OQAN QABL JL-006-JL - Set of 6 1/4" Mono Jack Patch Cables of 0.6m
Optimize your audio connections and keep your studio or pedalboard organized with the OQAN QABL JL-006-JL patch cable set. This package includes six high-quality patch cables specifically designed to interconnect unbalanced audio equipment, ensuring clean, uninterrupted signal transmission. Whether you're a guitarist looking to organize your effects chain or a sound engineer setting up a patchbay, this set offers the practical and durable solution you need.
Measuring 60 centimeters in length, these cables offer ideal flexibility for connecting equipment that isn't immediately adjacent, allowing for convenient routing without excess cable. The six distinct colors aren't just for aesthetics; they're a critical functional tool for quickly identifying signal flow in complex setups, saving valuable time during installation or live troubleshooting.
Main features
-
Versatile length: Each cable measures 0.6 meters (60 cm), providing sufficient reach for connections between distant pedals, rack modules, or synthesizers.
-
Color coding: The pack includes 6 cables in different colors (such as red, yellow, green, blue, black and white/purple) for immediate visual identification of each channel.
-
Standard connectors: Equipped with 1/4" (6.35 mm) mono male jack connectors on both ends, compatible with the vast majority of professional audio equipment.
-
Robust construction: The connectors are molded to offer greater tensile strength and protect the internal solder joints from daily use.
Benefits of color-coding
The main benefit of using the OQAN QABL JL-006-JL set lies in workflow efficiency. In environments with multiple connections, such as a large pedalboard or a home recording studio, using cables of the same color can lead to frustrating confusion. By assigning a specific color to each instrument or effects send, you can visually trace the signal path at a glance, eliminating the need to manually follow each cable from source to destination.
Use cases
This cable set is extremely versatile and adapts to multiple scenarios:
-
Guitar and bass pedalboards: Ideal for connecting pedals that are in different rows or for making cross-connections on large pedalboards.
-
Recording studios: Perfect for use in patchbays, allowing you to reconfigure the recording chain in seconds.
-
Modular synthesizers: Although the standard is usually 3.5mm, many classic or rack-format synthesizers and drum machines use 1/4" jacks, where these cables are essential.
-
DJ and PA equipment: Useful for connecting mixing consoles to external effects processors or equalizers located in the same rack.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are these stereo or mono cables?
These are unbalanced mono (TS - Tip/Sleeve) cables, designed for standard instrument or line signals.
-
What is the exact length in centimeters?
They have a length of 60 cm (0.6 meters), measured from end to end of the connectors.
-
Are they suitable for connecting a guitar to an amplifier?
Technically, yes, but at only 60 cm long, they're too short for comfortable playing. They're designed as patch cables (for interconnecting equipment), not as main instrument cables.
-
Are the connectors metal or plastic?
The connectors have a robust injection-molded housing that protects the internal connection, designed to withstand continuous use.
