FAQs

What type of audio signal does this cable carry?

This cable is designed specifically for analog stereo audio signals. It carries the left and right channel audio separately.

Can I use this cable for both audio and video connections?

No, this cable is only for analog stereo audio. It cannot transmit video signals.

What does 'RCA' mean in the product description?

RCA refers to the common type of connector used for audio and video signals, characterized by a central pin and an outer ring. This cable uses two sets of RCA connectors, often called phono plugs.

Why are the connectors gold-plated?

Gold plating provides excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a more reliable and higher-quality signal connection over time compared to standard metal plating.

Is this cable suitable for connecting a turntable?

Yes, provided your turntable has RCA audio outputs and you are connecting it to a device with RCA inputs, and that you are using a turntable with a built-in pre-amplifier or connecting to an amplifier with a phono input.

How should I manage a 15m cable?

For neatness, use Velcro cable ties or zip ties to bundle the cable when not fully extended. Route it along walls or behind furniture to keep it tidy and prevent tripping hazards.

What is the warranty on this cable?

Please refer to the retailer's or kenable's official product page for specific warranty information, as it may vary by seller.

Troubleshooting

No audio output from one or both channels

Ensure both red and black RCA plugs are securely connected to the correct input and output ports on both devices. Verify that the correct audio input is selected on the receiving device. Test the cable with different source and destination devices to rule out a fault with the cable itself.

Audio has static, hum, or crackling sound

Check that all RCA plugs are fully inserted and making good contact. Ensure the cable is not routed near power cables or sources of electromagnetic interference. Try a different audio cable to see if the issue persists.

One channel is significantly quieter than the other

Confirm that the red and black plugs are correctly matched to the right and left audio channels respectively on both the source and destination devices. Inspect the gold-plated connectors for any visible damage or debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extended 15m cable length provides significant flexibility in setup.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure a high-quality, stable audio signal.
  • Suitable for a wide range of audio interconnections, from CD players to amplifiers.
  • Clear distinction with red and black connectors for easy L/R channel identification.
  • Durable construction for reliable, long-term use.

Cons

  • Limited to analog stereo audio signals only.
  • 15m length may be excessive for very short-distance connections, potentially leading to cable management challenges.
  • Not suitable for digital audio or video signals.
  • Potential for signal degradation over the full 15m length if subjected to significant interference (though gold plating mitigates this).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the RCA audio output ports on your source device (e.g., CD player, DVD player, amplifier). These are typically color-coded red (right channel) and white or black (left channel).
  2. Identify the corresponding RCA audio input ports on your destination device (e.g., amplifier, receiver, powered speakers).
  3. Connect the red RCA plug from the cable to the red output on the source device and the red input on the destination device.
  4. Connect the black (or white) RCA plug from the cable to the corresponding colored output on the source device and input on the destination device.
  5. Ensure the connections are snug but do not force them.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is compatible with any audio device featuring standard RCA phono connectors for stereo analog audio input or output.
  • It is suitable for use with amplifiers, receivers, Hi-Fi systems, CD players, DVD players, turntables (with preamps), and other audio equipment requiring stereo RCA connections.
  • It is *not* compatible with digital audio (e.g., S/PDIF, Toslink) or video signals.

Care:

  • To clean the cable, unplug it from all devices. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the cable and connectors.
  • For stubborn marks on the connectors, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture enters the plug housing, and dry thoroughly.
  • Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures, moisture, or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent kinks or damage to the internal wiring.
