Description
Stinger XI326 X3 Series 2-Channel RCA Cable 6ft (1.8m) with Silver-Plated OFC Conductors and Locking Ends
The Stinger XI326 is a 2-channel RCA interconnect from the top-tier X3 Series, measuring 6 feet (1.8m) in length. Built around silver-plated pure OFC copper conductors with locking RCA ends, double twisted-pair construction and directional noise shielding, it is designed for installations where signal integrity and noise rejection are the priority. Sold as a single cable.
Product overview
The X3 Series sits at the top of Stinger's RCA cable range, combining a comprehensive set of noise rejection and signal integrity technologies into a single cable. Silver-plated OFC copper conductors carry the signal, while dual-layer shielding using Mylar foil and copper mesh tackles both EMI and radiated noise. The locking RCA ends with a quad-clamp precision 4-cut design eliminate the play and intermittent contact that standard push-fit connectors can develop over time, making the XI326 a dependable long-term choice for any installed system.
At 6 feet (1.8m), the XI326 suits most front-of-cabin installations connecting a head unit to an amplifier mounted under the seat or in the centre console area. The directional construction and tightly twisted conductor bundles are designed to work together as a system, so the cable should be run in the direction indicated by the cable markings for best results.
Features and benefits
C3 Tech — Continuous Connection Construction: The C3 Tech construction method provides consistent conductor contact and signal transfer across the full length of the cable, reducing the risk of signal degradation from flex or vibration.
Lock Tip RCA interconnectors with quad-clamp precision: The rotational locking end with a 4-cut quad-clamp design provides a secure mechanical connection that resists loosening from vibration, with a high clamping force for unsurpassed connection integrity.
ID Interference Defense — dual-layer shielding: Two layers of EMI-rejecting Mylar foil and radiated noise-absorbing copper mesh work together to eliminate unwanted noise and interference across the full signal path.
Dynamic Signal Flow — silver-plated OFC conductors: Finely stranded silver-plated pure OFC copper conductors optimise signal versus frequency interaction, preserving the full dynamic range of the audio signal.
Noise Shield Directional Construction: Three tightly twisted conductor bundles per channel (positive, negative and signal drain) create a directional noise-cancelling architecture that actively rejects interference introduced along the cable run.
Body Armor Protection: High-strength nylon fibres woven tightly around the ultra-flexible PVC outer jacket protect the cable against sharp metal edges, vibration and moisture during and after installation.

Frequently asked questions
What makes the X3 Series different from other Stinger RCA cables? The X3 Series is the top tier in Stinger's RCA cable range, combining silver-plated OFC conductors, dual-layer Mylar and copper mesh shielding, locking quad-clamp RCA ends, and directional twisted-pair construction. Lower-tier Stinger cables may share some of these features but not the full combination found in the X3.
What does the directional construction mean and does it matter how I run the cable? Directional construction means the cable is engineered to reject noise most effectively when run in a specific direction, indicated by markings on the cable itself. Running the cable in the correct direction ensures the noise-cancelling architecture performs as intended.
Are the locking RCA ends compatible with standard RCA inputs and outputs? Yes. The Lock Tip locking ends are compatible with standard RCA sockets. The locking mechanism engages with a rotational action on top of the standard push-fit connection, providing additional retention without requiring any modification to the head unit or amplifier.
Is the XI326 suitable for connecting a head unit to an amplifier? Yes. The XI326 is designed for exactly this application. At 6ft (1.8m) it suits installations where the amplifier is located under the seat, in the centre console or in a position close to the head unit. Longer lengths in the X3 Series may be required for amplifiers mounted further back in the vehicle.
Does the XI326 come with any warranty? Warranty information for this product is not confirmed in the current product data. Contact us for details on Stinger's warranty coverage for the X3 Series before purchasing.
