These RCA male to XLR female cable are under 5 feet in length and serve as adapters used to interface unbalanced consumer‑level audio sources with professional XLR‑based equipment. The RCA plug connects to devices like playback decks, laptops, or media players, while the XLR female end allows the signal to feed into mixers, stage boxes, or audio interfaces that accept XLR inputs. Because the cable carries an unbalanced signal, keeping it shorter than 5 feet helps minimize noise and interference, making it useful for close‑range patching in production environments where consumer audio must be quickly integrated into a pro audio workflow.
