Snakebite Professional MIDI (5 pin DIN) Cable with right angled connectors

All good, but beware the pin alignment might not suit your needs. I’m connecting devices which need the midi cable to point upwards at both ends, which is why I chose these but other cables point different ways. The product photos show the pin alignment so compare that with your devices before buying. Had no problems with it over the couple of months its been installed, though the one I got isn't quite built straight.

Good price

Look. To be as expected.. Not used yet.

Really difficult to insert into sockets, tried 6 different pieces of equipment. Finally succeeded but it was frustrating. Loved the right angle aspect but would probably give these a miss next time. It wasn't just this particular cable, the other Snakebite cable was just the same.

Arrived promptly, plugged in & used straight away - literally true. Needed to extend midi links on my pedalboard to incorporate a new eq box and the links run under the board, hence the 90 degree connectors.

The right angle connectors are useful for front facing midi connections like on the behringer synths. These look sturdy and well made.

And here’s the rub. The PINS are clearly upside down. What this means is that the cable protrudes up the way rather that down the way (as you would expect) when connected. Put simply, the cable should hang down the way when connected and not up the way as that puts strain on the cable as it fights gravity and connects to additional midi keyboards. I don’t think you could get such a design concept so wrong and potential buyers need to be aware of this. It’s a fundamental design error that is beggars’ belief. I keep thinking surely the design has been interpreted incorrectly at the build stage. I cant think of anyone who would design such a product in such a dysfunctional way.

Value is good, these look like a good reliable product
