Audio cable Hosa CPP-103 — 6.35 mm male to male, 0.91 m, black

Hosa CPP-103 is a 6.35 mm male-to-male audio cable, 0.91 m long, designed to connect instruments, amplifiers, mixers and other pro-audio devices that use standard unbalanced phone jacks. The cable features nickel-plated plugs and an oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductor with an OFC spiral shield to help preserve signal clarity while offering flexibility and resistance to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. Its black jacket and compact length make it suitable for stage patching and studio setups where reliable short interconnects are required.

Advantages

The nickel-plated 6.35 mm plugs provide durable contact surfaces and consistent connections for frequent use. The oxygen-free copper conductor improves tonal transparency compared with standard conductors, while the OFC spiral shield reduces EMI and RFI pickup, helping maintain a cleaner signal in electrically noisy environments. The cable’s 0.91 m length keeps signal paths short to minimize potential noise and latency in unbalanced connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting electric guitars, basses and keyboards to amplifiers or pedals
• Patch connections on pedalboards and stage racks
• Short runs between studio outboard gear, DI boxes and mixing consoles
• Connecting line-level devices with unbalanced 6.35 mm phone jacks

Key specifications

• Connector type: 6.35 mm (1/4") TS male to 6.35 mm TS male
• Cable length: 0.91 m
• Conductor: Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC)
• Shielding: OFC spiral shield for EMI/RFI rejection
• Contact plating: Nickel-plated plugs
• Colour: Black
• Cable use: Unbalanced audio interconnects for instruments and line-level devices

How to use

Insert one 6.35 mm TS plug into the instrument or line-level output and the other plug into the amplifier, pedal, mixer input or other destination with a 6.35 mm phone jack. Ensure connectors are fully seated to avoid intermittent contacts. For best results with unbalanced connections, keep cable runs short and avoid routing alongside power cables to reduce the chance of noise pickup. Inspect plugs periodically and clean contacts if corrosion or build-up is observed.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for short instrument and patch connections where an unbalanced TS link is appropriate. Avoid relying on unbalanced cabling for long runs; for longer distances or when balanced audio is required, select a balanced cable or use DI boxes and balanced paths to maintain signal integrity.
