Mogami GOLD INST SILENT R 18 18' Guitar Cable

The Mogami GOLD INST SILENT R-18 is an 18-foot instrument cable built for guitar, bass, acoustic-electric, keyboard, and pedal-based rigs using 1/4-inch TS connections. It combines a right-angle Neutrik silentPLUG on the instrument end with a straight Neutrik connector on the amplifier or pedal end. This layout helps keep the instrument-side connection compact while providing a conventional straight connection at the other end.

The right-angle silentPLUG is designed for musicians who need to change instruments during a session or performance without the usual disconnect pop. Its internal switching mechanism silences the cable while it is unplugged. The red-finished silentPLUG end also makes it easy to identify which side belongs at the instrument.

This cable is made with Mogami 2524 instrument cable, using an oxygen-free copper conductor and a conductive PVC sub-shield. The cable construction is intended for unbalanced, high-impedance instrument signals. Its carbon-impregnated PVC layer helps reduce handling-related noise when the cable moves during use.

An ultra-high-density served spiral shield surrounds the cable construction to support noise rejection in stage, rehearsal, recording, and home music setups. The 18-foot length provides useful reach between an instrument and an amplifier, pedalboard, or interface without requiring an extension. Both ends use 1/4-inch TS male connectors for standard mono instrument connections.

The GOLD INST SILENT R-18 is a practical upgrade for players who want a dedicated cable for a primary instrument connection. Its right-angle plug can suit recessed or side-mounted instrument jacks, while the straight plug can connect to an amp or pedalboard input. Mogami includes a lifetime warranty with this Gold Instrument Silent series cable.

Design & Installation

The cable uses black Mogami 2524 wire with a 6.0 mm outer diameter, a conductive carbon PVC sub-shield, a served OFC main shield, and a flexible PVC outer jacket. The silentPLUG is a Neutrik right-angle 1/4-inch TS male connector, and the opposite end is a straight Neutrik 1/4-inch TS male connector. The right-angle silent connector has a red finish for quick identification.

Connect the right-angle silentPLUG to the instrument and the straight plug to an amplifier input, pedalboard input, or other compatible 1/4-inch TS instrument input. The cable is intended for unbalanced instrument connections, not balanced TRS or speaker-level connections. For silent instrument changes, leave the receiving equipment connected and use the silentPLUG end at the instrument.
