The Leads Factory - SkipRope Information

SkipRope are unique leads that feature a protective braided covering, they last longer, feel good and sound great.

SkipRope are made in the same way as ProLead except that braided protection is added to the cable in the preparation stage.

The braid is pulled tight down the length of the cable keeping the natural 'lay' of both cable and braid the same. The braid is fixed - not to pull free, with cable grippers. (Below)

Made from strong polyester strands the braid is woven with three mono-filaments for every main strand. The braid we use is resistant to most chemicals and has a melting point of 125°C

Please note: The braid has no effect on the sound of the lead and is purely for protection, identification and aesthetics!

How flexible is a SkipRope?
The braid has little effect on the flexibility of the lead. The main difference is between the types of cable used. With the guitar leads (or instrument cable), the most flexible cable is the Proel HPC110. The HPC130 while still flexible is chunkier and less bendy due to the larger diameter and added screen and core wires. On the plus side, this aids in coiling and uncoiling the lead and is less likely to tangle..

Do they get tangled easily?
SkipRope are less likely to double back and tangle on itself, but with any lead it is advisable to coil your lead neatly with the velcro tie provided or look at storing your leads the best way with Lock 'n' Roll.

Can I really select any length?
Yes! Select anything between 4" to 30ft with the cable selector, if you don't see a specific size you require please choose the nearest length and let us know via email with your order no.

Are all the tips and cable/braid options compatible?
Almost all tip, cable with braid options are compatible except when using the larger gauge HPC610 speaker cable with braid. With the speaker cable please use standard 1/4" straight or angled tips instead of the 1/4" Slim Line tips.

What if I order the wrong leads by mistake?
Please understand that it is difficult for us to correct an order once a lead has been made, due to the custom nature of each lead. We understand that mistakes happen and we honour a good will policy to sort out any problems fairly.
