Frequently Asked Questions

How do you measure your short patch/pedal board cables?

I measure the cable length - so I cut to 6" for a 6" patch cable. With stripping and then the G&H connector body width (about 1/2") the overall length averages 1/4" - 3/4" long. I can cut that distance short on request though, if an exact length is needed.

How do you ship and how long will it take?

Lava Cable is a small shop that makes all cables ot order. We ship most orders via USPS Priority Mail within 1 to 5 busines days after I receive the order dependent on the number of orders in the queue for assembly. Often cable kits and and single cable orders will ship same day. Occasionally, shipping can take longer, as sometimes my suppliers are out of the parts I need when I order at my re-order points. If there is a delay, I send emails explaining the cause and any updates as necessary.
