MX1109 2RCA Male/2 RCA Male 1.5 Metre

The MX 1109 is a stereo RCA interconnect cable, 1.5 metres long, with two RCA male plugs at each end. It carries the left and right channels of an analogue stereo signal between equipment fitted with RCA sockets: a television and an amplifier, a media or disc player and an AV receiver, or any similar pairing in a home or office audio-visual setup. RCA remains the most widely fitted analogue connection on consumer and prosumer AV equipment, and a sound, well-fitting cable of the right length is what keeps that link free of the hum, crackle and dropped channels that worn or loose leads introduce.

Key features

• Two RCA male plugs at each end for stereo left and right channels
• 1.5 metre length for typical shelf and entertainment-unit runs
• Molded connectors that fit firmly and resist everyday wear
• Durable, flexible jacket that is easy to route behind equipment
• Works with TVs, amplifiers, players and AV receivers with RCA sockets
• Plug and play connection with no drivers, setup or external power

Everyday connections this cable covers

A dual RCA lead is the standard stereo link across several generations of AV gear. Use it to feed a television’s analogue audio output into an amplifier or powered speakers, to connect a DVD or media player to an AV receiver, to patch a turntable’s line-level output stage or a games console’s analogue output into an amp, or to add a source to a second zone amplifier. The paired plugs follow the usual colour convention, red for the right channel and white for the left, so channels stay correctly assigned when you connect both ends in the same order. At 1.5 metres, the MX 1109 spans the distance between stacked components, side-by-side units on a shelf, or a player and an amplifier on neighbouring levels of an entertainment unit, without leaving a long excess to hide.

Getting a clean, quiet connection

RCA is an unbalanced connection, so good practice matters. Push each plug fully home so the contact is firm along its whole surface; a half-seated plug is the most common cause of a missing channel or buzz. Route the cable away from mains leads and power bricks where the layout allows, since unbalanced runs can pick up hum when they travel alongside power cabling for long distances. Avoid tight bends immediately behind the plugs and do not let heavy equipment rest on the cable. If you do hear hum after connecting, reseat each plug in turn and check that the correct outputs are feeding the correct inputs before suspecting a fault elsewhere in the system.

Fit, handling and compatibility checks

Before ordering, count the sockets on both devices: this cable suits equipment with a pair of RCA outputs at one end and a pair of RCA inputs at the other. It carries analogue stereo audio; it is not a digital coaxial lead, a component video set or a subwoofer-specific cable, even though those also use RCA-style plugs, and a single remaining plug pair should not be split across unrelated duties. The molded connectors and flexible jacket are made for regular home and office handling: grip the plug body when disconnecting, coil the cable loosely for storage, and keep the contact surfaces clean and dry.

For a standard stereo RCA link of 1.5 metres between a TV, player, amplifier or receiver, the MX 1109 covers the job with secure molded plugs and a jacket built for daily use.
