Product Description
One RCA male plug feeds two RCA female sockets — this Y splitter takes a single audio or composite video signal and duplicates it to two destinations at once.
On a CCTV job that typically means sending one audio feed (say, from a microphone) into two recorder inputs, or pushing a composite video signal from a camera or DVR to a second monitor alongside the main display. The same part works on ordinary AV setups too — feeding a speaker and an amplifier input from one source, for instance.
Why it works reliably
Contacts are gold-plated or nickel-plated, which resists corrosion and keeps signal loss low over the life of the connector — worth knowing because a poor-contact splitter is a classic cause of a fuzzy or dropping-out picture. Being inline and compact, it sits neatly into an existing cable run without needing extra space in a rack or behind a monitor.
What's in the box
You get two adapters, not one — handy if you're duplicating feeds at more than one point on site, or just want a spare so a failed connector doesn't mean a trip out for more stock.
Check before buying
Confirm your DVR, camera, amplifier or monitor uses standard RCA phono connections — this adapter is a male-to-female splitter, not a converter, so it won't change signal type (e.g. composite to HDMI).

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this adapter actually do?
It takes one RCA male signal (audio or composite video) and splits it to two RCA female outputs, so one source can feed two destinations.
Will it work with my DVR or camera?
Yes, provided the equipment uses standard RCA phono connections — it's compatible with DVRs, cameras, amplifiers and other RCA-equipped AV gear.
How many adapters come in the pack?
Two — useful if you need to duplicate feeds at more than one point or want a spare on hand.
Does it convert composite video to another format?
No, it only splits the signal to two outputs of the same type — it does not convert between video formats.
