MIDI cable for device interconnection

This 5 ft cable is designed to interconnect MIDI devices using a 5-pin discrete wiring scheme. It is compatible with all MIDI standards, including SysEx, ensuring reliable communication between controllers, interfaces and sound modules.

Oxygen-free copper conductor

The oxygen-free copper conductor reduces signal loss and corrosion over time. Molded connectors provide strain relief and a secure fit, so the cable withstands repeated connection and disconnection in studio or stage environments.

Suits musicians and technicians linking MIDI gear

Ideal for anyone connecting keyboards, controllers or audio interfaces that use standard 5-pin MIDI ports. Not suitable for users who require longer runs beyond 5 ft, need right-angle plugs for tight spaces, or want multi-channel audio transmission over a single cable.

Questions about this item

Will the oxygen-free copper conductors need replacing after extended use?

The oxygen-free copper conductors are built for long-term reliability and do not require scheduled replacement under normal operation.

What is the first limitation when running long SysEx transfers continuously?

The 5 ft length sets the practical distance limit; signal integrity is maintained within this span for all MIDI standards including SysEx.

Does the molded construction affect heat or noise during all-day studio sessions?

The passive cable generates no heat or electrical noise, and the molded connectors add no active components that would change thermal or acoustic behaviour.
