Generic “off-the-shelf” RCA audio plugs are quite common and have been in use for a very long time...well over 50 years! These old-style RCA type solder plugs have an impedance characteristic of roughly 25 ohm and exhibit extremely poor Return Loss performance when mated with precision 75 ohm coaxial video cable. In fact, they are virtually unusable for 6MHz Broadcast Video frequencies, high bandwidth RGB Video Monitor lines, or even Digital Audio data bit streams.

Canare’s all new 75 ohm type RCAP Video Crimp Plugs are impedance matched and achieve outstanding analog and digital electrical performance with a usable bandwidth to 200MHz.

Our original 3-piece connector design offers consistent and extremely reliable terminations with a wide variety of 75 ohm coaxial cable sizes. This unique construction reduces set-up and assembly time by >80% because no soldering is ever required!
