The SASTSX-2 Purple TS patch cables are essential for connecting unbalanced audio equipment in your live sound rig, studio rack, or guitar setup. This 6-pack of 2-foot cables gives you the right length for clean rack connections without excess cable cluttering your signal path.

Each cable features 1/4" TS male connectors on both ends, designed for unbalanced connections between mixers, equalizers, crossovers, compressors, effects units, and amplifiers. The 2-foot length is ideal for tight rack spaces where you need reliable connections without cable loops or tangles.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and shielded construction, these cables maintain signal integrity across your audio chain. The heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket withstands repeated setup and breakdown cycles, while the purple color makes identification easy in complex setups. Professional-grade connectors ensure solid contact and long-term reliability.

Perfect for live sound engineers organizing PA system racks, studio engineers connecting outboard gear, or guitarists linking pedals and amplifiers. The 2-foot length works well in standard 19-inch equipment racks or pedalboard connections where longer cables would create unwanted loops.

Each cable terminates in standard 1/4" TS plugs that connect directly to unbalanced inputs and outputs on your audio equipment. The 6-pack provides enough cables for multiple connections while keeping spares on hand.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping to get your rig connected and ready to perform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between TS and TRS patch cables?

TS (tip-sleeve) cables like the SASTSX-2 carry unbalanced mono signals, while TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) cables carry balanced signals or stereo signals. Use TS cables for connecting guitar pedals, unbalanced mixer outputs, or instrument-level connections. TRS cables are better for balanced line-level connections between professional audio equipment.

Are 2-foot patch cables long enough for standard equipment racks?

Yes, 2-foot patch cables are the standard length for connecting equipment within a 19-inch rack. This length provides enough reach between rack units without creating excess cable that can cause signal issues or clutter. For connections between separate racks or across longer distances, you'll need longer cables.

Can I use these cables for guitar and bass connections?

Absolutely. TS patch cables work perfectly for connecting guitars and basses to amplifiers, pedals, or direct boxes. The 2-foot length is ideal for pedalboard connections or short runs from instrument to amp. The shielded construction helps reduce noise pickup from stage lighting and other electrical interference.

How many patch cables do I typically need for a rack setup?

Most rack setups require 4-8 patch cables depending on your equipment. A typical setup might need cables for mixer to EQ, EQ to crossover, crossover to amplifiers, and effects loop connections. The 6-pack provides enough cables for most basic rack configurations with a couple spares.

What audio equipment connects with unbalanced TS cables?

TS patch cables connect mixers to equalizers, compressors, crossovers, and power amplifiers that have unbalanced inputs and outputs. They're also used for guitar and bass instrument cables, effects pedal connections, and linking consumer audio equipment. Professional balanced equipment typically uses TRS or XLR connections instead.
