This Kenable 006178 cable is designed for users needing to connect composite video and stereo audio signals from a source with three RCA phono sockets to a device requiring bare wire connections. Its key benefit is its flexibility for custom installations and faceplate integration, allowing for seamless A/V routing. A caveat is its short 0.2m length, which may limit placement options for some setups. The cable features three female RCA phono sockets on one end and bare wires (red, white, yellow) for left audio, right audio, and composite video on the other, with gold-plated contacts and RoHS compliance.

This cable is designed for composite video, which typically supports standard definition resolutions (e.g., 480i, 576i). It is not suitable for high-definition (HD) or ultra-high-definition (UHD) video signals.
No, this cable is for analog stereo audio (left and right channels via red and white RCA) and composite analog video (yellow RCA). It cannot transmit digital audio signals.
A 'bare end' refers to the wires at one end of the cable that are not terminated with a connector. This allows for direct connection to terminals, screw-down connections, or custom wiring.
Typically, the white wire is for the left audio channel and the red wire is for the right audio channel. The yellow wire is for composite video.
The product information does not specify shielding. For applications sensitive to interference, consider the environment and potential signal integrity needs.
Product information does not specify a warranty period. Please refer to the retailer or Kenable for warranty details.
Yes, the bare wires can be soldered to appropriate connectors or terminal blocks for a more permanent installation.
Ensure all bare wire connections are secure and correctly matched to the input terminals (e.g., yellow for video, red/white for audio). Verify that the source device is outputting a signal and the receiving device is set to the correct input.
Check for loose connections at both the RCA sockets and the bare wire ends. Ensure the cable is not damaged and is kept away from sources of electrical interference. Clean the gold-plated contacts with a dry cloth.
Use a coupler (e.g., RCA coupler) to join this cable with another RCA cable, or use a dedicated extension cable if connecting to a device that does not accept bare wires.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This cable is compatible with any audio-visual equipment that uses composite video and stereo RCA (phono) connections on one end and accepts bare wire inputs for these signals on the other. It is not suitable for digital audio or high-definition video formats like HDMI or component video.
Care:
To ensure longevity, keep the cable dry and away from extreme temperatures. Clean the RCA connectors and bare wire ends periodically with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connectors.
