Blue Jeans Cable RCA Subwoofer Cable LC-2 20‑ft Black Double‑Braided

Description

Product Overview

The LC-2 RCA subwoofer cable from Blue Jeans Cable is engineered specifically for unbalanced analog audio connections, delivering performance that exceeds typical stock cables. Each conductor is made from bare copper, providing excellent conductivity, while the outer jacket is a soft PVC that protects the cable from abrasion and environmental factors. The cable is available in a range of lengths from 6 foot to 50 foot, and in both black and white color options, allowing installers to match any system aesthetic.

What truly sets the LC-2 apart is its double‑braided shielding architecture. Two layers of high‑coverage bare copper braid are wrapped directly over each other, creating a barrier that blocks electromagnetic interference and radio‑frequency noise. This shielding, combined with a low capacitance of approximately 12 pF per foot, minimizes signal loss and prevents the hum that often plagues subwoofer connections. The result is a clean, tight bass response that reproduces low‑frequency content with accuracy and depth.

The cable terminates in Taversoe RCA plugs that are gold‑plated on all contact surfaces. The leaf‑spring design grips the RCA jack firmly without over‑tightening, protecting both the plug and the receiving jack from damage. Each plug is a male‑to‑male connector, making it compatible with a wide variety of subwoofer, amplifier, and pre‑amp inputs. The LC-2 meets the BJc specification and is listed as a top‑selling subwoofer cable on major retail platforms.

Usage

Designed for both indoor and outdoor environments, the LC-2 cable excels in home theater installations, professional recording studios, and live‑sound venues. In a home theater, the cable can be run from a dedicated subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer enclosure, ensuring that deep bass notes remain punchy and free of distortion. In a studio setting, engineers rely on the low‑capacitance construction to preserve the integrity of reference monitors and powered subwoofer units, especially when long cable runs are required.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the flexible PVC jacket. The cable can be routed through wall cavities, conduit, or along baseboards without excessive stiffness. When running the cable outdoors, the double‑braided copper shield provides an extra layer of protection against weather‑induced noise, while the PVC jacket resists UV degradation. Users should avoid sharp bends that could stress the braid, but the cable’s inherent flexibility makes it forgiving in most real‑world scenarios.

Maintenance of the LC-2 cable is minimal. Periodic visual inspection for physical damage and cleaning of the RCA plugs with a dry, lint‑free cloth will keep the connection reliable. The gold‑plated contacts resist corrosion, extending the service life even in humid environments. For long cable runs, it is recommended to secure the cable at regular intervals to prevent sagging, which can affect the shielding effectiveness.

FAQ

What makes the LC-2 cable better than a standard RCA cable?

The LC-2 uses a double‑braided copper shield and a low‑capacitance dielectric, which together reduce noise, hum, and signal loss. Standard RCA cables typically have a single shield and higher capacitance, leading to degraded bass response over longer distances.

Can I use the LC-2 cable for outdoor installations?

Yes. The cable’s double‑braided shielding and durable PVC jacket are designed to withstand outdoor conditions, including exposure to sunlight and moisture, while still delivering clean audio.

What lengths are available and how do I choose the right one?

The LC-2 is offered in lengths ranging from 6 ft to 50 ft. Choose a length that comfortably reaches from your amplifier or receiver to the subwoofer without excess slack, which can cause unnecessary strain on the cable and connectors.

Is the cable compatible with all subwoofer models?

The LC-2 features standard male‑to‑male RCA connectors, making it compatible with any subwoofer, amplifier, or pre‑amp that uses RCA inputs. It works with both consumer‑grade and professional‑grade equipment.

What warranty does Blue Jeans Cable provide?

Blue Jeans Cable offers a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase. The warranty includes repair or replacement of defective units, and the support team is available to assist with any issues.
