Monoprice 138076 Onyx Series 3ft RCA Cable – Gold-Plated, Double Shielded

Premium RCA cable for reliable stereo playback

In a home theater or hi-fi setup, the Monoprice Onyx Series 3 ft RCA cable is designed to carry line-level audio with clarity and consistency. Built around a high-quality RG-6/U conductor, this cable aims to preserve signal integrity as it travels between source devices and amplifiers. The two gold-plated RCA male connectors on each end promise corrosion resistance and a secure fit, so your left and right channels stay faithfully connected through multiple listening sessions.

The jacket features a braided nylon sheath that adds durability and a premium look while helping resist nicks and cuts. This makes the cable flexible enough to route behind furniture or along shelves, yet sturdy enough for regular handling. With a 3-foot length, it provides a convenient short-run option for connecting nearby components without excess slack.

What makes it stand out

• Gold-plated connectors help resist corrosion and promote stable connections.
• Two-channel design supports left and right audio channels for true stereo playback.
• 97% oxygen-free copper conductors designed for efficient signal transfer.
• Double shielding with copper braiding to guard against EMI and RFI.
• 75 ohm impedance and 22 pF per foot capacitance for consistent high-frequency performance.
• CL2 rated jacket suitable for in-wall or through-wall installations in many residential spaces.

In practical terms, you might use this cable to connect a CD player or turntable to an AV receiver, or to link an analog source to an amplifier in a home theater. The result is a clean, reliable connection for listening sessions or movie nights, with a touch of premium styling that complements other components.

Installation and compatibility notes

The Onyx Series is designed for line-level audio signals and two-channel stereo. The 75-ohm impedance and 22 pF per foot capacitance are characteristic of its coax construction, helping to maintain signal integrity over the 3-foot length. While performance depends on your entire setup, the cable offers a sensible balance of durability, shielding, and ease of use.

Two quick benefits at a glance

• Durable braided jacket combines protection with a premium appearance.
• Gold-plated connectors and shielding support stable, long-term connections.
