The Planet Waves Circuit Breaker(R) plug has fail-safe operation to save your equipment from loud pops and squeals when you change guitars with a live amp. When the button is pushed, the cable shorts while remaining plugged into your guitar, making on-stage guitar changes a snap, and eliminating any chance of sound bursts. Once the cable is shorted, remove the cable from the guitar being used and plug the cable into the next instrument. Press the button again to re-activate the cable signal.
Many shorting plugs include springs that disconnect the signal after removing the plug from the guitar. These springs can wear over time resulting in malfunction and possibly damage to your equipment. Planet Waves Circuit Breaker Instrument Cable will save your equipment from loud pops and squeals while changing guitars with a live amp. When the button is pushed, the cable shorts while remaining plugged in your guitar, making on-stage guitar changes a snap, and eliminating any chance of sound bursts. Plus, since the cable can be shorted without removing the plug from your instrument you can also use the cable to prevent unwanted noise or feedback during breaks from playing.
Once the cable is shorted, remove the cable from the guitar being used and plug the cable into the next instrument. Press the button again to re-activate the cable signal. It's that easy!!!
Each plug is plated with 24-karat gold and has 8 compression springs that allow the plug to positively lock into the jack, eliminating any annoying static. The Planet Waves Circuit Breaker cable is simply the safest way to prevent damage to your equipment live or in the studio.
Will the compression spring on the Planet Waves Cable damage my jack?
No. The compression spring will actually increase the life of your jack by providing a better connection. Planet Waves engineering staff has conducted test after test, jamming the plug into and out of guitar jacks for thousands of cycles, and no damage was caused to the jack or the connector.
Why does gold plating Planet Waves Cable connectors make them better?
Gold is a superior electrical conductor and is corrosion resistant.

Planet Waves Circuit Breaker Instrument Cable Reviews
10 out of 10
"Best Cable for the lot."
Feature:
Can't remember if the breaker is on or off when I first plug in to my head.
Quality:
My cost a little extra, but you won't ever need another cable again even if it shorts.
Value:
Like I said may be pricy, but given you'll have to buy another cable in the long run you will save.
Desirability:
Looks don't matter. Only sound and consturction matter in my book, but it is still pretty anyway.
Sound:
Perfect sound reproduction. No unwanted distortion, hum, or decible loss. Stays put if yanked on. Also, mad props on it being soderless easy to fix for an idiot like me if it shorts out. Which every cable i have eventually did and this one is the only one that when it happened I just cut 1/4" off the end a reconnected the end and volia it worked again.
Ease of Use:
LIke I said fixing a short was a breeze.
Support:
Actually, I never had to use it. Must mean something there.
Overall:
Last cables I'll ever own. I go out of my way to get these cause it just works. "Nuff said.

Circuit Breaker Cable Customer Review
Quality:
Hard non flowing cable gets tangled easily, heavy plugs that can hurt you if you are not careful. I hate these cables.
