Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 007413 coaxial cable is designed for users needing a reliable connection for composite video or digital audio (SPDIF) signals. Its key benefit is the high-quality RG59 75-ohm construction with pure copper conductors, ensuring signal integrity. A potential caveat is that it's a single lead, so users may need multiple for multi-channel setups.

FAQs

What is the primary use of this cable?

This cable is designed for connecting devices that transmit composite video signals or digital coaxial audio (SPDIF) signals using standard RCA connectors.

Can I use this cable for component video (Red, Green, Blue)?

No, this cable is for composite video (single yellow RCA) or digital audio (single orange/white RCA), not component video which requires three separate cables.

What does '75-ohm' mean?

75-ohm refers to the cable's impedance, a critical characteristic for coaxial cables used in video and digital audio to ensure proper signal transmission and minimize reflections.

Is this cable shielded?

The product description specifies RG59 75-ohm coaxial cable with pure copper conductors. While not explicitly detailed as shielded, RG59 is generally designed to offer some level of shielding against interference.

How do I know if my device uses SPDIF digital audio?

Look for ports labeled 'Digital Audio Out', 'Coaxial Out', or 'SPDIF Out' which are typically RCA-type connectors, often orange or white.

Can I use this cable for analog stereo audio?

While it uses RCA connectors, this specific cable is optimized for digital coaxial audio (SPDIF) or composite video. For analog stereo audio, you would typically use two separate RCA cables (red and white).

What is the external dimension of the plug?

The external dimension of the RCA plug is 11mm.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected to the correct input and output ports on your devices. Verify that the correct input source is selected on your display or receiver. Test the cable with different devices if possible to rule out a faulty device.

Poor video quality (e.g., distorted image, color issues)

Check that the cable is fully seated in the ports. Ensure the cable is not damaged (e.g., kinks, frayed wires). Try a different cable to see if the issue persists, which might indicate a problem with the source or display device rather than the cable.

Intermittent signal loss

Inspect the connectors for any signs of damage or corrosion. Gently clean the RCA connectors on both the cable and the devices. Ensure the cable is not routed near strong sources of electromagnetic interference.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality RG59 75-ohm construction for signal integrity.
  • Pure copper conductors ensure clear audio and video transmission.
  • Standard RCA connectors provide a secure fit.
  • RoHS compliant, indicating adherence to environmental standards.
  • Dual functionality for composite video and digital audio.

Cons

  • 1-meter length may be too short for some installations.
  • Only one cable is included per pack, requiring additional purchases for multiple connections.
  • Connectors are fixed straight, not angled, which might limit placement in tight spaces.
  • May not be suitable for high-frequency or high-bandwidth applications beyond standard composite video and SPDIF.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the 'Video Out' or 'Digital Audio Out' port on your source device.
  2. Identify the 'Video In' or 'Digital Audio In' port on your display or audio receiver.
  3. Connect one end of the Kenable 007413 cable to the source device's output port.
  4. Connect the other end of the cable to the destination device's input port.

Compatibility:

  • Video: Compatible with devices outputting composite video signals (typically via a yellow RCA connector). This includes many older televisions, VCRs, DVD players, and some gaming consoles.
  • Audio: Compatible with devices supporting digital coaxial audio (SPDIF) signals (typically via an orange or white RCA connector). This includes CD players, audio receivers, soundbars, and some computer sound cards.
  • Ensure your devices have the corresponding RCA input and output ports.

Care:

  • Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable.
  • Keep connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
  • Store the cable away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
  • Ensure connections are snug but do not force the connectors.
