Neutrik NP2X 2-Pole 1/4 Inch Phone Plug – Nickel

The Neutrik NP2X is a professional 2-pole (TS) 1/4-inch phone plug engineered for high-density jackfield applications and general professional audio assembly. At just 14.5mm wide—the thinnest A-gauge 1/4″ plug available—the NP2X meets the 15.88mm jack pitch requirements of modern high-density patchbays without sacrificing durability or build quality. A precision-machined one-piece tip contact eliminates rivets, preventing the tip from snagging in a socket or breaking under stress, while Neutrik’s proven chuck-type strain relief provides secure cable retention across a cable OD range of 4 to 7mm. The NP2X is suited for guitar cables, instrument connections, audio snakes, speakers, amplifiers, and mixing desk applications.
