Well made
Alala 02.06.2020
Seems durable, decent quality! Has worked fine for a great number of shows.

I use it for smaller theater shows at schools, hooked up to two stairville octagon LED lamps and a 6-channel DMX controller. Never had any problems, and don't think there could be any trouble in this situation. As most cheaper cables it has quite small loops and tends to get curly, but it's really alright if you lay them out well and pack them up right. I could imagine that the build is not up for heavy outside use or other special conditions.

PRO:
- Cheap, and cheaper than most alternatives with the same quality
- decent components, don't expect anything super fancy though
- perfect for any DMX setup
- as any DMX, can be used as xlr replacement when in need
CONS
- As most cheaper cables it has quite small loops and tends to get curly
- If not cared for, these could wear out faster than high-end cables

Conclusion: perfect for the price and most situations where you would need a 3 pin DMX of 5 meters. If you need anything extremely trustworthy, go for something stronger, and thicker.

It does the job
Pete MacG 19.05.2017
It does the job but it's not high quality. The connectors, both male and female, seem a bit flimsy and seem a bit loose when connected - I'd be worried that they might come loose during a gig - so I'll be keeping an eye on them.
I bought a selection of lengths, and one of them had a faulty male connection that wouldn't plug in which makes you wonder about the quality control system!
However Thomann are were very helpful and are sending me a replacement.
They're cheap enough though so they'll last as long as they last.

A cable that never breaks, but if it did, is easy to repair
Anonymous 19.07.2016
Pro Snake Cables from Thomann are the best.

Premium quality cable, flexible and, when wound up correctly does not turn into a tangled mess. Connectors that can be removed for servicing. Always neat solders and good heat shrink.

I have over 500m and 70 Pro Snake cables in my touring stock. They are used every week. I don't stock any other brand. None have broken since they were purchased 2 years ago.

Cons: What cons? The price is very reasonable too!

Very cost effective
Anonymous 30.12.2016
Initially we bought a few of these for a single event after establishing many of our mic cables didn?t do DMX reliably.

We found these coiled just as well, and worked just as well as a much more expensive competitor?s product. Our main reservation is that the connectors aren?t top of the range, but at the price we can afford to carry many many spares, so we do.

We liked them so much we bought a lot of them in different sizes.

Even at minimum wage we can?t make DMX cables this cheap and I am not entirely sure we can repair the shorter ones for less than they cost.

Amazing
Anonymous 28.10.2016
I needed some DMX for my portable DJ set up and this bundle was perfect. It had load of the smaller cables for connecting lights that are close together, leaving little excess and some long ones so you can control your lights from a distance. And great value for money and great quality.

Only downside is they were bunched a bit tightly during shipping and caused a few kinks in the cables but that was easily worked out.

Brilliant for perpose!

Nice and compact
InDaWoods 27.02.2020
We use these cables in our mobile lighting setup.

It's smaller crossection makes them easy to adjust and strap to our stands, and all black blends in nicely with the rest of the rig.

Decent quality connectors.
