Providence P203 The Patch Cable

P203

Platinum Link Patch Cable


If you choose for high sound quality and noise resistance

The world's "The Purple Cable," developed exclusively for patches. Highly flexible with a hybrid structure, it shuts out electromagnetic noise with an ultra-dense braided shield.

Specifically designed for patching between effect pedals and similar equipment, the P203 model offers low-noise transmission in a lightweight, flexible cable.

Detailed Information: P203

The Platinum Link series P203 model combines an NCS3 OFC conductor with a hybrid insulator consisting of NAP ELASTOMER and special polyethylene materials. The application of innovative Providence technology throughout results in an outstanding blend of high sound quality and flexibility – characteristics that are rarely seen together in a single cable. Since the P203 was designed specifically for patching between effect units and between effect units and amplifiers, for example, sonic evaluation was carried out with 1-meter cable lengths rather than the longer samples used for standard cables.
Unlike conventional patch cables, which are normally nothing more than short cables that can degrade frequency characteristics and result in a thin sound, the P203 model achieves excellent signal transmission accuracy and quality, and even helps to improve signal quality when used with compact effect pedals that can have a negative impact on the direct sound.
Of course these same characteristics are also an advantage when patching between rack-mounted effects and preamplifiers. A convenient lineup of lengths from 0.1 meter to 0.5 meter is offered in 5 centimeter increments, so you can choose cables off the shelf for optimum patching with any rack or pedal-board system.

Secure and Snug-Fitting Plugs

Providence's original NP series phone plugs are made in Japan*, with both the plug body and shell machined from brass. Many stages of their production require manual labor, making them essentially handcrafted products. The plug shaft is φ6.3mm. There is little variation between products, and they fit snugly into the inch-sized (1/4 inch) jacks used in most instruments like guitars, making them difficult to unplug and providing more contact points between the plug and jack, which also positively affects sound quality.

V206

V206

Platinum Link Patch Cable


World's smallest class solder-type plug and 4mm diameter cable save space and weight on your board.

The V206 model patch cable features Providence's unique VLK1 OFC conductor configuration, a tin-plated ultra-dense braided shield, and a structure using carbon-impregnated conductive vinyl. With a diameter of 4mm, it is thinner and more flexible than standard cables, yet reliably shuts out electromagnetic noise. It firmly transmits picking nuances while delivering a tight, powerful sound with excellent projection.

With a diameter of 4mm, it is thinner and more flexible than standard cables, yet reliably shuts out electromagnetic noise. It firmly transmits picking nuances while delivering a tight, powerful sound with excellent projection.
While noise countermeasures are often neglected in favor of flexibility in conventional products, the V206 model shuts out electromagnetic noise by using a braided shield and carbon-impregnated conductive vinyl. It protects your important sound from floor tapping noise, high-frequency noise from TVs and radios, and noise generated by motors.

The nickel-plated NP-21 and NP-21L (L-type) plugs, which are among the smallest in the world, are effective in saving space and reducing weight for effector boards that you want to keep as compact as possible. Moreover, since they are soldered, there is less risk of sound quality degradation and contact failure troubles common with solderless types, providing peace of mind.
Developed with the idea that "artists can concentrate on playing without feeling stress," the patented "anti-loosening" function prevents the plug shell from loosening, which tends to happen during tour transportation.
