Detail 01
3 ft length
Short enough to stay flat on a pedalboard. Too short to walk anywhere with, so plan it as a patch cable.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 3 ft shielded instrument cable for short hops — pedal to pedal, guitar to a nearby amp, or rack patching.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Linking pedals set close together on a board
- Amp head to a rack unit or effects loop jump
- Keeping a tight setup free of coiled slack
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Playing standing up or moving around — 3 ft ties you to the amp
- Speaker connections between a head and a cabinet
- Boards spaced far apart where you need real reach
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
Instrument cable, not speaker cable
Shielded center conductor rejects hum on low-level signal. Not built to carry amplifier output to a speaker.
Detail 03
Standard series
Rapco's baseline instrument line. Straightforward build for utility duty rather than a boutique showpiece.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Disappears against a black pedalboard. Color-code the ends if you need to trace your signal path.
Detail 05
Rapco Horizon build
Live-sound brand, so it is made to be stepped on and re-patched rather than left untouched in a studio.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm 3 ft actually spans your pedal spacing — measure the board first
- 02Straight plugs need more room behind a pedal than right-angle ends
- 03Do not use it between an amp head and a speaker cabinet
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 3 ft long enough to play with?
Not for standing or moving. Three feet is patch length — pedal to pedal, or gear sitting side by side. For playing, get 10 ft or more.
02Can I use this between my head and cab?
No. That connection needs speaker cable. An instrument cable's thin shielded conductor is not built for amplifier output.
03Will it fit between two pedals on my board?
It fits most standard pedal spacing, but measure first. Straight plugs also add length behind each pedal, so allow for that.
04Does a short cable sound better?
Shorter runs mean less capacitance, so less high-end roll-off. Over 3 feet versus 10, the difference is small but real on single-coils.
