Calrad 55-957 15-Foot Coiled 1/4-Inch Guitar Cable with Right-Angle Plug

Calrad 55-957: The Coiled Guitar Cable That Manages Itself

The Calrad 55-957 is a 15-foot coiled 1/4-inch mono instrument cable with a straight plug on one end and a right-angle plug on the other. It extends to full 15-foot reach when the player steps away from the amp and retracts back to a compact coil when the slack isn't needed — no tangled mess on the stage or the desk, no loose loops snagging the chair leg. The right-angle plug sits flush against the guitar body to reduce jack stress, and the straight plug handles the connection to a pedal, amp, or DI box.

Right-Angle Plug Protects the Guitar Output Jack

The 1/4-inch right-angle plug on the instrument end keeps the cable tight against the guitar body instead of pulling perpendicular to the jack. That geometry reduces the bending load on the internal jack solder joints — the most common point of failure on long-cabled guitars — and keeps the cable from catching on a strap, a chair, or the edge of an amp combo.

Coiled Spring Design for Small Stages and Home Setups

The coiled spring construction extends to 15 ft when a player steps to the front of a small stage or rolls back from a desk-side amp, then springs back into a tight coil when the slack isn't needed. The retracted coil sits at roughly 2 ft of working length — short enough to keep the pedalboard area clean and long enough for any seated playing position.

Universal Compatibility with Guitar, Bass, Pedals, and Amps

The unbalanced 2-conductor construction is the standard for guitar and bass instrument cabling. The 55-957 plugs into any 1/4-inch input — electric guitar output, bass output, multi-effects pedal input or output, amp input, DI box, or recording interface instrument input — without adapters.

Who the 55-957 Is For: Home Players, Pedalboard Builders, and Small-Stage Performers

Home players get a tidy practice setup with no cable tangle around the desk or amp. Pedalboard builders get a guitar-in cable that stays out of the way when the pedalboard sits on the floor. Small-stage performers get 15 ft of usable reach without 15 ft of cable on the ground. Plug in, play, walk away — the cable does the cleanup.
