Excelent
Used to connect instruments from stage monitoring to FOH. No extra feedback, good connectivity.
Outside protective layer is good and the cable seems sturdy and of good quality.

A hackable investment for us small-scale tinkerers
I bought this one together with the sssnake SXX8100 for a small stage setup to avoid lugging a heavy overkill 30-meter 16/4 snake.
The build quality is exactly what to expect at the price tag. Unlike in the picture, the cable I received was black and had white numbered sleeves on the individual cores instead of the neater coding rings on the Neutrik X-series style plugs. The strain relieves in the cheap plugs don't grip the small cores too well, but that's somewhat expected. It also came with a basic velcro strap to keep the cable coiled up for storage.
In my use case I had need for 6/2 send/return configuration instead of the 8/0 it was built as, so I exchanged the plugs of cores 7 and 8 to make it suit my needs better instead of investing in four adapters or running two additional cables.

This is a time saver.....
This sssnake is a massive time saver when setting up for gig and reduces the massive piles of leads leading from the stage to the mixing desk front of house.
Just plug the 8 numbered xlr inputs into the mixing desk and run the large single cable to the stage where everyone plugs it to the corresponding 8 plugs. Great idea and great quality for the price.
My only request would be for blank labels instead of the numbered ones so that you could record the mic details instead.

Tidy up the mess of cables...
I got this for our three piece acoustic trio as I was getting fed up with the mess of wires along the front of the band. Now all replaced by one multicore. The length is just right for us.
We use four of the leads as inputs (Violin, mandolin and two microphones), and I have re-placed two of the XLR's with jacks to take the monitor feeds back from the mixer. I will swap the XLR's of one other channel to carry the feed to the powered PA speaker. So it is quite easy to adapt this for differing requirements.
I found it easy to solder, it works well and not only looks better but saves time in setting up. I am sure other, more expensive multi-cores, are sturdier and may last longer, but overall I think this is great value for money.

not a good buy, I'm afraid
Bought this one and some longer versions of the same product for occasional connections from stagebox to iem rack etc. but was quite disappointed to discover that the sssnake connectors don't fit other basic industry standard sockets and connectors. A very uncomfortable situation to be in during a live setup, to discover that you're missing about 16 channels of multicore due to compatibility. I also took a look onto the soldering and with just a little pull the connection gave and broke immediately. As a first impression it looks good and has very handy numbering labels for quick connecting but just take don't give in to the cheap price and buy or make your own solid cables with Neutrik connectors.

Good multicore
Easy to use, ideal for small gigs and small spaces, I have used it when the desk is close to the stage. does what is was made to do.

Good Loom
For the price this is great. I have it going from my studio racks to some monitors, so not being plugged in and out very often. No need to pay more for this sort of application.

The SXX8050 is great value for the money
The sssnake SXX8050 is one of those bits of gear that just quietly does its job. It’s an 8-way XLR snake in a single cable, so instead of running loads of separate leads everywhere, you keep things neat and simple. If you’re setting up a rehearsal space, home studio, or a small live rig, it’s a real time-saver.
