pro snake Patch Angled Jack 0,30 m
The "Pro snake Patch Angled Jack 0,30m" is about the cheapest little patch lead you will find but the cheap price is not an indication of quality, they might be cheap but they are really well made.
My rig includes a 10 pedal chain so I’m running nine of these patch leads and I don't have any noise issues, I'm not noticing any drop or losses so I’m happy.
The metal angled jacks offer plenty of cable protection but these patch leads also have a piece of heat-shrink tubing at each end of the cable which covers the solder joints and adds further protection and stability, these are well made and durable patch leads.
They seem to be the perfect length, not too long and not too short, just right, I'm running a mixture of pedals in two rows of six with inputs and outputs in various positions on the back and sides and the 30cm cables are just long enough for every joint and excess tucks into my pedal board.
If your joining two identical pedals with sockets on the side the angled jacks allow you to couple them with just 40mm between pedals so they are a really neat solution.
I don't feel the need to pay any more for patch leads, these are great.
I'm giving four star review notnfive only because the metal case does unscrew very easily, I think I will add a little thread lock and they will be perfect, this is the only complaint I have about these leads, highly recommendedHi

I ordered several of these pro snake patch cables with different lengths. Over time and several uses, lots of them broke. Some of them even after just a few days of use.

Because of this, especially if you have lots of pedal in your pedalboard setup, these would not be reliable. If you want to have your pedalboard transported to a gig and when you unpack it to work perfectly, these are not for you since they are not reliable and therefore not build to last.

In my case, I need lots of patch cables to run all my pedalboard in and out through the switch (14 patch cables). That's why I moved to another type of patch cables, in my case, after some investigation, some EBS PCFs. Never regretted the change.

Ordered 4 of those, one solder point already broke. The cable is very neatly wrapped and it looks like high-quality work. Which only meant that I had to dig in and destroy the wrapping before I could fix my cable.

The wiring was barely long enough to touch the contact point. It was held together by a small amount of solder and the aforementioned wrapping.

The jacks are fine, I like them. The cable is a bit thin and it wobbles around, even with the wrapping trying to thicken it up. It's very easy to put strain on the weak contact between wire and jack when you wobble the cable. It needs more wire touching the contact pad and more solder.

Would not trust them for serious gigging. I will be getting into all of these to inspect and strengthen their soldering, which defeats the purpose of buying pre-made cables.

This cable is lightweight and flexible with very good signal clarity. So on the sound aspect, nothing to be disappointed.

To be honest it is not comfortable as I expected due to the thick angled plug but still it is my first choice in my pedalboard. The thickness improves the final quality and durability. I think it competes with way costly cables, I don't hear any difference with other ones.
The overall quality is pretty good, I never had any problem till now.
I suggest to use the one with this lenght to connect something "out of the pedalboard" as a wah or volume pedal, and to use the 0.15m version for standard pedalboard connections.

The quality of those jacks could be better - the metal jack parts are quite huge compared to other brands, also that extra plastic you can see sticking out of the jack is not flexible, so you will barely use it on your pedalboard and makes usable flexible length to be 0,2m. Ecstatically looks 7/10. But keeping in mind the price of those jacks they are what you pay for - cheap but doing it's job.

In terms of sound quality I have nothing to complain about (those jacks even have gold-plated tip!).

Talking about reliability - I'm using these cables for a while now and everything is all good with them. However the jacks are not the neutrik ones, so probably they aren't as reliable as if they were with neutrik, but I still feel safe with them.

I highly recommend these cables/jacks/connectors if you are looking for a cheap cables - I believe these have no competitors in that price range! However If you want to have a heavy-duty/good quality pedalboard I would look up for some greater quality cables.
