Onyx Series 12-Inch RCA Splitter

This Monoprice 138080 adapter splits a single RCA output into two female connections for left and right audio channels. It suits home-theatre owners who need to feed a stereo amplifier or a dual-coil subwoofer from one source device. The cable is not designed to combine two signals into one, so users requiring a summing function must choose a different product.

Passive Splitter Limits Signal Integrity

The 12-inch length keeps capacitance to the stated 22 pF per foot, but the passive Y topology cannot amplify or buffer the line-level signal. Long runs or low-output sources may lose level or introduce noise that this adapter cannot correct. It carries composite or digital coax signals but offers no active processing for format conversion.

Braided Jacket And Gold Contacts Resist Wear

A double copper braid shield under a braided nylon sleeve protects the 97-percent oxygen-free copper core from EMI and RFI while resisting nicks during in-wall pulls. Gold-plated RCA connectors reduce oxidation at the contact points. The CL2-rated jacket meets residential fire-safety codes for through-wall installation.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12-inch or 20-inch version for my setup?

Only the 12-inch model is offered here. The 20-inch figure in the data refers to product dimensions, not an alternative cable length.

How does the 22 pF per foot capacitance affect the audio signal in my system?

At 22 pF per foot the cable adds very little capacitive load, so high-frequency roll-off stays negligible across the 12-inch run.

What does the CL2 rating on this RCA adapter actually allow?

CL2 means the jacket meets fire-safety requirements for in-wall residential installation, so you can route it through walls legally.
