A cable choice among instrument accessories can come down to a small but essential detail: the connector ends. These two black Professional Series instrument cables share a 10-foot description, but their listed end configurations differ, and their prices are separated by $28.36. Start with the connections your setup calls for, then decide whether the additional listed details on the Fender cable matter for your purchase.
Quick verdict
Choose the Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable when you need a 10-foot cable with a 6.35 mm (1/4-inch) male jack at both ends. Its listing also identifies it as a 1/4-inch instrument cable and names Fender.
Choose the Professional Series Instrument Cable 10 Ft when a male-to-female connector configuration is the key requirement. It is the lower-priced option and also specifies a 1/4-inch straight connector and 22.0 gauge.
Neither is simply a substitute for the other if your required connection ends are different. That specification should settle the decision before color or price.

Where each cable wins
Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable: This is the clearer match for a two-male-end requirement. The listing spells out both Connector A and Connector B as 6.35 mm male jacks, rather than leaving the end arrangement broad. It also directly states the 10-foot length in the attributes.
Professional Series Instrument Cable 10 Ft: This one is the practical pick when the needed format has one male end and one female end. Its listed USD 33.64 price is lower than the USD 62.00 Fender cable, while its description includes a 1/4-inch straight connector and 22.0 gauge.
Product notes
Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable
The strongest reason to select this Fender cable is its specifically listed connector pairing: a 6.35 mm (1/4-inch) jack male at both ends. That makes the choice direct for shoppers whose equipment calls for male plugs on each side of the cable. The 10-foot length, black color, new condition, and 1/4-inch instrument-cable designation are also plainly stated. At USD 62.00, it is the higher-priced cable in this head-to-head comparison. Its key limitation is therefore not a broad quality judgment but a fit question: a cable identified with male connectors at both ends is not the natural choice when your needed connection includes a female end.
Professional Series Instrument Cable 10 Ft
Pick the Professional Series Instrument Cable 10 Ft when a male-to-female arrangement is the deciding specification. Its attributes identify it as an instrument cable for musical instruments, with a 1/4-inch straight connector, black color, new condition, and 22.0 gauge. The 10-foot wording appears in its title, keeping it aligned with the length shoppers are considering here. At USD 33.64, it carries the lower listed price. The tradeoff is straightforward: its male-to-female connector gender differs from the Fender cable's two listed male jacks, so it serves a different endpoint configuration rather than being a like-for-like replacement.
Final choice by use case
For a 10-foot cable with a male 6.35 mm jack specified at each end, choose the Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable. For a 10-foot Professional Series cable where one male and one female end are required, choose the Professional Series Instrument Cable 10 Ft. The connector configuration is the deciding feature; the listed price then separates the two choices.
