Space saving patch cables with absolutely no compromise in quality.
Trying to squeeze more pedals together on your board? Look no further!
I hadn't heard of Sommer cables before I found them on Thomann, I originally bought a couple just to test out a cheaper cable with the flatter pan-shaped jacks, and ended up buying a whole set after my experience. I've even now ordered a full-length guitar cable because I am so impressed with the build and sound quality.
These cables really allow you to push your effects pedals closer together, they're a great space-saving tool but don't compromise on sound or build quality. The jacks themselves are very robust and you'd have to be the Hulk to be able to pull the cable from the jack. It's not really a concern as these are patch cables and very rarely are subject to such forces, but it definitely gives you peace of mind when they are made so well.
The signal quality actually improved when I plugged all my sommer cables in to my signal chain. I was using a mixture of other manufacturer's cables that I had accumulated over a few years, all of which worked fine, but never underestimate what a brand new set of well-made (with well selected parts) cables can do for your signal.
I'm very impressed with these patch cables, although my wife isn't... because now I have extra room on my pedal board for more pedals to buy. :P

Best quality pedal board connection cable
I have been playing guitar for more than 20 years and I have a very good quality gear, so, any low quality piece of gear (pedals, cables, ...) would ruin my sound quality. I wanted a pedal board connection cable that does not add noise to my rig, and these cables are the answer.
There are two main features about this cable that I really like to highlight:
1) I bought 2 pieces of these cables to add 2 new pedals into my rig. I am very pleased because I noticed that after adding these pedals using this cable, the sound quality didn't change at all! There is No noise, and the tone didn't get muddy or darken, unlike other cables that I had tried. So, I am considering to change all my pedal pedal board connector cables with these nice cables.
2) The cable IS flexible (you can bend and shape it as you like), but once you shaped it will remain in that shape. For example, if you are connecting two pedals that the output of one and input of the other are both located on sides of the pedals, the cable gets the U form and REMAINS in that shape. For pedal board it is a very good feature, but if you are trying to buy it and use it all the time for different applications, I don't recommend that.
Any way, I am very pleased.
Thank you Thomman :)

Great for bass
This is truly a high quality patch cable! The jack connections are very sturdy and the extra shielding ensures you won't have any interferences whatsoever! The thicker cross.section translates in a better transmission of the lower frequencies, that will simply disappear with thinner cables. It won't boost your lows, of course, but it ensures a more linear sound. So, it's great for bass, and other instruments, of course.

the best
very strong, no noise
no complains except the fact that the metal "pancake" is too big for connectig Left and Right on some pedals or instruments

Good as always
I've been using Sommer cables for a few years now. I see no reason to change. They're durable and preserve the frequencies of the instrument even at long lengths. There's not much one can say about a patchcable, I think, but I very much enjoy using Sommer cables and this one is no exception.

Highly recommended
I use those patch cables for already one and a half year. All of the still work and show no damage. They are solid and flexibel at the same time what makes them perfect for pedal board use (and have a awesome design :P).You can even twist them without any problem. Espacially concerning the price-performance ratio to me Sommer Cable Spirit XS are unbeatable. Just make sure the quite large pancake jacks fit on all of your pedals (what can be an issue)! These are and will be my to go for patch cables on my pedal board. So I can totally recommend them!

I usually make my own cables
I usually make my own cables from Sommer instrument cable and Squareplugs. This time, I didn't have any soldering gear with me and I was putting together a pedalboard. I came across these Spirit XS Highflex cables with Hicon connectors. Hicon is a division of Sommer and I've been really impressed with the connectors so far. Not bad at all. They have screws for quick access if anything needs to be fixed and seem to be really solid.
The only downside for me is that they're a bit wider than Squareplugs, and I couldn't fit 2 side by side in the stereo connections on my TC pedals. I used some old cables for those.
All in all, I've been impressed with these and will definitely be getting some more.

Wow
Wow, this patch cables are great! I had to order some different patch cables because the ones I wanted were not available on stock - BTW great job by Thomann, changing my order really fast and it arrived by my deadline!
I'm so happy I ordered one of these! it takes around 2cm side by side (less 1cm than other ones I have) between pedals in the pedalboard and is EXTREMELY flexible, and even less if you get creative. Expensive but worth it.
I'm definitely getting a couple more in the next order!
