Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Beware of mechanical joints.

There are some RCA connectors that allow you to solder to a ground lug, but then make the connection to the shell (outer electrode) through a mechanical crimp. Look carefully at the connectors you are using to be sure they do not have this design. An additional solder joint between the lug and shell electrode is required, but difficult to make.

Plugging the male connector into a dummy female connector helps for sinking heat when soldering to the male connector center pin. This helps to avoid melting the insulation.
