacket diameter before buying a batch.
02Is this mono or stereo?
It's a phone plug with tip and sleeve — a two-conductor mono connection, standard for instrument and speaker runs. For balanced or stereo you want a TRS connector.
03Do I need to solder it?
Yes. The conductors solder to the tip and sleeve lugs. Plan on an iron, solder and a few minutes per end.
04Can I use it on regular guitar cable?
Yes, though thin cable will sit loose in the oversized opening. Standard plugs grip thin jackets better.
