First of all: lets clear the air. I can hear some of you now thinking "But Practical Patch, I've just looked at your Evidence Audio Connector Patch Cables and they've told me all other types of connector are inferior to theirs, why are you selling anything else but those!?" 

 

Well heres my justification. First of all I source these connectors in the UK. They are made in Taiwan. My man Steve who I have bought from even before I began this cable company orders (last time we spoke) about three and half thousand of these connectors every quarter or more and sells out regularly. Who does he sell to? Well other cable makers of course and DIY guys probably all across the continant and not just the UK. 

 

How do I know other cable makers are using Steves plugs? I know they are Steves because they are unique to other Pancake type connectors. Within these connectors as pictured above, is what Steve refers to as a Phenolic Laminate disc. This disc, unlike plastic or metal is VERY strong and it holds the pole piece for the connectors tip in postion perfectly. 

 

Without a word of a lie every connector I buy has to pass the punch and kick test. I literally place the connector in a special box I had made by James at Bright Onion UK and I physically hit the things as hard as I can. Some have broken, these connectors have never broken at all.

 

So to conclude, indeed, despite being highly durable these connectors may not have the same magic materials as the other offering. As I've sold thousands over the years however, they are here to stay. I also like Steve :-) I hope that clears up any hesitation to buy "cheaper" first time round or again in the future.

An ordering guide for all Practical Patch Patch Cables:

 

Practical Patch works on the philosophy that you will order that which you actually require therefore charges a flat rate between 9cm-100cm of Van Damme Pro Patch cable used. For Patch cables at a length greater than 100cm and up to a maximum of 200cm an additional £1.30 is charged. To purchase a Patch cable beyond 100cm in length please select "note" in the drop down length menu and use the text field provided to write the length you require. 

 

Length chosen will be provided as the length of visible cable between each connector.

 

It is advised that when measuring patch cables, specifically for pedalboards, that you provide the length required from socket to socket by its longest route you have planned, this length you provide will be the minimum length of the cable you receive. 

 

One of the best ways to measure with what you possibly have lying around is to use a piece of string and a marker pen. Once you have created your cable run, mark the length of the string and then, measure the length against a ruler or a firm measuring tape. 

 

Orientation:

Zeta VS Omega: As pictured this dictates whether or not the connectors are pointing in the same or opposite directions. Ordering in Zeta is only really essential when ordering cables unde r15cm in length or choosing when choosing a less flexable offering such as Sommer the Spirit XXL Patch Cables which are available on the website.
