Hi, can I use this in the reverse scenario than what seems to be intended, i.e., to go from stereo RCA outputs on one device to a 3.5 mm input on another device (incorporating a male-to-male 3.5 mm cable)?

BEST ANSWER: The website states:
While most mobile devices use the 3.5mm stereo headphone output, most home audio systems with an amplifier or receiver use RCA jacks for audio inputs. This cable is ideal for adapting the output of your mp3 player or phone to stereo RCA plugs for connecting to your home audio system.
To me the above means that the cable is ideal for connecting the output of a device with a 3.5 mm jack (such as an mp3 player or a phone) to the input of a device with RCA jacks (such as an amplifier or receiver).
I do not see any reason why you could not connect a device with an RCA output (such as an amplifier or receiver) to a device with a 3.5 mm input such as a speaker using a male to male 3.5 mm cable.
The cable can carry a signal in either direction. Just do not connect the output of one device to the output of another device. The cable is meant to be used to connect the output of one device to the input of another device.

I do not know. I was trying to reverse it myself by trying to plug-in two computers into one stereo speakers. It did not work and my boss who is a old-time broadcast engineer said I would need separate wires going into a mixer to make it work. He was also amazed that nothing was damaged in the attempt.

The answer is Yes... This is a direct-wired device that works in either direct and is a good quality cable. Your plan will work fine... Hope this helps.

Will this adapter work if I have a headset with a single male end, but needs to be plugged into our TV that has two (red & white) female jacks for sound output?

BEST ANSWER: Hello, thank you for your inquiry. Yes you may this adapter as such, just make sure that the output on the TV is actually an audio out and not an audio in and this should work properly. I hope this helps, thank you!

No, you need a cable like this but with a FEMALE 3.5 mm end so you can insert the male end of your headset into it and connect the two RCA (red & white) ends to your TV sound output.

Yes, it will effectively turn the RCA outs into a 3mm headphone jack.

Is the overall length of this 6" (including the ends/fittings), or is the cable portion 6" and the overall length including the ends is 8" or something?

It is somewhere in the middle. It’s just shy of 7” from plug to plug tip. 6.5” would be the length from plug to plug when plugged in.

The length of the cable section(from the end of one strain relief to the end of the next) is ~3.8".
The length of the entire cable is ~7".

I have a separate preamp hooked into my turntable. Can I use this to output to my headphones from the preamp?

Worked like a charm!
I needed this plus a RCA to 1/4 adaptor ( Also purchased from Monoprice) to run in to my mixer for my Comica wireless microphones.

Well made little cable.
Non-crappy versions of this particular type of cable seem to be rare. Happy to report that this seems like a pretty rugged cable. It gets used on stage so it needs durability!

Looks great, works poorly
Cuts out first time i tried it. Isolated this one cable as the source of cutting out. Without it everything's great. I needed this as an extension but it's got a short or something in it. I tried fiddling with it, but cannot get it to keep a clean signal. Will be returning.

Watch Out For Left-Right Channel Glitch
Bought 3 of these adapters in one batch, all 3 have the same issue. Turns out, the right (red) RCA connector is mapped to the tip position of the 3.5mm jack, and the left (white) RCA connector is mapped to the ring position. This has the effect of reversing the stereo soundstage, which is a mind-mess during movie/tv viewing.
I solved my issue by swapping the RCA connections at my audio source, but if the cables had been built to standard convention for TRS phone plugs/jacks, there would be no need for troubleshooting and a work-around.
Aside from that, it's a solidly built adapter, doesn't produce noise, and makes a reliable connection. Overall, I'm satisfied with the purchase, left/right color assignments notwithstanding.
