CNCESS CESS-163-2f Heavy Duty Low Noise 12AWG Premium RCA Audio Patch Cable (2 Feet)

CNCESS correction These are excellent and appear to be monster ends at least. Installed in car audio system. I like to have good cables but don’t feel that overly expensive ones are needed and these fit the bill perfectly. They are thick and very supple for their size. Surprisingly supple actually. They provide the sound you would expect from quality cables and the rca’s are as good as can be. Made in USA! -The main reason I chose these aside from the value. I like that they come in various lengths and frankly they look great and visually provide peace of mind. I notice no noise with the connection and will be happy to only buy these for future needs. Do you need 12awg signal wire? Idk and probably not and idk if it actually is 12 but you can tell they are really well insulated and that’s what counts and probably has something to do with the awg as well. Regardless, a very very good value and generally as good as rca’s need to be.

Updated: As pictured, after looking at the terminals I found these to be Monster Cable brand rather than CESS, which used to be a very popular brand. Known for their high quality parts and durability. These RCA Cables are amazing AND affordable! They are 12awg and well shielded and the connectors fit perfectly snug, the goldilocks of a snug fit. I also have worlds best cables which have a much smaller gauge wire and fit too tight. I can’t tell the difference in audio quality between the $35 WBC and these $16 12awg RCA shielded cables! If you’re reading this I highly recommend you purchase these cables as they are much more affordable than other brands and they perform equally well, especially in a sensitive and highly detailed 7.2.4 dolby atmos setup. Save yourself some cash and get these, you won’t be able to tell a significant difference in audio quality between these and the more expensive brands. Try it🙂

These cables are well insulated with quality connectors. They bend well enough for my application, not flimsy. 5 pairs run my CD transport, Digital To Analog Converter (DAC), Equalizer, and two headphone amps. They are made here in the states and are an incredible value. I wouldn't buy any other brand. Every time I aquire another piece of equipment, I go ahead an order a pair of these to arrive at the same time. Because my equipment is stacked one piece atop the other, I do well with the 1 foot cables. Mine came in at 13" plus the connectors (or exactly 12" if you include the rubber bend protectors as part of the connectors). On occasion, I've needed that tiny bit of length, so I'm grateful for how they measured it. I wanted short lengths because the back of my equipment is partially visible in the room.

Works perfectly. I used it for my car’s sub system. Connected it from my analog converter to my amplifier. The cable quality is great, and sounds perfect. Plus the cable looks amazing!

I’m waiting for Memorial Day sales to replace my broke down AVR. Got these to pair a new 5 channel amp (Monolith M5100x). These literally say Monster Cable on them! They feel exactly like all my old MCs. Nice quality feel, sturdy construction. Once my system is back up and running, I’ll update my review. Hopefully I don’t have to lower from 5 stars.

These are nice cables, nice materials, they attach to my components with a satisfyingly nice firm fit while the fit and finish of their construction is nice - I expect a long service life from these.

After working with these cables for 6 months I can say that they do deliver good performance. Solid construction, reasonable shielding (as far as I can tell, the under shell connections are heat-shrinked), low noise. No issues with cables falling apart. The cable itself is surprisingly flexible and easy to route considering the size. Measured capacitance was 186pF and 195pF on the 2 foot length for cable a and cable b, higher than what I was expecting to see. Compared with home rolled cable at exactly the same length of 67.9pF using DX Engineering RG8X cable and CESS gold plated RCA connectors (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079TM1682?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title). Would that make a difference to most people? Probably not. The resistance is basically unmeasurable with the tools I have available for both cables. An audiophile purist would possibly notice a difference with the added capacitance. What I think is going on here is the size of the center conductor is actually pretty large at 12 gauge, one might even say unnecessarily large for very short lengths. The DX cable is 16 gauge and gives excellent results even out to 100 feet. Bottom line: it's good cable for the majority of people. If you must have the absolute best in specification, look elsewhere.

This item was purchased for a reason. 1, the claim is it is a 12 gauge wire and is heavily shielded. 2, RF interference, or the buzzing/ feedback noise coming from my amplifier in a camper trailer. I also bought some copper braided sleeve to put on one set of these cables to block interference. I left the other set as built with no sleeve added. After testing there is no longer any unwanted noises coming from my amp, which is connected to a Sirius Sat. receiver. This is the 3rd. set of cables, the 1st. and 2nd. both failed to stop the noise. (Luckily I had those all in my drawer of stereo stuff, so I didn't buy any extras.) 1 set was inexpensive and thin. The second set looks as good as this brand, but also failed to give results. These cables could grip tighter on the RCA posts, however that could be the result of companies using cheap female posts on their equipment that isn't sized correctly. This is the only negative I've found. If you want quality patch cords, I highly recommend these cables. Especially if you're getting interference noises. It worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you in your application as well.

Good quality product worked great to connect my amp to the stereo head unit.

Excelente calidad. Están funcionando perfectamente.

La construcción y el blindaje de este cable me parecen adecuados! La mejora en la conexión con mis equipos es notable, se sintió el cambio cuando lo reemplaze por el que tenía! Voy a pedir otro para completar mi configuración!

Look good, work well, and look very professional.

Expensive but worth every penny. Quality is same as described. You wont regret.
