Dual RCA Interconnect Cable
The Hosa CRA201 cable connects stereo phono jacks between consumer audio components. It uses Oxygen-Free Copper conductors to maintain signal clarity across the link. Nickel-plated plugs provide durable contact surfaces for repeated connections. The one metre length suits typical desktop or rack spacing.
Unbalanced Signal Limits
As an unbalanced RCA interconnect the cable is susceptible to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference over longer runs. The OFC spiral shield reduces noise pickup while keeping the cable flexible for routing. Length is fixed at one metre so it cannot be extended without adding connectors that may degrade performance. Ground-loop hum may still occur between devices with different earth references.
Replaces Thin Patch Cables
This cable upgrades from flimsy packaged patch cords that use stranded copper and minimal shielding. The heavier OFC conductors and spiral shield lower noise floor in critical listening or recording chains. It is not suited for balanced professional lines or speaker-level signals that require different connector types. Buyers needing multi-channel snakes or balanced XLR runs should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 1 m or 3.3 ft version of the Hosa CRA201 cable?
Both figures describe the same cable — 1 m equals 3.3 ft — so choose whichever unit you prefer.
What does the Oxygen-Free Copper conductor mean for audio quality in my system?
OFC conductors reduce resistance and oxidation, giving clearer signal transfer between stereo phono jacks.
How do the nickel-plated RCA plugs and OFC spiral shields affect real-world interference rejection?
Nickel plating resists corrosion for lasting contact, while the OFC spiral shield blocks EMI and RFI without stiffening the cable.
