CBI Cables (Caldwell Bennett Inc.) is a family-owned cable manufacturer based in Oriskany, New York, founded in 1981. The company builds audio, video, data, lighting, and power cabling for the music retail, recording studio, live sound, broadcast, and installation markets, with all assemblies produced at its Upstate New York facility.
The brand is best known among musicians for its American-made instrument and microphone cables, including the GA-1 guitar/instrument cable and the Ultimate series. CBI products are built using components from suppliers such as Belden, Switchcraft, G&H, and Neutrik, and the company offers audio snakes, speaker cables, DMX lighting cables, BNC video cables, bulk wire, connectors, adapters, and custom cable designs.
CBI's instrument cables ship with a 10-year limited warranty and are sold through major music retailers including American Musical Supply, zZounds, and Reverb, alongside independent dealers. The company's focus on domestic manufacturing and pro-audio installation work has given it a reputation as a workhorse cable supplier rather than a boutique or signature-driven brand.
