This page is completely unrelated to my law practice. I set up this page to help other audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts. This time with comparing RCA cable capacitance.

Capacitance is shown as pF/ft and pF/m when available. Use this to estimate total load capacitance in phono setups.

RCA Cable Capacitance Comparison Tool

Pick a cable in each column to compare published capacitance specs side-by-side. If a field isn't listed, the page shows "--".

Tip: Total capacitance ~= (capacitance per length) x (length).
The tool estimates total pF using the best-match published basis available.

Cable A

Select a cable to see specs.

Cable B

Select a cable to see specs.

Data sources & notes

This is an aggregation project: I didn't measure these. Each entry includes a link back to a public source. Be careful comparing apples-to-oranges:

  • Coax often lists capacitance as conductor-to-shield.
  • Twisted-pair / star-quad often lists conductor-to-conductor and/or conductor-to-shield -- wiring choices can change the effective capacitance in unbalanced (RCA) use.
  • Values are often "nominal" and may vary by revision, temperature, or measurement method.
