The LINK-RCA1 is a stereo RCA interconnect for the analogue stage of a desktop or hi-fi system: between a DAC and an amplifier, a streamer and a preamplifier, or a phono stage and the amp. This 80cm version suits conventional shelf and rack spacing between neighbouring components, and the same cable is also available in 20cm and 1.5m lengths for stacked desktop setups or longer runs.
Construction
The conductors are high-purity silver-plated monocrystalline copper, wrapped in a dual-layer shield of graphene-coated aluminium foil and tinned copper to keep interference out of the signal. Each core is reinforced with 500D high-strength nylon filament, and the cable is finished in a flame-retardant PVC sheath under a glossy polyester FDY braid, so it stands up to the pulling and flexing that everyday system connections see.
Connectors
The RCA plug housings are CNC-machined from anodised aluminium alloy, which resists wear and corrosion and gives the plugs a solid metallic feel. FiiO's signature arc profile on the housing follows the curve of a fingertip, making the plugs easy to grip when connecting and disconnecting. Red and white sleeves identify the right and left channels.
Finish
The braid is woven in gold, silver and green, a subtle multi-colour pattern shared across the whole LINK series, which also includes USB, coaxial, 3.5mm and XLR cables built on the same conductor and shielding recipe.
