Description of 🍌 Corrosion-Resistant 24K Gold-Plated Banana Plugs - Mediabridge Connectors (5 Pairs/10 Plugs, Part# SPC-BP2-5)

Includes 5 pairs of banana plugs, which are meant for attaching to speaker wire and supplying a high-quality signal path from audio components like a speaker to an audio/video receiver, amplifier or other professional sound application. Compatible with bare wire, spades, or other banana plugs, and work with 8-18 AWG speaker wire. Connectors & crimping teeth are coated in corrosion-resistant 24K gold-plating for lasting, for secure fits with clarity, natural sonic accuracy and no distortion. A wider base minimizes shorting for maximum signal transfer, and a 2-piece screw-on design makes for reliable termination/reuse. Simply connect existing speaker wires to a banana plug through its bottom piece (step-by-step installation guide included). Self-crimping teeth make for easy one-time installs, and a low profile build only sticks out 1”. The heavy-duty plugs are color coded, distinguishing left from right to enable matching polarity. Fast-lock is a great plug-and-play alternative to using bare wire when connecting devices, taking away the hassle of crimping or soldering. Each plug has a female banana plug connector on the bottom, allowing you to hook up speakers to a single output.

Easy to install, good connections

These connectors appear to be of good quality with nice gold plating on the mating faces. Good metal case, very little plastic. Clear installation instructions for easy setup. Using it is simple: thread the speaker wire through the base of the connector (not the small side hole), bend the wire over the serrated teeth at the top of the inner tube, then screw the top in place. This keeps the speaker cable firmly in place - a slight tug on the cable will not cause it to move or slip. The jacks are

Pros
  • Includes 5 pairs of banana plugs designed to connect to speaker wire, providing a high quality signal path from audio components such as a speaker to an AV receiver, amplifier or other professional audio device.
Cons
  • So far so good

Product with good design

I've been using another popular brand of banana plugs for many years, but have had problems with loose connections over the years. Sometimes the wire will slip out of the connector and sometimes the connector will slip out of the connector. This is not typical of my experience with this other manufacturer's products, but I finally decided to do some research and see if there is a better product out there. These Mediabridge forks came highly recommended so I decided to give them a try. I…

Pros
  • Each plug has a banana plug at the bottom so you can connect speakers to an output.
Cons
  • Vulgarity

These connectors are secure, have a low profile and fit snugly into the connector. A little work to set them up, but well worth it!

Because my AVR is close to the wall, I needed something as low as possible to connect my speakers to. I've used the old style plugs - both screw and screw cap type - and in both cases they were much more profiled and protruded a fair bit from the back of the receiver when installed. To fix that, I bought these bananas. plug, and I'm glad I did. It takes a little extra work to carefully remove/expose the right amount of strands and then twist them together. However, once completed they remain…

Pros
  • Heavy-duty connectors are color-coded to distinguish between left and right sides and to ensure polarity consistency. Fast-Lock is a great alternative to using bare wire for plug and play devices, eliminating the need for crimping or soldering.
Cons
  • Weight
