Neutrik Silent Connectors.


	How the amazing Neutrik Silent connectors work The Neutrik 'Silent' plug automatically mutes (shorts) an instrument cable, typically a guitar, to avoid pops and squeals when changing the instrument under load. The integrated gold contact reed switch is activated by a spring-loaded magnetic sleeve that un-shorts the contacts only when the jack is fully mated. The switch is hermetically sealed, and is rated for at least 10,000 mating cycles. "The lifetime plug" Diecast shell, Neutrik unique chuck-type strain relief with PU-sleeve for optimal cable protection.
