Construction

A tough, black and blue nylon mesh braided jacket protects the wires within and flexes easily to bend around obstacles in an installation. The RCA connectors feature nickel-coated, split-tip center-pin conductors made from machined brass that hold themselves tightly in position. Each zinc alloy shell sports a satin chrome finish stamped with the Crutchfield logo, so you'll be sure this cable will take good care of your music.

Crutchfield wire

Crutchfield wire is made of oxygen-free copper, with no impurities that could raise its resistance to a signal's flow or add interference. Crutchfield wire meets all American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) standards for size, resistance, and insulation quality. Warranty: 1 year.

Are these cable constructed with a shield as well for noise rejection?

[ New User Dec 26, 2018 ]

2 answers

I think they are , they were a good quality cable.

[ Joe Dec 27, 2018 ]

Not sure although rca cables with shielding are usually a little thicker and more expensive. Unless noise rejection is something else.

[ CORY Dec 26, 2018 ]

does this need to be bolted/secured down underneath the seat? Or will it stay in place pretty well on its own?

[ Jeremy Sep 26, 2017 ]

that's up to you a few zip ties around wires that are there from the factory will make the install look oem
