Compact 6-Inch Y-Cable for Portable Audio
The Cables To Go 40424 connects a single 3.5mm stereo jack to two RCA plugs on a 6-inch lead. It suits anyone linking a phone, tablet or laptop to a stereo amplifier or powered speakers without excess cable clutter. The short length keeps desktop and mobile set-ups tidy.
Analogue RCA Interface Limits
RCA connectors carry unbalanced line-level audio and are vulnerable to hum over long runs, so the 6-inch span is practical only for close-proximity gear. The 26 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors with foil shielding reduce EMI and RFI pickup, yet the cable cannot compensate for ground-loop issues between mains-powered components.
Moulded Strain Relief and Nickel Contacts
Fully moulded connector bodies anchor the 26 AWG conductors, preventing wire fatigue at the solder joints during frequent plugging. Nickel-plated brass contacts resist oxidation for consistent conductivity over time. The three-connector Y layout adds negligible bulk, fitting behind equipment racks or in crowded device bags.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 6 inch version or a longer cable for my desktop setup?
The 6 inch length keeps the signal path short, which helps maintain audio quality; choose a longer cable only if the components are farther apart.
What does the 26 AWG conductor mean for sound quality on this cable?
26 AWG oxygen-free copper with foil shielding reduces resistance and blocks EMI/RFI, delivering clean stereo audio without audible noise.
How does the 3.5mm female to dual RCA male interface limit what I can connect?
It adapts a single 3.5mm stereo source to left and right RCA inputs, or combines two RCA outputs into one 3.5mm plug, but cannot carry digital or multi-channel signals.
