Detail 01
TRS on both ends
Carries a balanced line signal, so hum and noise picked up along the run get cancelled at the input.

Rapco HorizonTRS-TRS Cable 3 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 3-foot balanced TRS-to-TRS patch cable. For short runs between rack gear, interfaces, and balanced mixer inputs where a long cable is just clutter.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Patching an interface output to powered monitors on a desk
- Short runs between rack units in the same case
- Connecting a mixer insert or balanced line out nearby
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing reach — 3 feet only spans a desk or rack
- Unbalanced-only gear that won't benefit from the extra conductor
- Guitar-to-amp use, which wants a TS instrument 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
3 ft. length
Sized for gear sitting next to each other. Enough slack for a rack or desktop, not a stage run.
Detail 03
Balanced line cable, not instrument cable
Plugging a guitar in works but loses the noise rejection and isn't what the cable is built for.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Disappears behind a rack or desk. Buy different lengths or label ends if you're running several.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as one cable — a stereo pair of monitors needs two
- 02TRS only helps if both ends of your gear are balanced
- 03Measure the run first; 3 feet goes fast behind a rack
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a stereo cable or a balanced cable?
The TRS connector does both jobs. Between two balanced line jacks it carries one balanced mono signal, not stereo left and right.
02Can I use it as a guitar cable?
It will pass signal, but a guitar output is unbalanced and wants a TS instrument cable. Use this for line-level gear.
03Do I need two for monitors?
Yes. Each powered monitor takes its own cable, so a stereo pair needs two.
04Will it work in a mixer insert jack?
Insert jacks use TRS as send and return on one plug, so a TRS-to-TRS cable only works if the other device is wired the same way.
