Guitar Mania note to the wise:
No cable is indestructable ! Any cable CAN break if:
You trip over it – this stretches the cable and might cause a fracture or failure in the actual metal core or at the solder end.
Bend it severely – if you bend it too far past 90 degrees harshly you will cause weakness or fracture the internal structure of the cable.
Excessive twisting – this is the same as stretch it. It can cause internal stress and fracture to the actual core of the cable as well as the braided sheilding.
Incorrect storage – There are various YouTube clips on how best to store your cables. But avoid them getting knotted up as this will cause twisting and bending (see above)
Incorrect use – This is an instrument cable. It is designed for instruments. It is NOT designed to be used as a speaker cable. It is not suited to carry the higher voltage and current from an amplifier to a speaker. In other words do not plug this into the “speaker” socket!!! It may work for a while but it might damage the cable and / or the amplifier. Speaker cables are unshielded, have thicker cores and actually more similar to a mains cable.

STANDARD INSTRUMENT CABLE
DCIS5
MXR instrument cables are designed by musicians for musicians with tone and durability in mind.
Sweet Spot capacitance means these cables are designed to translate the right tonal harmonics from pickups that enable both guitars and basses to sound big and rich, whether acoustic or electric. Oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors keep your instrument’s tone pure and OFC spiral shielding blocks unwanted interference while keeping the cable flexible and lightweight. PVC outer jacket enhances flexibility and noise rejection while providing additional protection.
Available in 5′ (straight-straight ends) and 15′ (straight/straight and straight/right-angle ends) lengths in addition to 10′ and 20′. Limited lifetime warranty available worldwide
