RCA audio cable Hosa CRA-110, 3 m, male-to-male, oxygen-free copper, nickel-plated contacts, black

Hosa CRA-110 is a 3 m male-to-male RCA audio cable designed for line-level analog connections. The conductors are made from oxygen-free copper to maintain audio fidelity, and the RCA plugs feature nickel-plated contacts for reliable mating and corrosion resistance. The cable has magnetic shielding to reduce interference and preserve signal integrity when connecting playback devices, mixers, preamps, amplifiers and other equipment with phono jacks. The black jacket provides a discreet appearance suitable for both home and studio setups.

Advantages

The Hosa CRA-110 combines oxygen-free copper conductors with nickel-plated RCA contacts to provide clear signal transfer and durable connector performance. Magnetic shielding helps minimise hum and external interference on analog signal paths. Its 3 m length gives flexibility for typical placement between components while maintaining straightforward, unbalanced RCA connectivity. The black exterior offers a low-profile look that blends into most audio environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting a subwoofer to a hi‑fi receiver
• Linking CD/DVD/streaming players to amplifiers or receivers
• Patching line-level outputs from mixers or preamps to recording gear
• Analog interconnects in home audio and small studio setups

How to use

Insert each RCA plug firmly into the corresponding phono jack on your source and destination devices, matching left (white) and right (red) channels where applicable. Ensure devices are powered off when making connections to avoid pops or potential damage. Route the cable to avoid running parallel to mains power cables or strong electromagnetic sources to reduce possible interference. After connections are made, power the equipment and check audio levels before normal operation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs as direct as possible and avoid tight bends near the connectors. When using the CRA-110 in environments with significant electromagnetic noise, maintain separation from power cables and fluorescent lighting. For long-term installations, periodically inspect the nickel-plated contacts for debris or oxidation and clean gently if needed.
