If so, do the lights come on? Do you have the tuner engaged?

Your cable might be faulty. test using a different cable.
Your amp might be off or have the volume down. Test something else through the amp.

Or is it a stereo cable? This won't work with an instrument which uses the ring to switch the battery.

If so my second guess was right - that’s a stereo or TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) cable, not a standard guitar cable despite the description! It will work with a passive guitar because only the tip and sleeve connections are used, but an active instrument which uses the ring connection to switch the battery on by connecting it to the sleeve when a mono plug is in the jack will not work. (Or not unless the ring and sleeve are connected together in whatever the other end is plugged into, which they sometimes are.)
It’s not faulty, just the wrong cable for the job.
