A major cost component of cables is copper, so cheap cables have less copper & a thick outer cable jacket to fool the buyer into thinking they are getting something they are not. Compromising can result in cables which don't support high quality Audio & results in flagging & ingress of noise interference. The cross-sectional area of Tecconnect cable conductors allows sufficient current-carrying capacity to support high quality transmission of audio signals, & the shielding is evenly wound. One end or the TC2-10M2PHO cable is pre-terminated with a phoenix captive screw connector ready to plug into back of a Techconnect V2 module & 2 RCA (Phonon) molded plugs on the other end that can be simply plugged into your TV, DVD Player, Amplifier or other compatible device. Techconnect cables give you the speed of a pre-terminated system with the flexibility you sometimes need so just in case you need to shorten a cable or to pull a cable through a small hole or cavity? Or if you need more than 7 meter but less than 10 m & no where to hide the excess cable just unscrew & remove the phoenix connector, cut the cable to length, prepare the wire ends for re-termination to the Phoenix screw connector.
