Audio Cable ShiverPeaks BS20-32015 0.5m 3.5mm to 2 x RCA Black

The Audio Cable ShiverPeaks BS20-32015 0.5m 3.5mm to 2 x RCA Black is a short interconnect cable designed to transmit stereo audio signals from devices with a 3.5mm headphone or line output to equipment with left/right RCA inputs. The cable measures 0.5 m and features a single 3.5mm male plug on one end and two male RCA plugs on the other. Gold-plated contacts and 28 AWG conductors provide reliable conductivity and a balance of flexibility and mechanical strength. Its black jacket offers a discreet appearance suitable for home audio systems, portable players, and media devices.

Advantages

This cable provides straightforward, analog stereo connection without adapters or active conversion. Gold-plated contacts reduce corrosion and help maintain consistent signal transfer over time. The 28 AWG wiring gives good durability while keeping the cable flexible for routing behind furniture or in compact setups. The compact 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable clutter and signal degradation for short-distance connections between components.

Suitable for

• Connecting smartphones, tablets or laptops to stereo receivers or powered speakers with RCA inputs
• Linking portable audio players to home audio systems for music playback
• Feeding analogue input on televisions, mixers or amplifiers from a 3.5mm source
• Temporary or permanent connections in desktop or entertainment center setups where short runs are sufficient

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Connector A: 3.5mm male stereo plug
• Connector B: 2 x RCA male plugs (left and right)
• Conductor gauge: 28 AWG
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity
• Colour: black

How to use

Identify the 3.5mm output on your source device and the left/right RCA inputs on your target equipment. Insert the 3.5mm plug into the headphone or line output, and plug the RCA connectors into the corresponding left (white) and right (red) RCA jacks on the receiver or speaker. Ensure connections are fully seated. Adjust source and receiver volume levels before playback to avoid sudden loud signals. When disconnecting, grip the connector bodies rather than pulling on the cable to reduce strain on the terminations.

Usage recommendations

For best signal quality, keep the 0.5 m cable run as direct as possible and avoid running it parallel to mains power cables. Use the cable for short-distance analog connections; for longer runs or balanced connections, consider appropriate cable types designed for those scenarios. Store the cable coiled loosely to preserve flexibility and avoid sharp bends near the connectors.
