Calrad 55-949-s 3.5mm Mono to Rca Shielded Audio Cable 6ft

Product Description

The CALRAD 55-949-s is a shielded audio cable designed to connect devices with a 3.5 mm mono output to equipment that accepts an RCA input. One end terminates in a 3.5 mm mono male plug and the other in an RCA male plug, making it a direct solution for signal conversion between mismatched connectors. The shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference and minimizes signal loss, supporting cleaner audio reproduction. At 6 feet in length, it provides adequate reach for most bench, rack, or desktop installs. The flexible outer jacket allows easy routing through tight spaces without compromising the cable integrity.

This cable is suited for residential home entertainment setups, recording environments, and professional audio applications where a 3.5 mm mono source must feed an RCA input. Typical use cases include connecting smartphones, tablets, laptops, or portable media players to mixers, receivers, or powered speakers. It is also a practical fit for computer audio interfaces that output via 3.5 mm mono and feed into RCA-equipped amplifiers or recording gear.

Key Features

• 3.5 mm mono male plug on one end for direct connection to mono audio outputs
• RCA male plug on the opposite end for standard single-channel analog input connections
• Shielded cable construction reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
• 6-foot length provides reach flexibility for rack, desktop, and entertainment center installs
• Flexible jacket supports easy routing without kinking or signal degradation

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-connect cable for any device with a 3.5 mm mono audio output feeding equipment with a standard RCA analog input, including mixers, receivers, powered speakers, and audio interfaces.

Installation Notes

This cable is installed by audio technicians, AV integrators, and experienced DIYers. No tools are required beyond proper connector seating. Ensure source and destination devices are powered down or muted before connecting to prevent signal pops that could damage speakers or amplifiers. Route the cable away from AC power lines and transformers to preserve the shielding benefit.
