I used this cable to make patch cables and jacks guitar 3m. RAS patch cable, it is a little thick, but solid and reliable. In instrument cable, I keep to interconnect the pedals to the amp, or repeats, but not live: he tends to tangle easily, the lining materials does not slip at all, it is quite difficult to unravel, and it's not very good for the cable either. For an instrument cable, I take the black spirit sommer cable. In terms of performance, I have not noticed any obvious difference between the two.
