Product Description
What it's for
The RCA Male Plug Connector Gold-Plated for CCTV Audio (SKU RCA-MALE-SPRING-RED) terminates coaxial or audio cable so it can plug into RCA sockets on CCTV and AV gear. It's built for analogue audio and composite video, not digital signals.
Where it's used
It's meant for wiring CCTV microphones into a DVR's audio input, or linking amplifiers and other RCA-compatible AV equipment. If your CCTV camera has a microphone and you want sound on the recording, this is the connector that joins the mic cable to the recorder.
Key details
- Contacts: gold-plated, which helps keep the connection stable and reduces signal loss over the cable run
- Termination: screw-on design — you assemble it onto the cable by hand, no soldering iron required
- Housing: metal, giving the connector some resistance to knocks and general wear during fitting
- Use case: analogue audio and composite video only
Before you buy
Check that the equipment you're connecting to actually has an RCA audio input — DVRs vary, and some only take audio on specific channels. If you're adding a microphone to an existing camera run, confirm the DVR supports audio input at all before running the cable.
