Less Cable for Recording
I needed a patch XLR cable for using my MP Tube preamp. I had been using one 6 metre XLR to go from the mic to the preamp and then another 6 metre XLR to go from the preamp to the audio interface! What a pain! This patch lead was the easy solution.
Warning: this is the ultra-short patch cable. Check what you need; Thomann sell other lengths of XLR patch cables, if this one is not sufficient to your needs. This lead is 30cm from tip to tip.
I have used Sssnake cables before and found them to be excellent value for money so I didn't see the point in spending more. If I were a professional soundman, maybe I would go for a stronger lead, whether that means that paying more would get me to that place, I don't know. I think these leads will stand up to the general stresses of life on the road, provided your band members use due care, but then you probably think everyone always should.
Having seen that these leads are fine and having bought numerous Sssnake cables in the past, I will probably buy a second one to make a kick drum microphone out of an old practice combo. There is a video online that gives instructions how to make one of these; but if you happen to have an old combo, doing nothing, a patch cable and some soldering may be all you need.
Recommended, particularly for home studios, who use gear before the audio interface and who do not want excessive amounts of cable cluttering up the place.

Used to daisy-chain TC Helicon voicetone singles
I've used them to daisy-chain TC Helicon voicetone singles.
A great solution instead of the €40+ kit from TC Helicon.
It would have been better to have NEUTRIK connectors, but not necessary, since it in almost all applications it shan't be fiddle with too much.
If you are using it for similar applications, I recommend coupling it with the the the sssnake DC3 Cable for power distribution. They work beautifully well for the Voicetone Singles series.

Solid construction, great sound.
This is a nice accessory. I bought it as it's very short and means I don't have long cables everywhere getting in the way. I used it for connecting between my Cloudlifter pre-amp and my Zoom H6 audio recorder and it works great.
Quality: fittings are solid metal and connect very precisely to equipment with the XLR connectors. The cable is relatively thick and flexible and feels solid.
Sound: works absolutely fine, with clear audio quality.

Good value
Handy for connecting my DI box to my pre-amp/mixer. Seems sturdy enough but I won't be abusing it. While I do not expect to require many more of these it is very useful and will prevent me straining my full length cables. Will buy more if needed.

Handy and cheap
Not much to say other than these are great low cost solutions to routing audio to and from patch bays, mic pres and other needs. Would definitely suggest picking up a few of these for your studio.

Do not fit with Neutrik plugs
The guides are too narrow and I cannot use them with my patchbay which uses older Neutrik plugs. Returned everything and am still looking for affordable XLR patch cables.
