Klotz KIK1.5PPSW is a 1.5-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.
1.5 metres — pedalboard connections and short instrument runs
One and a half metres suits applications where minimum cable length is the priority — connecting a guitar to the first effect on a pedalboard, running from the last effect to an amplifier positioned directly beside the player, or linking a keyboard instrument to an audio interface on the same stand or surface. At 115 pF/m, total capacitance for 1.5 m is just 172 pF — a figure that with high-impedance single-coil pickups produces negligible frequency response change, preserving the maximum brightness and openness in the upper register that these pickups deliver at source. The dual-layer shielding — conductive plastic inside, copper spiral outside — provides effective EMI rejection from effect unit power supplies and wireless receivers operating immediately adjacent to the pedalboard, all sources of audible interference in poorly shielded short cables.
Flexible sleeve and 200 N strain relief — mechanical reliability under intensive use
The flexible studded rubber sleeve at the cable-to-plug junction allows the cable to bend at a short radius without stressing the conductor at the solder point — relevant when plugging into jack sockets on the underside or side of guitars with unconventional body profiles, and at effect inputs where space around the socket is restricted. Strain relief rated above 200 N protects internal solder connections against the mechanical stress of accidental cable treading on the pedalboard or sudden pulls during movement on stage. The lead-free PVC jacket retains flexibility regardless of ambient temperature.
