Gator GCWH-INS-03 3FT Straight to Straight Guitar Instrument Cable

Compact and Reliable Instrument Cable for Tight Setups
The Gator GCWH-INS-03 Headliner Series 3-foot instrument cable is the go-to solution when you need a high-quality connection without excess length. Designed with short runs in mind—such as pedalboard connections, desktop rigs, or tight stage setups—this cable ensures clear, consistent signal transfer between your gear with minimal capacitance or interference. Plug in with confidence knowing your tone stays intact from source to destination.

Low Capacitance for Preserving Your Tone
Signal degradation is a real issue, especially with budget cables. The GCWH-INS-03 combats that with ultra-low capacitance that maintains a full-frequency signal from your instrument to your amp or interface. By minimizing resistance, the cable avoids tone roll-off, keeping your highs crisp and your lows tight—a feature particularly important for guitarists, bassists, and keyboard players looking to protect their sound.

High-Quality Conductors and Shielding
This 3-foot cable uses fine-stranded 99.99% oxygen-free copper for the conductor, which is then tin-plated to improve resistance to corrosion over time. Its braided shielding helps reject unwanted interference, maintaining clean signal transfer in live and studio environments. Combined with a 22 AWG construction, this cable balances durability with sonic performance.

Built for the Road with Gold-Plated Plugs and PVC Jacket
The GCWH-INS-03 includes premium gold-plated brass plugs for optimal conductivity and long-lasting performance, even under frequent plugging and unplugging. Its 7mm thick soft PVC jacket is flexible but durable, providing extra protection against tangling, kinks, and stage hazards. Whether coiled in a gear bag or permanently set in a pedalboard, this cable holds up.

Proprietary Connector Design and Easy Identification
Featuring Gator’s patent-pending Cableworks proprietary connectors, the GCWH-INS-03 offers chuck-style strain relief clamps to protect your solder joints and prevent pullout. For added convenience, the cable also includes TORIColor ID rings—color-coded bands that make identifying cables during quick setups a breeze, especially in multi-cable rigs.
