"That's one reason so many cables have glue-backed heat shrink that covers the jacket and the barrel of the RCA connector."grailer makes a good point as it is a great idea to heatshrink a lot of the rca plug, especially if it has a metal/conductive body. When connected to your components, you do not want the L/R shorting out. Heatshrink can help you here too.
One thing I do to all my cables if take a special glue, and surround the base of the stripped wire lead, then heatshrink the base of the stripped off lead using 3:1 heatshrink. This creates an air-tight connection (if done properly!) and works quite effectively to delay oxidation of the copper conductor at the termination point. You may use a "contact enhancer" such as Furutech's product if you are inclined. Personally I use an oxide compound which further protects the conductor from oxidation.
