Audio Cable ShiverPeaks BASIC-S 3x RCA - 3x RCA 5.0m

The ShiverPeaks BASIC-S 3x RCA - 3x RCA 5.0m is a 5-metre analogue audio cable with male RCA connectors on both ends designed for connecting devices with RCA inputs and outputs. Constructed from high-quality copper conductors and fitted with nickel-plated contacts, the cable provides reliable signal transmission and improved contact durability. Its four-colour marking (black, red, white, yellow) enables clear channel identification for left, right and additional connections.

Advantages

This audio cable combines a long 5.0 m reach with solid copper conductors to maintain consistent analogue signal quality across common home audio and AV setups. Nickel-plated contacts resist corrosion and offer stable connections in consumer equipment. Colour-coded connectors simplify installation and reduce the chance of channel mix-up when connecting receivers, amplifiers, DVD/Blu-ray players, TVs and similar devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting stereo audio components (left/right channels) between amplifiers, receivers and players
• Linking DVD/Blu-ray players, set-top boxes or older game consoles to TVs or AV receivers
• Extending existing RCA runs in home theatre or audio systems where a 5 m cable is required

Key specifications

• Length: 5.0 m
• Connector type: 3 x male RCA on each end
• Conductor material: high-quality copper
• Contact plating: nickel-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Colour coding: black, red, white, yellow for easy channel identification

How to use

Identify the corresponding RCA jacks on both source and target devices. Match the colour-coded connectors to the appropriate inputs and outputs (for example, red and white for right and left audio channels). Insert the male RCA plugs firmly into the device jacks until they seat. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and route the cable to prevent sharp kinks. For best results, ensure devices are powered off when making connections and power them on after all connections are secured.

Recommendations

For reliable audio performance keep cable runs as direct as possible and avoid running the RCA cable parallel to mains power cables to minimise interference. If you need longer runs or balanced connections for professional installations, consider using appropriate alternatives such as balanced audio cables or signal extenders.
