SACB-8x4x100 8-Channel XLR Low Profile Circuit Board Snake Cable, 100-Feet

This is Mike snake excellent price and works excellent

The cable quality is good, it is flexible and sturdy. The connectors on the cable are generic, not Neutrik quality but better than Chinese Switchcraft. Nicely numbered. I took the box end apart to see how I might drill holes in it to screw it down. The 8 screws did not turn easily and as a result the heads got chewed up a little bit. Not really a big deal, but indicative of the corners cut on a "value" item. The connections from the cable to the connectors is all done on a circuit board, and all the cable shields are common. Changing out a bad jack could be a bit of work, because two screws from each connector have to come out, and you need to be able to find the same or very similar replacement connector. I think this would be perfect in the small studio, or a sheltered environment like I bought it for - board member microphones for monthly meetings. But if you are going to be on tour, beating this up every day, spend a bit more. Buy brand name connectors, and opt for wiring terminated directly to individually replaceable jacks. Don't get me wrong, I like this, and I think you will too, stick with Whirlwind, ProCo, or the other brands well established with big touring gigs.UPDATE: 02 22 2024. Due to a change in the installation, I had to unsolder all the XLR's to pass the cable through a small hole in a cabinet. When soldering on XLR male connectors, I push them onto the edge of a cardboard box to hold them in position. Been doing using that trick for years. I discovered that the plastic connector piece that holds the contact will soften with the heat of the soldering iron. I had to reheat a few pins to realign them. So if you need to remove and replace an end, plug the connector into an XLR female to hold things in position. The snake is working well for us and people are pleased the cables are finally organized.

Works as its advertised

SNAKE WAS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED, QUATLITY AND PRICE ARE SUPPERB

This is a great snake with everything you need to run sound for a small to moderate venue. I tested all of the input and output channels upon arrival, and everything worked great. The snake comes with protective covers on both ends to protect the ins/outs from dust when not in use. It's also nice and compact, so it easily fits in the back of my rack unit (photo included for perspective), so it's always there if I need it.I'm not a professional sound engineer, and I don't play a lot of gigs, but when I do, it's very difficult to mix audio from the stage. Running a snake to a front-of-house area where someone with a good ear and even minimal engineering experience can adjust the mix is always going to be better.
