Monoprice 1.5ft 22AWG 5-RCA Component Video/Audio Coaxial Cable (RG-59/U) – Black

Yes the wires are stiff and I honestly don’t know why they placed the audio R/W on opposite sides but there is an easy remedy. See my picture and notice I pulled the audio wires apart because everyone knows on any audio/video equipment these are next to each other, not opposite. Why the wire is a flat setup is beyond me but that’s not a big deal by any means. I also pulled about 6” of the RGB apart to add more flexibility when connecting to an Amazon recommended component switch. Now it works perfectly. The cable is already high quality so I have no issues with that, it’s just the ribbon style along with being very stiff makes it difficult to move around being I got the 18” version. When you pull them apart, the quality doesn’t change but you get more freedom to move the wires around as you need. It doesn’t damage them in any way. Just grab the wire and pull down as much as you need. You can separate them completely if you need to do so. Get a longer cable and you’ll get more flexibility but don’t get any longer than you need. You don’t want signal degradation. Anyways, great product just follow what I did and it works even better. I haven’t noticed any quality difference by added this to my gaming capture setup. Good price for the quality as well. The RCA ends weren’t too tight for my setup and it’s going into my RT5X.
