Calrad 55-979 Rca to Rca Audio Patch Cable 5 Feet

Product Description

The CALRAD 55-979 is an RCA-to-RCA audio patch cable designed for connecting audio components in residential and commercial AV installations. The cable terminates in RCA male plugs on both ends, featuring polarized and molded ends for secure, consistent connections. At 5 feet in length, it serves as a speaker jumper or signal interconnect between receivers, amplifiers, source components, and passive speakers. Electrically and AV installation technicians rely on this cable type for clean, low-loss analog audio signal routing in fixed or semi-permanent setups.

This patch cable is suited for short-run audio connections in home theater systems, installed sound environments, and equipment rack wiring. The molded connector bodies protect the termination points from stress and strain, making this a reliable option in both new construction wiring and retrofit installs where a short RCA jumper is needed between components.

Key Features

• RCA male plug on both ends for standard audio interconnection
• Polarized connectors for correct channel orientation
• Molded ends provide strain relief and protect the termination
• 5-foot length suits short-run rack and component wiring

Compatibility

Designed as a standard RCA male-to-male audio patch cable compatible with any audio component or speaker system that accepts RCA connections.

Installation Notes

Power down all connected audio equipment before installing or removing signal cables. Ensure RCA connectors are fully seated and the polarization is matched to the correct channel on both source and destination components. Low-voltage audio wiring of this type does not require licensed trade work in most jurisdictions, but installations inside walls or above ceilings may be subject to local building and fire codes regarding cable ratings.
