Description
This Citronic audio lead connects a 3.5mm stereo (TRS) jack plug to two RCA phono plugs, giving you a simple way to link a headphone output or line source to equipment that takes stereo RCA inputs. RCA plugs are also known as phono plugs, so you'll sometimes see them listed either way. At 3.0m long, it suits desktop, hi-fi and studio setups where you need a bit of reach.
We build these with twinned high-grade cable using pure copper conductors, with each core made up of 12 strands at 0.1mm diameter. The overall cable measures a twin 5mm profile (5 x 10mm) and has a shielded design to help keep interference down. The soft-grip, rubberised jacket is anti-tangle, so the lead stays tidy when you coil it or route it behind gear.
The connectors are die-cast RCA phono plugs and a stereo 3.5mm TRS jack, both machine-soldered for a consistent, reliable join. Cotton reinforcement inside the cable adds a bit of strength where the lead flexes. It's a straightforward, hard-wearing lead for everyday audio connections, whether you're feeding a mixer, an amplifier or a pair of powered speakers.

How long is the cable?
The lead is 3.0m long, giving useful reach for desktop, hi-fi and studio setups.
Are RCA and phono plugs the same thing?
Yes. RCA plugs are commonly called phono plugs, so the terms refer to the same connector.
What are the conductors made from?
Each core uses pure copper, with 2 x 12 strands at 0.1mm diameter for the two channels.
Is the cable shielded?
Yes, it's a shielded lead with a rubberised, anti-tangle jacket to help reduce interference and keep it tidy.
How are the connections made?
The die-cast RCA plugs and TRS jack use machine-soldered connections for a consistent, reliable join.
