Detail 01
12 gauge
Thicker copper than 16 or 18 gauge, so less power is lost as heat over a long run.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 30-foot 12-gauge speaker cable for running a power amp or amp head to a cabinet. Heavy wire for long runs at high power.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Amp head to cabinet across a stage or in a rack rig
- Powered amp to passive PA tops at longer throw distances
- Permanent installs where a thick, low-loss run stays put
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitar to amp — this is not an instrument cable
- Short patch runs where 6 to 10 feet is plenty
- Anyone needing a mic or line signal cable
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
30 ft length
Enough to cross a stage or reach a cabinet across a room without a coupler.
Detail 03
Speaker cable, not instrument cable
Unshielded, heavy conductors. Plugging it into a guitar input gives weak, noisy sound.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Disappears against stage flooring and dark cabinets, less visually obvious in an install.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your amp and cabinet jacks match the connectors on this cable
- 02Sold as a single cable — a stereo rig needs two
- 03Never run speaker signal through an instrument cable; it can damage the amp
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a guitar cable?
No. Speaker cable is unshielded and built for amplifier output, not instrument level. Use a shielded instrument cable between guitar and amp.
02Is 12 gauge overkill for my setup?
For 30 feet it is reasonable. Heavier wire matters more as length and power go up, so a long run benefits from thicker conductors.
03Will this work between a head and a 4x12 cab?
Yes, that is exactly the job, as long as the connector type matches your head and cab jacks.
04Do I need one cable or two?
One per speaker output. A single head to a single cab needs one. Stereo or two cabs needs two.
