Full details
These 100cm black Nazca Noodles patch cables are designed for electronic music creators using Eurorack-style modular synthesizers. They offer a luxurious patching experience with reliable connections, helping to keep extensive setups organized and clear. The primary caveat is their specific 3.5mm TS to 3.5mm TS format, limiting their use to compatible modular systems. Key features include a 100cm length, a pack of five cables, durable construction, and clear color-coding for easy identification within a modular setup.

FAQs
What type of connectors do these cables have?
These cables have 3.5mm TS (Tip-Sleeve) mini-jack connectors on both ends, commonly used in Eurorack modular synthesizers.
How many cables are included in a pack?
Each pack contains five (5) Nazca Noodles patch cables.
What is the length of these cables?
The length of these specific cables is 100 centimeters (approximately 39 inches).
Are these cables suitable for line-level audio gear?
These cables are designed primarily for Eurorack modular synthesizers. While they might physically connect to some 3.5mm line-level inputs, their impedance and construction are optimized for modular synth patching, not general line-level audio.
Can I use these cables with semi-modular synthesizers?
Yes, if your semi-modular synthesizer has 3.5mm patch points, these cables will be compatible.
What does 'TS' stand for in TS connector?
TS stands for Tip-Sleeve. It's a type of 2-conductor (mono) 1/4-inch or 3.5mm phone connector.
Where are Nazca Noodles cables manufactured?
Nazca Noodles are developed in partnership between Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers and Cre8audio.
Troubleshooting
No audio signal or intermittent signal.
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct input/output jacks on your modules. Try using a different patch cable to isolate if the issue is with the cable or the modules. Check that the cable is not physically damaged.
Cable feels loose in the jack.
While designed for a snug fit, individual jacks can vary. Ensure you are using the correct 3.5mm TS standard. If the issue persists across multiple jacks, the cable's connector may be slightly out of tolerance, or the jack itself may be worn.
Cable is too short for desired patching.
These cables are 100cm. For longer runs, consider purchasing longer Nazca Noodles cables or cables from other brands that offer different lengths.

Cons
- Limited to 3.5mm TS connections, not suitable for all audio gear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply plug the 3.5mm mini-jack connectors into the desired input and output jacks on your Eurorack modules. Ensure a firm but gentle connection.
Compatibility: These cables feature 3.5mm TS (Tip-Sleeve) connectors, commonly referred to as Eurorack-style or mini-jack. They are compatible with virtually all Eurorack modular synthesizers and other gear utilizing 3.5mm mono patching sockets.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, avoid excessively pulling or yanking the cables from the jacks. Keep cables away from extreme heat, moisture, and sharp objects. If cables become dirty, wipe them gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh solvents.
