The world of guitar and instrument cables can be a complicated one, with every development claiming to be the latest and greatest, though often yielding similar, sometimes underwhelming results.
While this might be a familiar story for a lot of companies, it’s certainly not the case for their cables equipped with ISO-COAT®, with the patent granted in Australia and currently pending internationally. ISO-COAT® is a patented, protective seal developed by Voltage Cable Co.® to enhance the life of instrument cables and protect tone at the source. This hermetic seal blocks out corrosion, oxidation, and prevents signal loss — the most common causes of cable failure and sonic degradation in the music world.

Guitar cable failure has rarely been just bad luck — it’s often caused by corrosion, poor soldering, and shortcuts in the manufacturing process. ISO-COAT® was engineered to stop corrosion before it starts, sealing the cable from the inside and protecting the signal for the long haul.
With a focus on cabling that’ll actually last a lifetime, not just claim it does on the packaging, Voltage Cable Co.® cables are a chance for you to buy once by buying the best, their entire range of cabling extending to suit every application.
Every guitar cable has a weak spot: the soldered terminations. Without proper protection, moisture, humidity and airborne gases cause oxidation — a slow, irreversible breakdown of the connection. ISO-COAT® eliminates this weak point by isolating it with a true hermetic seal.

ISO-COAT® builds on cable protection and pushes it to the limit, protecting your connection at both ends of the cable. These come with offering a lifetime warranty, doing away with the haunting anxiety that’s plagued guitar and bass players for decades. The Voltage Vintage Coil® cables have harnessed the ISO-COAT® technology for quite some time, and with patent in hand, Voltage Cable Co.® plans to roll out this ISO-COAT® innovation to a growing range of straight cables, speaker cables, mic cables and patch cables. Their entire range will share this robust, refined and superior coating for the ultimate in protection.
This first of its kind proprietary manufacturing method is now backed by a Standard Australian Patent No. 2024204464, with international protection pending under application PCT/AU2024/050220.
The standard patent allows ISO-COAT® to be applied to more connections than ever, protecting you from bad signal no matter where your cables are in the music making process. The point of failure in all cables is now refined and robust thanks to Voltage Cable Co.®’s Aussie innovation. This is the world’s first granted, standard patent for protecting and preserving a guitar’s tone and longevity.
ISO-COAT® offers a hermetic seal on cable connections — airtight and structurally reinforced (and beer, sweat, tears — you get it), making them optimal for the rigours of the road and studio. Most cables degrade sonically over time, but not Voltage Cable Co.®’s ISO-COAT® cables. Their innovative seal provides protection from oxidation, corrosion and the atmosphere, isolating a strong connection for life. Termination points are a cable’s kryptonite — both the physical point of connection and the part handled most often: patching and unpatching, connecting and unplugging, cables stuffed into road cases, bags, and hung from hooks — they really take a beating. ISO-COAT® ensures none of this compromises your sound.
Used religiously by artists like Vincent Neil Emerson, John Bohlinger, Jedd Hughes and LA LOM, Voltage Cable Co.® has quietly become a go-to for serious players. Their Voltage Vintage coils have powered live rigs and studio sessions across North America, Europe, Australia, and the UK.
