Description

Three RCA Connector Cords.
2014.126.2.1: A RCA connector cord/cable. The cord has a gray rubber covering that splits into two separate cords towards each end, each covered in rubber covering individually. The cord has two "bullet plug" style plugs (hollow center conductor and the single pin point for the return signal) on each side of the plug, one with a yellow plastic coating, the other with a red.
2014.126.2.2: A RCA connector cord/cable. The cord has a gray rubber covering that splits into two separate cords towards each end, each covered in rubber covering individually. The cord has two "bullet plug" style plugs (hollow center conductor and the single pin point for the return signal) on each side of the plug, one with a yellow plastic coating, the other with a red.
2014.126.2.3: A RCA connector cord/cable. Cord has a gray rubber covering that splits into two separate cords towards each end, each covered in rubber covering individually. The cord appears to have an additional rubber element attached at the place where the cord moves from one single cord to two separate cords, on both sides. The cord has two "bullet plug" style plugs (hollow center conductor and the single pin point for the return signal) on each side of the plug, one with a black plastic coating, the other with a red.
