Stinger SI4617 5M 4000 Series 6 Channel RCA Interconnects
Stinger SI4617 4000 Series 6-Channel RCA Interconnect, 5m
Audiophile-grade 6-channel RCA interconnect from the Stinger 4000 Series OFC conductors, C3 continuous connection construction, Shoc-Krome split-tip connectors, directional twisted-pair shielding. 5 metres (17ft).
Product Overview
The Stinger SI4617 is the 6-channel, 5-metre (17ft) version of the 4000 Series RCA interconnect range. With three stereo channel pairs, it is designed for 3-way active crossover systems, 5-channel amplifiers, and multi-zone car audio builds requiring front, rear, and subwoofer outputs in a single cable assembly.
Key technologies include C3 Tech (Continuous Connection Construction) for unmatched signal transfer, oversized OFC conductors for maximum clarity, directional twisted-pair winding for interference rejection, and Shoc-Krome plated split-tip connectors for exceptional signal transfer and long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 6-channel RCA interconnect used for?
A 6-channel RCA carries three stereo pairs (six individual signals) in a single cable assembly. This is required for 5-channel amplifiers (front left/right, rear left/right, and mono sub), 3-way active crossover systems, or any build requiring three sets of RCA connections to be run simultaneously between head unit and amplifier.
What is C3 Tech (Continuous Connection Construction)?
C3 Tech is Stinger's proprietary construction method that ensures the signal conductor maintains continuous contact with the connector body without micro-breaks or gaps — providing lower resistance and more consistent signal transfer compared to conventional construction methods.
What is a Shoc-Krome split-tip connector?
A split-tip connector features a tip that is cut into multiple segments, allowing it to flex and maintain 360-degree contact with the female RCA socket. Shoc-Krome is Stinger's proprietary plating applied to the connector for corrosion resistance and superior conductivity.
Is the SI4617 suitable for subwoofer connections?
Yes. The 6-channel format typically provides one channel pair as a dedicated subwoofer output. The SI4617 is well-suited to systems with front, rear, and subwoofer amplifier connections run from the head unit.
What is the difference between the SI4617 and the SI429?
The SI429 is a 2-channel RCA from the 4000 Series (covered in this session). The SI4617 is the 6-channel version — for systems with three channel pairs requiring a single cable run. The SI429 suits standard 2-channel or mono amplifier connections.
