Quick verdict
An instrument cable choice often comes down to two practical questions: how much room you need between instrument and amp, and whether an angled plug suits your setup. The Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable is the pick for a 15-foot run with one straight and one angled 1/4-inch connector. The Professional Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable 10 Ft is the simpler choice when 10 feet and straight 1/4-inch connectors fit the space.
The listed-price spread is $21.23: the 10-foot cable is listed at $29.76, while the 15-foot Fender cable is listed at $50.99. Both list a black finish, 95% oxygen-free spiral shielding, an 8 mm PVC jacket, a 22-gauge conductor, and nickel-plated connectors.

Where each cable wins
Choose the 15-foot cable for reach and an angled end
The Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable has the longer listed 15-foot length, giving it an extra five feet over the other option. That makes it the more fitting choice when the instrument and amplifier, pedalboard, or other connected gear are not positioned close together. Its 1/4-inch straight-to-angle connector arrangement is also the defining configuration difference. For players who specifically want an angled plug at one end, this is the clear match of the pair.
Its trade-off is the $50.99 listed price. If the extra reach and angled connector are not part of your setup, that higher listed amount may not be necessary for the cable role you have in mind.
Choose the 10-foot cable for a shorter straight connection
The Professional Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable 10 Ft is suited to a compact connection where a 10-foot cable is enough. Its listed $29.76 price is the lower of the two, and its straight 1/4-inch connector format keeps the choice focused on a conventional straight-ended cable. It also shares the black color, 22-gauge conductor, 8 mm PVC jacket, nickel-plated connectors, and spiral shielding described for the longer cable.
The limitation is reach: it is listed at 10 feet rather than 15 feet. It also does not offer the straight-and-angle connector arrangement listed for the Fender Professional Series cable, so it is less targeted to setups that call for an angled end.
Product notes
Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable, Guitar Accessories, S
Pick this cable when a 15-foot length and a 1/4-inch straight-to-angle layout solve a specific placement or connector-orientation need. The angled connector can be the deciding detail for an instrument-side connection where a straight plug is not the preferred format. Its construction description includes flexible 95% oxygen-free spiral shielding, an 8 mm PVC jacket, a 22-gauge conductor, and durable nickel-plated connectors. It is also listed in black for use with musical instruments.
The main constraint is its $50.99 listed price, the higher figure in this comparison. Shoppers who only need a short run and straight connectors may find its added length and angled-end configuration unnecessary.
Professional Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable 10 Ft, Guitar Accessories, St
This is the focused choice for a 10-foot instrument-cable run with a straight 1/4-inch connector format. At a listed $29.76, it has the lower price of the two options while retaining the same core construction callouts: 95% oxygen-free spiral shielding, an 8 mm PVC jacket, a 22-gauge conductor, nickel-plated connectors, and a black finish. It is intended for musical instruments, making it a direct fit for an electric guitar-to-amp connection where cable distance is modest.
Its confirmed limitation is the shorter 10-foot length. Choose another layout if your gear spacing needs 15 feet or if an angled connector is important to the connection.
Final choice by use case
- Need more room across a practice or performance setup: choose the Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable at $50.99 for its listed 15-foot reach.

- Connecting nearby gear with a 10-foot run: choose the Professional Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable 10 Ft at $29.76.
