Product Information

Full details

This Kenable audio cable is designed for users needing to connect audio equipment for low-level signal transmission. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable, high-quality connection thanks to pure copper conductors. A potential caveat is its short 15cm length, limiting its use to very close proximity connections. Key features include OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) cable, pure copper conductors, and a 6.35mm stereo jack to twin phono plug configuration.

FAQs

What does OFC cable mean?

OFC stands for Oxygen-Free Copper. Cables made with OFC conductors have fewer impurities, which leads to better conductivity, improved signal transmission, and reduced signal degradation over the length of the cable.

Can this cable be used for microphones?

This cable is designed for line-level audio signals, not typically for low-level microphone signals which often require XLR connectors and different impedance matching. It is best suited for connecting audio sources to amplifiers or speakers.

What is the gauge of the copper conductors?

The product information does not specify the exact AWG (American Wire Gauge) for the conductors, but it highlights that they are made of pure copper for optimal signal quality.

Is this cable shielded?

While the product description emphasizes OFC and pure copper conductors, it does not explicitly state the type or effectiveness of the shielding. For very sensitive environments or long runs where interference is a concern, further investigation into shielding specifications may be warranted, though its short length generally minimizes such issues.

Can I connect two mono devices with this cable?

If your source device has a 6.35mm stereo output and your destination devices have corresponding mono phono inputs (e.g., a stereo mixer input broken out into two mono channels), you can use this cable. Ensure you connect the correct phono plug (typically white for left, red for right) to the appropriate input channel.

What is the maximum signal level this cable can handle?

This cable is intended for low-level audio signals, such as those from line-level outputs of instruments, media players, or mixers. It is not designed for high-power speaker-level signals.

Troubleshooting

No sound or intermittent sound

Ensure the 6.35mm jack is fully inserted into the source device and the phono plugs are securely seated in the destination device. Check that the correct input is selected on the destination device. Inspect the cable for any visible damage.

Humming or buzzing noise

Verify that all audio equipment is properly grounded. Ensure the cable is not routed near high-power electrical cables. Try a different cable to rule out a fault with this specific unit.

Sound only in one channel (left or right)

Confirm that the source device is outputting a stereo signal. Check the connections of both phono plugs, as one may be loose or improperly seated. Test the cable with different equipment if possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality sound reproduction due to pure copper conductors.
  • Reliable signal transmission for low-level audio.
  • Durable OFC cable construction.
  • Compact length is perfect for close-range setups.

Cons

  • Limited reach due to the short 15cm cable length.
  • Not suitable for long-distance audio connections.
  • May require extension cables for non-adjacent equipment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the 6.35mm stereo jack into the corresponding output port on your audio source device (e.g., mixer, keyboard, audio interface). Connect the twin phono (RCA) plugs into the input ports of your destination device (e.g., amplifier, speakers, mixer). Ensure a firm connection at both ends.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for connecting devices with a 6.35mm stereo output to devices with standard phono (RCA) inputs. It is suitable for low-level audio signals and is commonly used for consumer and semi-professional audio equipment.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
  • Keep the connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Do not expose the cable to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
