Lyon Guitar Cable 5 metes Braided

Lyon 5 m Guitar Cable Review

Build & Design

• Braided exterior: Lyon markets this cable as part of its "California Series" braided instrument cables—built for durability and snag-resistance 

• Length: At 5 meters (≈16.5 ft), it strikes a versatile balance—long enough to move freely on stage or in the studio without excessive signal loss.

Connectors & Shielding

• While exact specs aren’t listed, Lyon typically uses zinc alloy or nickel-plated connectors suited for general performance—they aren’t Neutrik, but are solidly built for casual gigging. The braided jacket adds a layer of physical protection, though internal shielding details are unspecified.

Sound Quality & Performance

• As with most quality instrument cables, tone remains transparent over factory-grade lengths. Lyon’s 5 m unit should preserve clarity without audible loss, as echoed by user experiences comparing similarly rated cables

Durability & Use Case

• Users appreciate the resilience of braided cables—they resist tangling and abrasion better than plain PVC.

• Lyon’s model is well-suited for practice, school, or casual gigs, especially where ruggedness and affordability are priorities.
