Description
This Citronic audio lead connects a 3.5mm stereo (TRS) jack plug to two RCA phono plugs, giving you a straightforward way to link a headphone output, laptop or phone to an amplifier, mixer or powered speakers. The 6.0m length gives you room to run the cable across a room or between desk and rack without pulling anything tight. RCA plugs are sometimes called phono plugs in the UK, and the two-colour connectors keep left and right channels clear.
The build is aimed at regular use rather than occasional plug-and-play. Twinned high-grade cable carries pure copper conductors, with each conductor made from 12 strands at 0.1mm diameter, and cotton reinforcement adds strength inside the jacket. The overall cable measures a twin 5mm diameter (5 x 10mm) with a soft-grip, anti-tangle rubberised outer that resists knotting when you coil it. Shielding helps reject interference, so you get clean signal even in busy setups near other cabling and power.
Connections are machine-soldered to the die-cast RCA phono plugs and the stereo jack, which keeps joints consistent and reduces the weak points that cause dropouts over time. This makes the lead a sensible choice for home studios, DJ rigs, hi-fi feeds and AV work where you need a reliable stereo link. It suits anyone running audio from a source with a 3.5mm output into equipment that takes RCA inputs, and the length means you rarely need an extension.

Frequently Asked
What does this cable connect?
It connects a 3.5mm stereo (TRS) jack output to two RCA phono inputs, splitting the stereo signal into left and right channels.
How long is the lead?
The lead is 6.0m long, which suits runs between a desk, floor position or rack and your amplifier or speakers.
Is the 3.5mm jack stereo or mono?
It is a stereo TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) jack, so both left and right channels are carried to the two RCA plugs.
What are the conductors made from?
Each conductor uses 12 strands of 0.1mm diameter pure copper, with cotton reinforcement inside the cable for added strength.
Is the cable shielded?
Yes, it is a shielded audio lead, which helps reject interference and keep the signal clean around other cabling.
Will it work with my phone or laptop?
Yes, if your device has a 3.5mm headphone or line output, this lead will feed RCA inputs on an amp, mixer or speakers.
