Wire to RCA Male Push Connector Adapter for CCTV and AV

The Wire to RCA Male Push Connector Adapter for CCTV and AV puts an RCA male plug on the end of bare wire. You strip the wire, push it into the terminal, and the connection is made. No soldering and no tools.

What the specs mean in practice

• Push terminal: stripped wire goes straight in. Useful on a ladder or at a cramped recorder, where a soldering iron is awkward.
• RCA male interface: the plug fits equipment with an RCA input. RCA is the round single-pin connector common on audio and video gear.
• Bare wire to RCA: it converts a loose cable end into a plug, so the cable can be connected to an RCA input.

Where it fits

It is made for CCTV (closed-circuit television) systems, DVRs (digital video recorders), cameras, amplifiers and other AV installations. A typical CCTV job is wiring a microphone's audio cable to a DVR or other recording device.

The compact body suits permanent installs. It also works for temporary setups during system testing or maintenance.

What else you need

• Wire with the end stripped back
• A device with an RCA input, such as a DVR's audio input

Check that the recorder or camera has a spare RCA input before you start. The adapter only terminates the wire.
