Canare GS-6 OFC Instrument Cable 100m Spool (Black)

A specially designed Oxygen Free Copper 18 AWG cable for connecting Guitar/Bass or Keyboards to amps, mixers, effects pedals and all outboard signal processing gear. Low capacitance and low series resistance provides improved frequency response (flat to 50kHz). A bright, ringing characteristic sound is preserved, even when using HI-Z guitar pickups with long cable runs. The proprietary double Carbon/Braid Copper shield construction eliminates microphonic handling noise, especially on stage where amps are often set at maximum volume levels. Also highly recommended for Amp Head to Speaker Cabinet leads.

Features

• Stays Flexible even in Sub-Zero Weather
• Oxygen Free Copper Conductor & Shield
• Reduced Microphonic Handling Noise
• Low Capacitance & Resistance

The GS-6 center conductor is 127 strands of 0.1 mm oxygen-free copper (1.0 mm2, 18 AWG), which is why the cable survives years of coiling on stage. Under the 92 percent OFC braid sits a layer of carbon plastic shield that blocks handling noise; take care during termination, because that conductive layer will short the signal if it touches the center conductor. Polyethylene insulation and a PVC jacket bring the outer diameter to 5.8 mm.
