Calrad 55-989 Dual Rca Female to Female Cable 4 Ft

Product Description

The CALRAD 55-989 is a shielded stereo extension cable with dual RCA female connectors on each end, designed to extend existing RCA cable runs in two-channel audio and video systems. At 4 feet in length, it bridges short gaps between AV components without introducing excess slack. The shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI), preserving signal integrity across the connection. This cable is typically installed by AV integrators, low-voltage technicians, and knowledgeable DIYers working inside home theater racks, entertainment centers, or custom AV installations.

The 55-989 is suited for residential audio and video setups where a stereo RCA signal must be extended between a source component and a receiver, amplifier, or other AV device. Its compact 4-foot length makes it practical for short runs inside equipment racks or behind entertainment furniture where a standard male-to-female adapter cable falls short. The dual-channel configuration supports left and right stereo signal paths simultaneously.

Key Features

• Dual RCA female connectors on both ends for straightforward female-to-female extension
• Shielded cable construction reduces EMI and maintains clean signal transmission
• 4-foot length suited for short in-rack or behind-cabinet runs
• Two-channel stereo configuration carries left and right audio signals
• Compatible with standard RCA-terminated audio and video cables

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style extension accessory for use with standard RCA-terminated stereo audio and video cables in residential AV systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools and no power disconnection for passive signal cables, though it is good practice to power down connected AV equipment before making or breaking signal connections. Ensure the existing RCA cable ends seat fully into the female connectors on both sides to avoid signal dropout. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends or contact with AC power wiring, which can introduce hum or noise despite the shielding.
