Product Features
Technical Overview
This audio cable uses a Mini-phone/RCA design that converts stereo audio signals from a 3.5mm female connector to dual RCA male connectors. The 3.5mm end features a 3-position female mini-jack compatible with standard headphone or line-out ports, while the RCA end splits the signal into left and right channels through separate male plugs.
The cable construction prioritizes both performance and environmental responsibility. Nickel plating on the connectors ensures consistent electrical contact and longevity, while the RoHS compliance confirms the absence of hazardous substances like lead or mercury. The PVC jacket provides flexibility and protection against everyday wear.
