Customer Reviews
Avoid -- white and red connectors are reversed
The cable I received from CiTi Electronics may or may not have been a genuine RiteAV cable, as there was no visible logo or markings on it anywhere. It came in a sealed clear plastic bag, with no manufacturer logo of any kind.
It also did not look exactly like the one pictured on the Amazon.com page. Specifically, the red/white RCA connectors on the cable that I received did not have any visible gaps between the "teeth" of the connector as seen in the photo, which isn't that big a deal, but read on.
The big problem with the cable that I received is that it was wired BACKWARDS. I tested this cable with a continuity tester and clearly the tip was connected to the red connector, which is just plain wrong. There is an A/V industry standard for these cables: tip = white = left channel; ring = red = right channel. So if you use this cable and connect white to white, red to red, your left and right stereo channels will be REVERSED.
I wrote to CiTi about this and they wrote back: "Can you just use them by connecting them cross, I think that will make it simple solution, and who ever said red must be right, and white must be left, there is no regulation."
Had I known that this cable was incorrectly manufactured, I never would have purchased it. No wonder it costs next to nothing; it may be a factory reject dumped on an unsuspecting market. Sure you can use it if you connect red to white, and white to red, or repaint the connectors, but that would be ridiculous.
To their credit, after a few more emails, CiTi Electronics (also known as CyberTech of Hacienda Heights, CA) agreed to let me return the cable (at my expense), and they issued me a full refund.
In sum, if you still buy this product, you HAVE to test it, and be prepared to repaint or remark the connectors if it is wired backwards like the one I got.
cheap cable that works
not really much you can say in a review for a cheap cable cheaper than going to radio shack or wal-mart for the cable and it does the job it is supposed to
i saw the review where someone got a reverse wired cable so i tested and mine is properly wired the left channel comes from the left speaker and the right channel from the right speaker
the cable feels cheaply made and i do have my doubts about the durability but this cable isn't going to be tugged and yanked so it will do for my needs
defective
left speaker wire did not send output, waiting for seller to discuss an exchange. fast shipping on a broken product.
