Klotz PROK030PP is a 3-metre instrument cable from the PRO ARTIST series, terminated with two straight 6.35 mm jack plugs. The 6.5 mm diameter cable core uses double screening — bare copper spiral shield plus conductive plastic layer — holding capacitance to 95 pF/m. The straight-to-straight configuration at 3 metres suits precision routing scenarios: effect pedal inputs on a densely packed board, amplifier send/return loops, keyboard outputs to a mixer or audio interface, or any short run where a flat, controlled cable exit on both ends is the priority.
3 metres, 95 pF/m — minimum load on the signal path
Total cable capacitance at this length sits at approximately 285 pF. With typical passive pickup output impedances, the resulting low-pass corner frequency falls well outside the audible range — no rolloff of upper harmonics, no softened transient response, even with high-impedance single-coil pickups that react most strongly to capacitive loading. The dual-layer screen blocks mains-induced interference and stage RF without adding capacitance in the process. The PVC jacket is compounded with specialist plasticizers that keep the cable supple and electrically stable regardless of storage temperature or how frequently the cable is coiled and uncoiled between rehearsals and performances.
Straight-to-straight — clean routing on boards and in rack systems
Two straight plugs allow the cable to run flat along the pedalboard surface, avoiding the protrusion that angled connectors create when space between pedals is tight. On rack units, the straight exit keeps the cable parallel to the front panel, making loom management straightforward. Metal nickel shells on both connectors include a heat-shrink anti-kink sleeve at the cable exit — protecting the conductor from fatigue fractures at the highest-stress point in any cable assembly. Gold-plated contacts on both ends maintain stable, low contact resistance across the full service life of the cable through repeated daily connections.
