REL Acoustics Commander .1/LFE Subwoofer Cable - 5.0 Meter - Black

REL Commander .1/LFE Subwoofer Cable

Commander is REL's most accessible .1/LFE subwoofer cable. It connects the subwoofer output of your AV receiver or processor to the .1/LFE input of your subwoofer.

REL built it on lessons learned from its premium Commodore cable. REL describes its sound as very slightly warm and full-bodied, with rich tonality. This listing is the 5.0 meter cable in Black.

Low-Noise Copper Construction

The direct, dedicated ground has two levels of noise attenuation. The conductors are 99.99% pure Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC). REL says the result is a cable that is both quiet and dynamic.

Reverse-Threaded RCA Connectors

REL designed its own RCA connectors for Commander. The outer barrels use left-handed threads, so they tighten when you twist the plug to remove it. Arrows on the connectors show the direction of signal flow.

Black or White Jacket

The soft PVC jacket lies flat, positions easily and wipes clean with a damp cloth. White blends into baseboards and lighter floors. Black disappears against dark hardwoods or carpet.

How Commander Fits Your System

Commander is a single RCA-to-RCA cable for one .1/LFE channel. REL calls it the perfect match for its Serie T/x, HT/1003MKII, HT/1205MKII and Classic 98 subwoofers.

It is not a high-level cable. A REL high-level connection uses a Neutrik Speakon plug wired to your amplifier's speaker terminals, which needs a different cable. Commander also will not fit a balanced XLR LFE input.

Who Is This Subwoofer Cable Best For?

• REL subwoofer owners — REL names Serie T/x, HT/1003MKII, HT/1205MKII and Classic 98 as ideal matches.
• Home theater systems — it carries the .1/LFE channel from your AV receiver or processor.
• Anyone who changes gear often — the reverse-threaded barrels stay tight when you unplug.
• Design-minded rooms — choose a Black or White jacket to suit your floors and trim.
• Not for — high-level Speakon or balanced XLR connections; those need a different cable.

How Does It Connect to Your System?

• Plug one end into the subwoofer (.1/LFE) output of your AV receiver or processor.
• Plug the other end into the .1/LFE input on your subwoofer.
• Use the arrows on the connectors to point the signal from the receiver toward the subwoofer.
• To unplug, twist the connector; the reverse thread keeps the barrel tight.
• Sold in 3, 5, 8 and 12 meter lengths, each in Black or White. This listing is the 5.0 meter cable in Black.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Commander connect to the high-level input on my REL?

No. Commander is an RCA .1/LFE cable. The REL high-level input uses a Neutrik Speakon connector and a separate cable.

Why are the RCA threads reversed?

REL uses left-handed threads on the outer barrels. When you twist the plug to remove it, the barrel tightens instead of coming loose.

Which length should I choose?

Measure the cable path from your receiver's subwoofer output to the sub, following walls and baseboards. Then pick the next length up: 3, 5, 8 or 12 meters.

How is Commander different from Commodore?

Commodore is REL's premium .1/LFE cable. Commander draws on lessons learned from Commodore and is REL's most accessible .1/LFE cable.
