FAQs
What does the red ring on the insert signify?
The red ring is a standard color-coding convention used to identify the right audio channel for stereo or surround sound connections.
Do I need special tools to install this keystone insert?
No, typically no special tools are required. The insert is designed to snap directly into a compatible keystone opening. A screwdriver might be needed to install the keystone plate or patch panel itself.
Can this insert be used for video signals?
This specific insert is designed for Phono RCA *audio* signals. While composite video also uses RCA connectors, this insert is optimized for audio and its color coding is for audio channels.
How many of these inserts do I need for stereo audio?
For standard stereo audio, you will need two inserts: one red for the right channel and one white (or another color, depending on availability and preference) for the left channel.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Kenable Aura Keystone Phono RCA Audio Coupler comes with a 10-year warranty.
Is this insert suitable for outdoor use?
This insert is designed for indoor AV installations and is not rated for outdoor use or environmental protection.
What type of audio signals can it handle?
It can handle standard analog audio signals typically transmitted via RCA cables, such as those from audio receivers, amplifiers, CD players, and other audio equipment.
Troubleshooting
No audio signal detected
Verify that the RCA cable is securely connected to both the keystone insert and the audio device. Ensure the correct audio source is selected on your amplifier or receiver. Check if the insert is correctly seated in the keystone plate.
Intermittent audio dropouts
Inspect the RCA cable for damage. Ensure the keystone insert is firmly seated in the plate, as loose connections can cause signal interruptions. Clean the contacts on both the RCA plug and the keystone socket if possible.
Difficulty inserting the keystone module
Check for any obstructions in the keystone opening of the wall plate or frame. Ensure the module is aligned correctly before applying pressure. Do not force the module; it should click into place.
