KLOTZ KIK3.0PPSW

Klotz KIK3.0PPSW is a 3-metre instrument cable from the KIK series, terminated with two straight 6.35 mm TS jack plugs in black shells with flexible studded rubber sleeves. The KIK cable core — 6.1 mm diameter, 99.95% ETP oxygen-free copper — uses double shielding combining conductive plastic and a copper spiral shield, holding capacitance to 115 pF/m. The solid strain relief element withstands forces exceeding 200 N, protecting internal solder joints against mechanical stress from accidental cable pulls.

3 metres — instrument to amplifier or interface in a small room

Three metres covers the typical distances in a rehearsal room with the amplifier positioned a few steps from the player, in a home studio with the audio interface set apart from the playing position, and on a small stage with a monitor placed just behind the instrumentalist. At 115 pF/m, total capacitance for 3 m is 345 pF — a figure that with humbucker pickups and active pickup systems produces no audible tonal change, and with high-impedance single-coil pickups remains within the range where any frequency response shift is marginal and dependent on the guitar's tone control setting rather than the cable alone. The dual-layer shielding — conductive plastic inside, copper spiral outside — eliminates the influence of electromagnetic interference from effect power supplies, stage lighting, and wireless systems on the short signal path.

Flexible sleeve and 200 N strain relief — daily reliability under any conditions

The flexible studded rubber sleeve at the cable-to-plug junction replaces rigid heat-shrink and allows bending at a short radius without stressing the conductor at the solder point — relevant at jack sockets on the underside or side of guitars with unconventional body profiles and at tightly packed effect inputs on a pedalboard. Strain relief rated above 200 N protects internal connections against the mechanical stress of accidental cable treading or sudden pulls. The lead-free PVC jacket retains flexibility across a wide temperature range and does not stiffen with repeated coiling during tours and rehearsals.
