Hosa CSS-802 Balanced Snake — 1/4 in TRS to Same, 2m
CSS-802 Overview
The Hosa CSS-802 is a 2-meter balanced snake cable terminated with 1/4 in TRS connectors on both ends, purpose-built for interconnecting professional audio equipment with balanced phone jacks. It is well-suited for use with mixing consoles and patch bays in studio, live, and installed sound environments. Construction centers on Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors paired with OFC spiral shielding for clean signal transfer and effective interference rejection. This cable is a practical choice for audio engineers, system integrators, and technicians who need dependable balanced connectivity in demanding signal chain applications.
The OFC spiral shield construction provides both flexibility for routing in tight rack environments and consistent protection against EMI and RFI, making the CSS-802 a reliable workhorse for everyday patching and permanent installations alike.
