Audio Cable ShiverPeaks BS30851 0.2m 3.5mm 2 x RCA Black

The ShiverPeaks BS30851 audio cable is a short connection lead designed to link devices with a 3.5mm output to equipment with two RCA inputs. At 0.2 m length, the cable uses copper conductors and nickel-plated contacts to provide reliable signal transfer in a compact, black jacket. This straightforward adapter cable is intended for short-distance analog audio connections where a stereo 3.5mm source must be routed to left and right RCA channels.

Advantages

The cable's copper conductors deliver consistent conductivity while nickel-plated connectors offer corrosion resistance and stable contact. Its short length reduces signal degradation and clutter in tight setups. The compact form factor and neutral black finish allow discreet integration with home audio systems, portable players, computers and small mixers.

Suitable for

• Connecting a smartphone, tablet or laptop with a 3.5mm headphone output to an amplifier or active speakers with RCA inputs
• Routing audio from portable players to stereo receivers for quick playback
• Short patch connections in desk-based audio setups or AV cabinets

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.2 m
• Connector A: 3.5 mm male stereo
• Connector B: 2 × RCA male (left/right)
• Conductor material: copper
• Contact plating: nickel
• Colour: black
• Signal type: analog stereo

How to use

Insert the 3.5mm plug into the headphone or line output of the source device and connect the RCA plugs to the corresponding left and right inputs on the receiving equipment. Ensure correct channel assignment by matching the left (usually white) and right (usually red) RCA connectors to the input jacks. Use this cable for short, direct connections where cable length is sufficient to reach between devices without tension.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable away from high-power mains cables and sources of electromagnetic interference. Use the 0.2 m length for close-proximity connections to minimize signal loss; if you need to bridge larger distances, select a longer, shielded cable. Regularly inspect connectors for dirt and oxidation and clean them with an appropriate contact cleaner if necessary.
