Product Information

Full details

This guide is for users needing a reliable connection for composite video or digital audio (SPDIF) signals. The Kenable 002117 coaxial cable offers a high-quality, 0.5m solution with pure copper conductors for clear signal transmission. Its primary caveat is the fixed 0.5m length, which may not suit all installation distances. Key features include its RG59 75Ω coaxial cable construction, straight SPDIF connectors, and a bright yellow color for easy identification.

FAQs

What is SPDIF?

SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) is a digital audio interface standard used to transfer digital sound between devices, such as from a TV to a soundbar or from a CD player to an amplifier.

Can this cable be used for stereo analog audio?

No, this cable is specifically designed for digital audio via SPDIF or for composite video signals using RCA phono connectors. It is not suitable for standard stereo analog audio connections, which typically use red and white RCA connectors.

What does RG59 75Ω mean?

RG59 is a type of coaxial cable commonly used for video signals. The '75Ω' indicates its characteristic impedance is 75 ohms, which is standard for S/PDIF digital audio and composite video signals, ensuring optimal signal transfer and minimizing reflections.

Is the 0.5m length sufficient for most setups?

The 0.5m length is ideal for connecting devices that are placed very close to each other, such as within the same entertainment unit shelf. For setups requiring longer distances between devices, a longer cable will be necessary.

Why is the cable yellow?

The bright yellow color is a design choice to make the cable easily distinguishable from other cables in a setup, simplifying identification and management.

How durable are the connectors?

The cable features straight SPDIF connectors designed for a secure fit. While they provide a reliable connection, like all connectors, they should be handled with care to avoid damage from excessive force or bending.

Troubleshooting

No audio or distorted audio signal

Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both SPDIF ports. Verify that both the source and destination devices are set to use the SPDIF input/output. Check if the cable is damaged; try a different cable if possible.

No video or poor quality video signal

Confirm the cable is correctly connected to the composite video input/output ports. Check device settings to ensure composite video output is enabled. Inspect the cable for any visible damage.

Cable is difficult to plug in or remove

Ensure you are using the correct ports (RCA phono type). Do not force the connector; check for any obstructions or bent pins. Gentle wiggling might help, but do not pull on the cable itself.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality RG59 coaxial cable for clear signal transmission.
  • Pure copper conductors enhance signal integrity.
  • Ideal for both composite video and digital audio (SPDIF) connections.
  • Bright yellow color aids in easy identification and management.
  • Compact 0.5m length is suitable for close-range setups.

Cons

  • Fixed 0.5m length may be too short for some applications.
  • Only suitable for SPDIF or composite video, not general-purpose audio/video.
  • Straight connectors might not be ideal for tight bends or awkward port placements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the SPDIF or composite video output port on your source device and the corresponding input port on your destination device.
  2. Ensure both devices are powered off before making any connections.
  3. Firmly plug one end of the Kenable 002117 cable into the output port of the source device.
  4. Plug the other end into the input port of the destination device.
  5. Power on your devices and configure the input/output settings as needed.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is compatible with any device featuring standard RCA phono sockets for SPDIF digital audio or composite video signals.
  • Ensure your devices are configured to use these specific signal types.

Care:

  • Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connectors, to prevent damage to the internal conductors.
  • Keep connectors clean. If dusty, use a dry, soft cloth or a cotton swab. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.
