CESS-163-1f Low Noise 12 Gauge Premium RCA Audio Line Patch Cable (1 Foot)

I was looking for a good and short cable, quality materials are excellent, and performance is as well. No external noise, fit tide. I will purchase again if needed

Updated:As pictured, after looking at the terminals I found these to be Monster Cable brand rather than CESS, which used to be a very popular brand. Known for their high quality parts and durability.These RCA Cables are amazing AND affordable! They are 12awg and well shielded and the connectors fit perfectly snug, the goldilocks of a snug fit. I also have worlds best cables which have a much smaller gauge wire and fit too tight. I can’t tell the difference in audio quality between the $35 WBC and these $16 12awg RCA shielded cables! If you’re reading this I highly recommend you purchase these cables as they are much more affordable than other brands and they perform equally well, especially in a sensitive and highly detailed 7.2.4 dolby atmos setup. Save yourself some cash and get these, you won’t be able to tell a significant difference in audio quality between these and the more expensive brands. Try it🙂

I bought this to connect a Bluetooth wireless receiver to my vintage Nikko NR-1415 receiver to listen to internet music from my desktop computer. I am very pleased with the quality of these RCA cables. They are extra thick at 12 gauge and the music sounds great - just like directly listening to a cd. I would recommend them for any short distance (2 ft) audio interconnect.

Well made. Work well for their intended purpose. What more can I say?

After working with these cables for 6 months I can say that they do deliver good performance. Solid construction, reasonable shielding (as far as I can tell, the under shell connections are heat-shrinked), low noise. No issues with cables falling apart. The cable itself is surprisingly flexible and easy to route considering the size. Measured capacitance was 186pF and 195pF on the 2 foot length for cable a and cable b, higher than what I was expecting to see. Compared with home rolled cable at exactly the same length of 67.9pF using DX Engineering RG8X cable and CESS gold plated RCA connectors (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079TM1682?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title). Would that make a difference to most people? Probably not. The resistance is basically unmeasurable with the tools I have available for both cables. An audiophile purist would possibly notice a difference with the added capacitance. What I think is going on here is the size of the center conductor is actually pretty large at 12 gauge, one might even say unnecessarily large for very short lengths. The DX cable is 16 gauge and gives excellent results even out to 100 feet. Bottom line: it's good cable for the majority of people. If you must have the absolute best in specification, look elsewhere.

great cables

Needed short cables for my record player so that it looked neat. These worked great and are pretty heavy duty in both wire thickness and insulation. It’s a little pricier than others that are longer but it’s worth it to have everything tidy.

Perfect for connecting a Bluetooth reciever to an amp to control the audio level for my powered monitor subwoofer setup. Just measure your needed length very careful and keep in mind any curves you need to account for.
