Choosing among instrument accessories often comes down to a very practical question: what connector setup, length, and cable style actually matches the gear you plan to use? In this group, three choices are centered on guitar or musical-instrument connections, while one is a 7-meter XLR/TRS-style audio cable aimed at a different kind of setup. The listed prices run from USD 39.77 to USD 114.73, so the biggest decision is whether you need a straightforward instrument cable or the more specialized STX807 format.
Quick take
- Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable, 15' angled version: Best fit if you want a Fender-branded black instrument cable with a 1/4" straight-to-angle connector arrangement and a 15' length.
- Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable, 18.6' angled version: Best fit if you want the same general Fender Professional Series style with a longer 18.6' length and 22-gauge conductor.
- Strummer Pro Straight to Straight Instrument Cable: Best fit if you want the lowest listed price in this set, a 13' length, drab green color, and straight-to-straight 1/4" connectors.
- STX807 7-Meter Professional Audio Cable for Superior Sound Quality: Best fit if your setup specifically calls for an XLR cable with 1/4 inch TRS to XLR3M compatibility and a 7-meter length.
The simplest split is connector type. The Fender and Strummer Pro choices are aimed at musical instruments with 1/4" connectors. The STX807 is the outlier: it is listed as an XLR cable with a male-to-female connector configuration and 1/4 inch TRS to XLR3M compatibility.

Concise product notes
Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable, Guitar Accessories, S - USD 50.99
This Fender option is the one to focus on if you want a black instrument cable for a musical instrument with male-to-male 1/4" straight and 1/4" angle connectors. The description calls out a 15' angled instrument format, an 8mm PVC jacket, 22-gauge conductor, nickel-plated connectors, and spiral shielding, which gives it a clear identity as a guitar-oriented accessory. The limitation is that it is not the lowest-priced Fender cable in this set, and its connector arrangement is less universal than a straight-to-straight cable if your preferred routing works better with two straight ends.
Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable, Guitar Accessories, S - USD 44.99
This second Fender Professional Series choice is appealing if the extra length matters: the description lists an 18.6' angled instrument cable, still with 1/4" straight and 1/4" angle connectors. It also lists a 22-gauge conductor, 8mm PVC jacket, nickel-plated connectors, and black color, so it keeps the same general guitar-accessory profile while sitting at a lower listed price than the other Fender entry. The tradeoff is the cable type is shown as AUX rather than Instrument Cable, so shoppers comparing the two Fender entries may prefer the other one when matching the cable type label is the deciding factor.
Strummer Pro Straight to Straight Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable, Guitar Accesso - USD 39.77
The Strummer Pro cable stands out for two reasons: it is the lowest listed price in the comparison and it uses a straight-to-straight 1/4" connector configuration. Its drab green color, 13' length, Joe Strummer signature on the shrink wrap, 23-gauge conductor, 8mm PVC wire jacket, and 90% oxygen-free copper spiral shielding make it the most visually distinct of the instrument-cable choices. The main limitation is that it does not offer an angled plug, so it may be less convenient for players who specifically want a straight-to-angle connector arrangement for their instrument or pedalboard layout.
STX807 7-Meter Professional Audio Cable for Superior Sound Quality - USD 114.73
The STX807 is the specialized pick in this group. Instead of a standard guitar-cable profile, it is listed as a 7-meter XLR cable with 1/4 inch TRS to XLR3M compatibility, male-to-female connector gender, and black color. The description also identifies it as an XLR Male-to-1/4" TRS Male 8-channel snake, so it makes sense only when that connection style is what your audio setup calls for. Its limitation is equally clear: it is the highest listed price here, and it is not the natural substitute for the Fender or Strummer Pro 1/4" instrument-cable options.
How to choose among these instrument accessories
Start with the connector. If your gear needs 1/4" straight-to-angle, the two Fender Professional Series entries are the relevant comparison. If your gear works better with 1/4" straight-to-straight, the Strummer Pro is the cleaner match. If you are looking at 1/4 inch TRS to XLR3M compatibility, the STX807 is the only product here built around that format.
Next, think about length. The Strummer Pro is listed at 13', the Fender entries list 15' and 18.6' versions, and the STX807 is 7 meters. Longer is not automatically better; it depends on how far your instrument or audio gear needs to reach while keeping the connector type correct.
Color and appearance may also matter. The Fender and STX807 options are black, while the Strummer Pro is drab green and includes Joe Strummer signature styling. If the cable will be visible on stage or in a room setup, that difference may be part of the choice.
Finally, compare the price spread only after the format is right. Saving money on the wrong connector type is not useful. The three guitar-oriented options are relatively close together, while the STX807 sits apart because its XLR/TRS-style purpose is different.
Final recommendation
For most guitar-focused shoppers comparing these instrument accessories, the Strummer Pro Straight to Straight Instrument Cable is the strongest starting point if straight 1/4" ends work for your setup, because it has the lowest listed price and a distinct 13' drab green design. Choose the Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable at USD 50.99 if you specifically want a Fender instrument cable with a straight-to-angle connector layout, or the Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable at USD 44.99 if the 18.6' length is the more useful Fender configuration.
Choose the STX807 7-Meter Professional Audio Cable for Superior Sound Quality only when its XLR cable type, 1/4 inch TRS to XLR3M compatibility, and 7-meter length match the equipment you are connecting. Its listed price is far above the others, but it is also serving a different connection need than the three standard musical-instrument cable choices.
