The cables feature a unique design that allows the outer body of the connector to turn and lock down on the port for increased retention. When turned clockwise, an active wedge inside the cable causes the outer ground shield to lock down on the port. This allows for a secure connection on RCA ports of any size with only a quarter turn and the cable is easily removed by turning it counterclockwise.
