Overview

The Monoprice 109440 is a 3-foot 1/4" TRS patch cable with 90-degree connectors on both ends, built around 16AWG stranded pure copper conductors wrapped in copper braid shielding with 97.5% coverage. That shielding figure is the headline spec for working audio environments — at near-complete coverage, this cable rejects electromagnetic and radio frequency interference at a level that keeps the noise floor inaudible in most studio and stage signal chains. The heavier 16AWG conductors provide lower DC resistance than the 20-24AWG wiring common in budget patch cables, which translates to a signal path that preserves the full frequency range without the subtle high-end rolloff that thinner conductors can introduce over multiple cable runs in a chain.

The dual right-angle design makes this cable purpose-built for pedalboard patching, rack effect loops, and any installation where vertical clearance matters and cable strain needs to be minimized. The TRS wiring supports both balanced mono connections — ideal for running between a mixer's insert points and outboard compressors or EQs — and unbalanced stereo for routing between devices with stereo I/O. Gold-plated plugs ensure the connectors resist tarnishing through repeated use, which is a practical durability feature rather than a sonic one. At this price point and build quality, the Monoprice Premier Series cable is well-suited for studio owners and gigging musicians building out signal chains where cable reliability and noise rejection matter but budgets are realistic.

Key Features

Buy with Confidence: With Monoprice's Lifetime Warranty on all Cables, you can rest assured we stand behind our products and our customers.

This cable features 90-degree TRS/Stereo plugs on each end. It uses 16 AWG stranded, pure copper conductors and employs copper braid shielding with 97.5% coverage

The plugs are gold plated to provide smooth, corrosion-free connections as well as maximum electrical conductivity.

With two separate conductors and the common shield ground, this cable can be used as an unbalanced stereo patch cable or as a balanced mono patch cable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) wiring with two separate conductors and a common shield ground supports balanced mono connections. The 16AWG copper conductors and 97.5% braid shielding provide solid noise rejection on balanced runs at this 3-foot length.
The 90-degree plugs reduce vertical clearance compared to straight connectors, which helps in rack patching and pedalboard layouts. However, they have a standard-width barrel — on very densely packed pedalboards with side-by-side jacks spaced under an inch apart, they may still cause clearance issues.
The cable uses 16AWG stranded pure copper conductors, which is heavier than the 20-24AWG found in most budget patch cables. At 3 feet, this gauge is more than sufficient — the lower resistance ensures minimal signal loss and a clean, full-frequency signal path.
Gold plating primarily prevents oxidation and corrosion, ensuring a reliable electrical connection over time rather than an inherent tonal improvement. The practical benefit is that these connectors maintain consistent contact resistance through repeated plug/unplug cycles, which matters more in live and studio environments where cables are frequently swapped.
Yes. The TRS wiring supports unbalanced stereo signal (left on tip, right on ring, ground on sleeve). At 3 feet, it works well as a short headphone extension or stereo patch between devices, though the right-angle connectors may be awkward for headphone use depending on the jack orientation.
