You know the drill — you've got your rack full of gear, and suddenly you're staring at a rat's nest of random cables trying to connect everything. These SASTSX-2 patch cables are what you need to clean that mess up. Eight identical 2-foot TS cables that'll handle all your standard rack connections without the cable spaghetti.

The 2-foot length is the sweet spot for rack gear — long enough to reach between units without strain, short enough that you're not dealing with excess cable loops cluttering up your rack. Whether you're patching between your mixer and compressor, running effects loops, or connecting crossovers to amps, these handle the standard unbalanced 1/4" TS connections that most rack gear uses.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper and proper shielding, so your signal stays clean through the chain. The rubber jacket can take the abuse of constant plugging/unplugging during setup and teardown. Nothing fancy here — just solid, reliable patch cables that do what they're supposed to do.

These also work for instrument applications if you need them — guitar to amp, bass connections, pedalboard patches. The black finish keeps everything looking professional when clients or venue managers are watching your setup.

Bottom line: If you're tired of hunting down random patch cables every time you set up your rack, this 8-pack gives you a complete set of matching cables that'll handle most small to medium live sound rigs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these TS or TRS cables, and does it matter?

These are TS (unbalanced) cables, which is what you want for most rack gear connections. Your compressors, EQs, crossovers, and most guitar amps expect unbalanced TS connections. TRS balanced cables are for different applications — mixing consoles, some powered speakers, and studio monitors. For standard rack patching, TS is correct.

How many do I actually need for a typical live rig?

For a basic 4-6 channel mixer with a compressor, EQ, and crossover, you'll use 6-8 patches easily. This pack covers that plus gives you a couple spares for when something inevitably goes bad mid-gig. If you're running a larger system, you might need two packs.

Will these work for my guitar pedalboard?

Absolutely. The 2-foot length is perfect for pedal-to-pedal connections on a pedalboard. They're also great for short guitar-to-amp connections if your amp is close to where you're playing. For longer stage runs, you'd want a proper instrument cable.

Can I use these to connect my mixer outputs to powered speakers?

Check your speaker inputs first. Many powered speakers use XLR or TRS balanced inputs, and these are unbalanced TS cables. If your speakers have 1/4" TS inputs, these will work fine. But don't use unbalanced cables for long runs to speakers — you'll pick up noise.
