Detail 01
Instrument cable (shielded)
The shield rejects hum from lights and transformers. That's what makes it usable for a low-output pickup signal.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10-foot shielded instrument cable for guitar or bass to amp. Basic, inexpensive, meant to be a working spare.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitar or bass to amp at practice or rehearsal
- A backup cable to keep in the gig bag
- Short runs between pedals and amp on a small board
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need to roam a large stage on a 10-foot leash
- Connecting an amp head to a speaker cabinet
- Microphone runs — this is not an XLR cable
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
10 ft. length
Enough to stand a few steps off your amp. Short runs also mean less high-end loss than a 20 or 25 foot cable.
Detail 03
Standard, not premium construction
Fine for practice and backup duty. Nightly gigging players tend to go through budget cables faster at the plug ends.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Blends into a dark stage floor. Worth marking the ends if you carry several identical cables.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Do not use this between an amp head and a speaker cabinet
- 02Coil it over-under rather than around your elbow to extend its life
- 03Cable alone — no adapters or right-angle plugs included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 10 feet long enough for playing live?
It works if you stay near your amp or pedalboard. Players who move around the stage usually want 18 to 20 feet or wireless.
02Can I use this between pedals?
Yes, though 10 feet is a lot of slack for a pedalboard. Short patch cables keep a board tidier.
03Will this work for a keyboard or an acoustic with a pickup?
Yes. Any instrument with a standard 1/4-inch output works with a shielded instrument cable like this one.
04Why is it so much cheaper than other cables?
It's a basic build. It passes signal fine. Premium cables spend the extra money on connectors, strain relief, and heavier jackets.
