looking for RCA cable - just the wire, not the ends.

since it looks like ur question is answered and were on the topic, does anyone kno if there is such thing as an rca cable extender? like female one end and male the other. Also it has to have audio and video.(for the playstation in the car)

not tryin to jack ur thread jus wondering

Then add your own RCA's.

EDIT : They are female to female connectors.

what about the video part

 

[Haden 10+ year member]

or have one video and one audio?

what about the video part

They make singles on these too.

i just looked in my basement and found about 20 ft of monster RCAs. How convenient Now for those connectors....

somehow i doubt ill need thirty....

Ok, I have no idea what I was talking about anyway. Looked like the guy put turned the 4 conductor wire into a 2 conductor wire, by twisting the wires together... Which would be the same as the KL3 wire, just a 2 conductor wire already.

If your refering to my link, he used shielded 4 conductor wire. It was not just speaker wire like the KL3 Knu wire. That speaker wire has no shielding.

yes, shielding is a must when considering wire for SIGNAL lines.

the reasoning is - you are sending milivolts down these lines, not something like 20~30acv that has a strong signal out of the amp - and needs no signal reinforcement.

since there are many many emi producing things inside a car, for example, the alternator is one of the MAIN emi producing devices there is, and the power wire run from your battery to your amps.

every current of electricity produces its own little electromagnetic field. this is the basis of how a speaker works. by coiling the wire upon itself, you generate a compound field that can get quite strong. so strong in fact, they are making a class-21 carrier for the US navy that uses electro magnets to launch the multi-ton jets from 0 to 200+ mph in a few seconds. so a power wires magnetic field is so much stronger than the field from the singal of your music (wich for most headunits, the max output is 2v and almost no current) that it will introduce noise by radiation into the signal - usually a high pitched whine caused by the alternators revolutions and feedback into the electrical system of the car.

so. in short. a (or multiple) braided shield is used in conjunction with dielectric materials to repel outward electromagnetic interference and keep the origional field integrity.

thus - me looking for cost effective and pretty RCA signal wire so i can build my cables to the length of my vehicle while keeping induced noise at a minimum. and i think im going to look into the Canare star quad wire because it looks like the exact thing im needing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

thanks otrhorse. that was exactally what i was looking for.

cant you just use a BNC or coax cable?

Thanks for the in depth explanation. I guess I jumped to conclusion without knowing exactly what I was talking about, and nG, sorry for wasting your precious time reading my post. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Most RCA's are a type of coax cable...

see thats what I thought. This really shouldn't be a hard task to do then...

go to Altex grab a digicoax(for better shielding) 100fter and some connectors and slice and dice away. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
