Choosing an instrument cable can be deceptively simple: both choices are black Professional Series guitar cables with a 10-foot length, but their listed prices are separated by $32.24. The practical decision is whether the lower-priced cable's detailed construction callouts matter more to you than the $62 cable's explicitly itemized 1/4-inch male connectors at both ends.
Quick verdict
Choose Professional Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable 10 Ft when you want the lower listed price plus stated details on shielding, jacket thickness, conductor gauge, and connector plating. Choose Professional Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable when a clearly stated male-to-male 6.35 mm connection is the deciding specification. Both are listed as new, black instrument cables.

Product notes
Professional Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable 10 Ft
This is the direct choice for a shopper who wants the lower listed price while retaining unusually detailed construction callouts. Its description identifies 95% oxygen-free spiral shielding, an 8 mm PVC jacket, a 22-gauge conductor, and nickel-plated connectors, giving a construction-minded shopper several concrete details to prioritize. It is also described as flexible and intended for musical instruments. The limitation is its connector wording: the cable is labeled Male-to-Female, while the connector entry is listed as 1/4 Inches Straight. Choose this cable when shielding, jacket, conductor, and connector construction carry more weight than a separately itemized two-male-end connection.
Professional Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable
This cable suits a shopper whose requirement is explicitly two male 6.35 mm (1/4-inch) jacks.

It is also listed as a black 1/4 Inch Instrument Cable, so its core cable format is easy to place alongside the other option. Its limitation is the higher listed price in this comparison. Make it the final choice when clearly itemized male connectors at both ends matter more than the lower listed price of the alternative.
Final choice by use case
- Choose Professional Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable 10 Ft for the lower listed-price option and its detailed shielding, jacket, conductor, and connector-plating callouts.
