Lava Cable Solder-Free Kit RA Nickel Black

General

Those who like to change their pedal board setup frequently will have surely noticed that standard patch cables often don't measure up. With the Lava Cable Solder-Free Kit, you can make your own patch cables without the need to solder! You don't have to be an experienced electrical technician to make your own cables, all you need is the included multi-tool. In only five easy steps, you'll be able to put together your own high-quality patch cables. Both the cable and the plugs are designed for an optimal signal to noise ratio and are perfectly compatible.

Lava Cable Solder-Free Kit: components and plugs

This kit contains a 25cm-long, black Mini ELC cable, ten straight plugs and a practical multi-tool. A standard cable tends to lose a lot of the signal at the spots where it was soldered, between the core and the plugs. A cable that hasn't been soldered is therefore a great benefit, but Lava Cable takes it one step further. Instead of using a screw to connect the plug to the cable, the U.S.A-based company uses a specially-designed, robust grounding sleeve for an even more reliable signal.

Lava Cable Solder-Free Kit: Mini ELC cable

When it comes to instrument and patch cables, sound is the most important factor. This capacity is measured in picofarad per foot (pF/ft), and the higher the capacity, the more signal loss in the higher frequencies. To make a long story short, the Mini ELC cable has an extraordinarily low capacity due to its core, which is 99.99% pure OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper). This same high-quality copper is also used for the braided internal sleeve to protect the cable from noise. Once assembled, the cable has a superb signal to noise ratio.
