Tiptop Audio's 1/8" stackcable is the world's first cable that combines low-noise shielded performance with the convenience of stackable banana cables. The patented stackcable provides signal splitting directly on the back of the plug, giving you the flexibility to distribute signals without a multiple module. When comparing the stackcables with regular patch cables, the stackcables always keep your jacks reusable no matter how many connections are running to or from a jack. Using standard patch cables basically seals up a jack once patched in, a major limitation in the dynamic workflow with a modular synthesizer. When it comes to carrying your audio signals, the stackcable is by far superior over those low-cost patch cables. The stackcables are made with heavy gauge signal conductor and signal shielding, providing both low capacitance, low impedance as well as excellent noise rejection. The stackcable is also by far superior over banana cables at handling audio and control signals in a professional studio environment, providing shielding from electrical interference keeping both your studio quiet as well as your modular synth signals clean.
