It features a 3.5mm stereo jack to twin RCA audio connection. The gold-flashed contacts provide a higher quality finish and anti-corrosive properties. The 2TRSH range cables are assembled with individual shielding for each line, helping to reduce noise, cross-talk, and interference. This shielded cable performs better over distance compared to unshielded alternatives. It has a 3.5mm jack (headphone jack) to two phono plugs and a length of 10m with gold-plated connectors and a blue sheath.

Product Information
Full details
This Kenable 3.5mm to RCA audio cable is for users needing to connect a 3.5mm stereo audio source to devices with RCA inputs, such as older sound systems or speakers. Its key benefit is providing a reliable, shielded connection over a 10-meter length, reducing noise and interference for clearer audio. A minor caveat is that it's designed for audio only and not for video signals. This cable features a 3.5mm stereo jack that splits into two RCA (phono) plugs, gold-plated connectors for durability and signal integrity, and a protective blue sheath.

FAQs
Can this cable be used for both audio and video?
No, this cable is designed exclusively for stereo audio signals. It cannot transmit video.
What does 'shielded' mean in the product description?
Shielding means the internal wires are covered with a protective layer to block electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference, reducing noise and ensuring a cleaner audio signal.
Are the gold-plated connectors better than nickel-plated ones?
Yes, gold plating offers superior conductivity, better resistance to corrosion, and a more durable connection compared to nickel plating, leading to more reliable signal transmission over time.
How do I know which RCA plug is for the left and right channel?
Typically, the white or black RCA plug is for the left audio channel, and the red RCA plug is for the right audio channel. Consult your receiving device's manual if you are unsure.
Will this cable work with my iPhone or Android phone?
Yes, as long as your phone has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack output, you can use this cable to connect it to devices with RCA audio inputs.
What is the maximum recommended distance for this cable?
While the cable is 10 meters long and shielded for better performance over distance, extremely long runs in very high-interference environments might still experience some signal degradation. However, for typical home or office use, 10 meters should perform well.
Troubleshooting
No sound or only sound from one channel.
Ensure the 3.5mm plug is fully inserted into the source device. Verify that the RCA plugs are securely connected to the correct input ports on the receiving device (red to right, white/black to left). Check that the receiving device is set to the correct input source and that the volume is turned up.
Humming or buzzing noise.
Ensure the cable is fully plugged in at both ends. Try connecting the devices to a different power outlet to rule out ground loop issues. If possible, test the cable with different devices to see if the interference persists, indicating a potential issue with the cable's shielding or the connected equipment.
Audio quality is poor or distorted.
Check that the source device's volume is not set too high, causing clipping. Ensure the cable connectors are clean. If the issue persists, the cable may be damaged or experiencing significant interference; consider testing with a different cable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Connect the 3.5mm stereo jack (headphone plug) to the audio output port of your source device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, laptop, MP3 player).
Connect the two RCA (phono) plugs to the corresponding audio input ports (usually red for right channel, white or black for left channel) on your target device (e.g., amplifier, speakers, soundbar).
Compatibility:
Source Devices: Compatible with any device featuring a standard 3.5mm stereo audio output jack.
Receiving Devices: Compatible with any audio equipment featuring stereo RCA (phono) input connectors.
Note: This cable is for analog audio signals only and does not support digital audio or video transmission.
Care:
Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable.
Keep connectors clean and free from dust; gently wipe with a dry cloth if necessary.
