Professional grade feel
I use these for all my stage cables now. They hold up well under the stress of being plugged and unplugged constantly during gigs.

Good quality, tight fit
These are solid connectors. They were a bit tight on my thicker cables, but once I got them on, the connection is very secure. No crackling noises.

Great value pack
Getting two in a pack is convenient. I keep one as a spare in my gig bag. The straight design is exactly what I needed for my pedalboard patch cables.

Perfect for DIY cable repair
I had a few expensive instrument cables with broken ends. These connectors fit perfectly and were easy to solder. The nickel plating looks great and feels sturdy.

Saved my favorite bass cable
My dog chewed through my main bass cable. Instead of buying a new one, I cut the bad end off and installed this ZL connector. Works like new!

Requires good soldering skills
The product itself is fine, but if you aren't experienced with a soldering iron, you might struggle. The terminals are small. Once installed though, it works well.
Q: What is the maximum cable thickness this can handle?
A: The strain relief clamp is designed to securely hold cables with an outer diameter between 6.0mm and 7.0mm.
Q: Will this fit a standard guitar cable?
A: Yes, this connector is designed for standard 6.35mm (1/4 inch) instrument cables commonly used for electric guitars and basses.
Q: Does the package include heat shrink tubing?
A: No, the package includes only the metal jack connectors. You will need to provide your own heat shrink tubing or insulation for a finished look.
Q: Is this compatible with balanced TRS cables?
A: This is a TS (Tip-Sleeve) mono connector, typically used for unbalanced instrument signals. It is not suitable for balanced TRS connections.
Q: Do I need any special tools to install this?
A: You will need a soldering iron, solder, wire strippers, and possibly a small screwdriver depending on your specific cable assembly method.
