Cordial CFI 0.6 PP - 60cm Instrument Patch Cable
The Cordial CFI 0.6 PP is a high-quality instrument cable, specifically designed to provide a flawless and reliable connection in demanding environments such as pedalboards, recording studios, or effects racks. At 60 cm long, it's the ideal solution for neatly and efficiently interconnecting effects pedals, minimizing signal path length and preserving the integrity of your tone. Manufactured in Germany to Cordial's strict quality standards, this cable guarantees transparent, interference-free audio transmission.
Its construction is based on the renowned Cordial CMI 99 cable, using high-purity oxygen-free copper (OFC) for its conductors. This, combined with robust copper spiral shielding, protects the signal against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring clean sound free of unwanted noise. The PVC outer jacket not only provides excellent durability and wear resistance but also offers the flexibility needed for comfortable handling and easy installation in any configuration.
Main features
-
Optimized length: Its 60 cm length is perfect for short connections on pedalboards, keeping the space organized and reducing excess cable.
-
High-quality connectors: Equipped with two straight 6.35mm mono jack (TS) connectors, manufactured by REAN (a Neutrik brand), which ensure a solid, durable connection with excellent conductivity thanks to their nickel-plated contacts.
-
Superior signal quality: The conductor with a cross-section of 0.22 mm² and its low capacitance of 130 pF/m guarantee signal transmission without loss of treble or degradation of the instrument's original tone.
-
Effective shielding: The bare copper spiral shielding provides excellent coverage against all types of external interference, ideal for stages and studios.
-
Robust construction: The tough, flexible PVC cover protects the cable from mechanical damage, ensuring a long service life even with heavy use.
Benefits for the musician
-
Pure and unaltered tone: Thanks to its high-quality components, the cable preserves the dynamics and sonic character of your guitar, bass or other instrument, without coloring or attenuating the signal.
-
Reliability in any situation: Forget about noise, pops, or signal dropouts. The solid construction and excellent shielding give you the confidence you need for live performances or studio recording.
-
Clean and professional pedalboard: The precise length of 60 cm allows you to organize your pedals efficiently, avoiding tangles and optimizing space for a cleaner and more functional setup.
-
Long-lasting investment: The quality of the materials and German manufacturing make this cable a smart investment that will stand the test of time and withstand the rigors of touring and concerts.
Use cases
The Cordial CFI 0.6 PP is the preferred choice for musicians and technicians who need a short, highly reliable audio connection. Its primary use is for interconnecting effects pedals on a guitar or bass pedalboard. It is also perfectly suited for connecting rack-mounted equipment such as preamps, effects processors, compressors, or equalizers, as well as for linking synthesizers and modules in a music production studio.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable balanced (stereo) or unbalanced (mono)?
This is an unbalanced (mono) cable, designed for instrument signals such as those from an electric guitar or bass. It uses 6.35 mm TS (Tip-Sleeve) connectors.
Are the connectors straight or angled?
Both connectors on this model (PP) are straight. Cordial also offers versions with angled connectors to accommodate different pedalboard configurations.
Can I use it to connect my guitar directly to the amplifier?
Technically, yes, the signal quality would be excellent. However, its 60cm length is too short for this purpose, as it would completely restrict your movement on stage. Its design is optimized for short, fixed connections, such as on a pedalboard.
What differentiates it from a cheaper patch cable?
The main difference lies in the quality of the materials and construction. The Cordial CFI 0.6 PP uses oxygen-free copper, denser and more effective shielding, and REAN (Neutrik) brand connectors. This results in better tone transmission, superior noise immunity, and significantly greater durability compared to generic cables.
