For the heart of this cable we use a 24 gauge, 64 strand, oxygen free stranded copper center conductor. This results in an ultra low impedance cable that stays very flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interconnect cable features 5-way noise rejection. The center conductor is double isolated via a gas injected dielectric, and a conductive PVC jacket. By double insulating the the center conductor there is minimal signal loss and greater electrical noise rejection. The cable is triple shielded with a tinned copper faraday sheath, and a bifoil aluminum bonded polyester film which together provide 100% shielding coverage. By utilizing two different shielding methods, EMI and RFI, noise rejection is increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The multiple components of this technologically advanced cable are held together with a soft touch PVC jacket that\u2019s rugged, yet stays very flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In just four easy steps you can have the custom RCA cables you always wanted without the normal hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Z-Wire-RCA-Diagram.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"820\" src=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Z-Wire-RCA-Diagram-1024x820.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Z-Wire-RCA-Diagram-1024x820.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Z-Wire-RCA-Diagram-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Z-Wire-RCA-Diagram-768x615.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Z-Wire-RCA-Diagram.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cleanly cut the interconnect cable to the desired length. Trim and clean any loose or overhanging strands of shielding.<\/li><li>Loosen set screw on the RCA connector so the screw cannot interfere with the cable jacket when inserting the cable into plug. Push cable into the RCA connector with a \u201cscrewing\u201d action. Make sure the cable fully seats into the RCA connector.<\/li><li>Tighten the set screw until you feel it contact the outer jacket of the cable, then make three full turns of the screw to insure the the screw pierces the jacket and makes a solid ground connection.
