This cable is listed as an instrument cable. Is it appropriate to be used as a speaker cable to connect a guitar amp head to a speaker cabinet? Is it correctly shielded?

BEST ANSWER: Its not a speaker cable. Will it work in a pinch? Yes. But you are risking your gear.

Absolutely not. The wires in this cable are not thick enough to use as speaker cables. Buy speaker cables for connection between the guitar amp head unit and the speaker cabinet.

Mark F's answer is better than my own earlier one. That is, this cable may well work, but it's the wrong product for the job.

No. Use a dedicated speaker cable.

BEST ANSWER: These will work very well for that purpose. Any of our 1/4" will do fine at 3'. If you need to run longer cables above 25' you will want to see if your gear has balanced 1/4" (TRS) jacks. The balanced 1/4" cables are less susceptible to interference and noise.

You need to understand the pinout you need and buy accordingly. TRS may be needed for the EFX insert it depends on the unit.
This is two wires and sends a simple audio signal between two points.

Fine so far
Not super flexible as others have mentioned but not being moved in my studio so not a problem. So far so good, only been 2 weeks.

Well Made & Manageable Cloth Cable
The cables look good and may not be as tough for the long haul but are hard to beat for the price. They have worked well for the last couple of gigs and the multiple colors/patterns will be a benefit in the future. I'll be getting more.

3FT Cloth Patch Chords
These are good chords at a great price.. I use them to plug into an EQ pedal that sits on the top of my acoustic amp, connecting to the effects loop on the back panel of the amp. The length is practical, which is the reason I bought them. Monoprice offers the various lengths in an easy to order format. I like being able to solve the issues I encounter customizing my various rigs.

3'ft. Cords
Ordered a pair of these to replace the over sized 10ft cables I was using. So far they seem pretty durable.
The price and the shipping were excellent!
Will definitely order from Monoprice again.

Excellent value
Bought these to use for synth patching - excellent build quality. Only had them for a few weeks so do not know about the durability but they look to be nicely built and expecting them to last for a long long time.

Quarter inch signal cables
These cables have become an integral part of my live rig. I find their quality to be roadworthy and quiet.
PROS: I like the gold plating for corrosion resistance. The heat shrink tubing is a nice touch. Great price!!!
CONS: I'm not crazy about the gold colored stripe on the cable itself.
