I make these myself.

My buddy is always buying big spools of this low capacitance, shielded 2 conductor cable and I trade him pickups and stuff for smaller spools. Its meant for Pro Video purposes, but has great audio specs for transmitting high impedance, low voltage signals like, say, a guitar signal. Its very light cable and has a tendency to tangle and is easy to break. I typically do not use one of these coming out of my guitar for that reason, but all my patches from tuner-out to amplifier input are this stuff with whatever jacks I have laying around. I usually do L ends. I like them for amp ins.

Apart from the awesome treble response, dynamics and signal-to-noise I make these cables myself because I can cut each one to be precisely the length I need. The cable pictured is meant to daisy chain 2 ac30s together (for when I want to get an old school 2 amp sound bridging 2 different pres). Plus its cheaper than purchasing cables. They're free really. I get the wire in exchange for stuff I'm not using anyway and I tend to use jacks I have laying around from cheap broken cables I am always scooping up when guys discard them. "You're just throwing that cable away? I'll take it!"

This is the second time you've reminded us NOT to discard broken cables as useless trash. I need to do a better job remembering this lesson ;)

recycle, my son will thank you when there are still natural resources and the landfill isn't so big it spills over into his yard....

Homebrew cables

I have made so many custom cables over the past 30 years, I don't how many I have made. This includes 1/4" TS patch cables, guitar cables, pin-tip modular cables, 10 foot and longer twin RCA cables using high grade mic cable, speaker cables from two foot to fifty foot long, video cables, a custom 4-pin to pin-tip keyboard interface cable for my modular system, 4-outlet power cables, DC power cables for multiple modular cabinets, not to mention custom cabling for clients.
