SAXLX-2 - 10 Pack of Green 2 Foot XLR Patch Cables
The SAXLX-2 10-pack delivers professional XLR patch cables in green for musicians, DJs, schools, recording studios, broadcasters, and churches. These 2-foot balanced cables handle the short connections between mixers, processors, and amplifiers where space is tight and organization matters.
Each cable features metal 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female) that lock securely and maintain solid connections through repeated plugging and unplugging. The heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket protects the internal conductors while remaining pliable enough for tight routing behind racks and around equipment.
Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and proper shielding, these patch cables maintain clean signal transfer in electrically noisy environments. The bright green color coding makes it easy to trace signal paths in complex setups, while the 2-foot length keeps patch bays and rack connections neat without excess cable clutter.
Perfect for connecting outboard gear in studios, linking processing units in live sound racks, or creating organized patch bay setups. The short length works well for mixer-to-processor connections, crossover-to-amplifier links, and equipment rack patching where longer cables create unnecessary loops.
To connect equipment, attach the female connector to your source output and the male connector to your destination input. All ten cables use standard XLR pinout and work with any balanced audio equipment. Seismic Audio backs each cable with a one-year warranty and ships them ready to use straight from the package.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are these 2-foot XLR cables best used for?
These patch cables excel at short connections between audio equipment in racks, patch bays, and mixing setups. The 2-foot length is ideal for connecting mixers to processors, linking crossovers to amplifiers, or patching between outboard gear without creating cable clutter. They work well in professional audio applications where equipment is positioned close together.
Can I use these cables for microphones?
Yes, these are standard XLR cables that work perfectly for microphones, though the 2-foot length limits their usefulness to very close miking situations. Most vocal and instrument applications require longer cables, but these work well for drum overheads, piano miking, or any setup where the microphone is within two feet of your mixer or preamp.
Why choose green cables over black ones?
Green cables provide instant visual identification in complex audio setups, making it easier to trace signal paths and troubleshoot connections. Many engineers use color coding systems where different colors represent different signal types or destinations. This helps prevent mistakes during setup and makes maintenance much faster in busy live sound or studio environments.
Can these cables be used with DMX lighting equipment?
While these cables have 3-pin XLR connectors that physically fit DMX equipment, there's an impedance mismatch that can cause issues. Audio XLR cables are designed for 75-ohm impedance, while DMX signals require 120-ohm impedance. Using audio cables for DMX may work for short runs or temporary setups, but can result in data errors, signal reflections, or unreliable lighting control. For permanent DMX installations, dedicated DMX cables with proper 120-ohm impedance are recommended to ensure reliable data transmission.
Are these cables compatible with all XLR equipment?
These cables use the standard XLR pinout (Pin 1 ground, Pin 2 hot, Pin 3 cold) and work with all professional audio equipment that uses balanced XLR connections. This includes mixers, preamps, processors, amplifiers, and powered speakers from any manufacturer following industry standards.
