Hosa MID202 Dual MIDI Cable - 6.6 Feet, 2 Meter

Bottom line: The Hosa MID202 Dual MIDI Cable: Dual 5-pin DIN leads bonded in one run - covers MIDI In and Out in a single cable; main trade-off: only 6.6 ft - too short for stage runs or rooms with distant racks.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Dual 5-pin DIN leads bonded in one run - covers MIDI In and Out in a single cable
  • ✓ Color-coded leads make In vs Out obvious behind a rack
  • ✓ 6.6 ft (2 m) reach spans a desk synth to an interface without slack
  • ✓ Discrete 5-pin wiring keeps signal paths separate across both leads

Cons

  • ✗ Only 6.6 ft - too short for stage runs or rooms with distant racks
  • ✗ 5-pin DIN only; no USB-MIDI or TRS MIDI adapter included
  • ✗ Fixed dual-lead design wastes a lead on single-direction setups
  • ✗ Hosa lists no shielding or gauge specs for this run

Manufacturer description

This cable is designed to interconnect MIDI devices. Each lead is wired 5-pin discrete and color-coded for easy identification.

Hosa's audio & midi lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
