2Pack Stereo RCA to Stereo RCA Audio Signal Extender Over Cat5 (2X RCA to RJ45 Female)

worked great, affordable, matched description, and delivered on time. would recommend

Simple and great idea. I needed to move an A/V received to a location on the opposite side of the room where no connections are located. I ran 50 feet of thin Cat6A and with a pair of these, I made all connections to my whole-home speaker system with no issues. Sound quality is great, and these were perfect for my use.I'd buy 'em again and will if I ever need to extend some RCA connections again in the future.

I am currently using these to send audio from my A/V rack to my Living Room sound bar, to create a full house audio type environment. They work flawlessly. I would like to see a little bit better quality RCA connector before using these on installs for clients. But for the price they are getting the job done quiet well. The installation for these is super easy if you are at all familiar with terminating RJ45 connectors. Or you should be able to buy a premade cable that can span the distance. Snap these onto the RJ45 and plug in to your audio equipment or TV. For those wondering it is a pack of two so it is enough to do a single run.

Works as advertised. Couldn’t find a bass knob for my amp anywhereeeeeeee. I went to many shops and none had a knob for my amp. My amp has the port that looks like a phone jack. All their amps and knobs had a headphone jack type of port. They all wanted me to buy a whole new amp so I can get a knob from them and that was $300+. I asked if maybe they had something similar to this and they told me it wouldn’t work. It worked fine for me. Buy this and the LC2 universal bass knob for under $40. Better than cashing out $300+ for a new amp and their labor fees.

My application is a run of about 150' with two RJ45 connections in that run. I have a SPDIF to RCA converter out of the TV and then this RCA to Ethernet converter. I get no hum or buzz as long as the SPDIF converter is on.

I tried these to send audio from my Peloton over my home’s CAT6 wiring to the amplifier driving ceiling speakers in the same room. While the setup technically works, I get a lot of 60Hz hum from the other wiring in the walls. I tried adding magnetic chokes but they didn’t help.

A real balun converts the signal from unbalanced to balanced and back. This device is only an adapter which converts the shape of the connector to the same connector used by real baluns. It provides NO isolation from one side of the circuit to the other and WILL NOT protect you from ground loops.If you just need to move a signal over an ethernet cable, this is fine, but if you actually need electrical isolation, this product description is lying to you and you should look elsewhere.

I didn't cut these adapters apart to see what is inside, but from the outside they seem like good quality.This is the RJ45 connector pinout, assuming the red plug is for the right channel and the white plug is for the left channel:Pin 1 - Shield, right channel (white/orange wire in T568B standard)Pin 2 - Hot, right channel (orange wire)pin 3 - Shield, left channel (white/green wire)pin 6 - Hot, left channel (green wire)Ethernet cables (CAT5, CAT6, etc.) have 8 wires arranged in 4 twisted pairs. For the purpose that this adapter was designed for (sending a stereo audio signal over a length of Ethernet cable) it doesn't matter which of the 4 pairs is used for the right channel and which for the left, as long as the same type of adapter is used at each end of the cable.Many modern mixer consoles used in broadcast stations use RJ45 connectors for the audio inputs and outputs. One connector is used for each stereo channel, with one twisted pair used for Right and another for Left. The standard is the same as this adapter except that it is "upside down and backwards"."Upside down" because the HI and LO wires of each pair are reversed. That would cause the audio signals to be 180 degrees out of phase."Backwards" because the Right and Left channels are swapped.Since I needed to make up my own CAT5 cables anyway, I solved the problem by simply connecting pins 1/2 on one end to pins 6/3 on the other end and vice versa. (This is the same as a standard "crossover" cable except for the change in polarity.) Now I can make up patch cables without having to do any soldering.
