Hi, I would like to send stereo audio signal using an existing in-wall RG6 cable from one room to another. My music server in one room has RCA outputs and my receiver in the other room has RCA inputs. What kind of adapter do I need to connect these two components using the RG6 cable and still maintaining the stereo separation and CD quality? Thank you very much.

You can actually terminate RG6 with RCA compression fittings. If you are using wall plates, you can use a plate with a F-connector on the in-wall side and a female RCA connector in the room.
I'm sure there are some sort of argument someone will make on the impact to the quality, but it works fine if you're trying to get by with what you've got.Danish -
Thanhs dyazdani, I appreciate your suggestion. I guess in that case I would need to use a RCA Y-adapter, right? Would a Y-adapter still keep the stereo separation?Comment

Since you only have one RG6, you would need to get an analog to digital convertor and send it via coaxial digital. If you receiver doesn't have a coaxial input, you would then need a DAC (digital to analog) on the other end.
Of course if the server all ready has a digital output you can use that (you might need an optical to coaxial converter)
Y'ing the output would not keep the stereo signal and would probably damage the music server.

I wasn't thinking about having only one cable, for some reason I was thinking you had multiple. Kevin is right on...Originally posted by SpaniardDanishComment

Here is another idea. Let me know what any of you think.
I just noticed that I have an available digital Coax output available in my music server. Can I have a hook up this coax thru an adapter to the RG6 cable, and in the other room hook up the other end of the RG6 to a small Digital to Analog converter with RCA outputs?Comment

I guess I read Kevin mind. Thank you very much.Comment

You could actually go straight coax to your receiver if it has a coax digital input. Otherwise, it probably has at least an optical input. You can get a coax to optical converter in that case.DanishComment

That seems more reasonable.Originally posted by SpaniardKal Rubinson

I have just recently found out that you can create RCA Cables out of Cable Coax. I was wondering if it is a good idea to do this or not.
What companies make the best coax and rca connectors? The Best sheilding? What type of Coax? If RG6 Analog Video or Digital video Coax? -
I'll be obtaining a 5ch amp shortly and would like to utilize my PC's analog 5.1 output to send directly to the amp but I'm having a heck of a time locating a nice all in one, colour coded and/or labeled breakout cable to do so (3 male mini-jacks to 6 female RCA's).
I've been "Googling"... -
I am setting up an LCD projector and I have to connect a "Y" adapter to the two audio (red/white) and the yellow video connectors from my DVD player. All I can find a Radio Shack are audio "Y" adapters, will those work with the yellow video signal, are RCA audio and video cables... -

I have a Runco IDP980 (8" CRT) projector which has served me well since 1996. Wish I could say the same for my Faroudja LD 100 line doubler, which was great for anamorphic DVDs but now has completely died on me. Living in Brazil now, which means buying fancy new DLP projector is not an option...
