Hi guys

Any issue with using the below adapter options to connect two heater strips to one dew controller port.? The MAX combined load for the two strips would not exceed 1.3 AH.
I just want to minimize the amount of cables flopping around.

Yes i run the splitter cable type, my two heaters draw about 1.4A.

Its really the gauge of the wires/conductors inside that will limit the amperage you can pass through. If its too thin, they could heat up and melt.

RCA's isnt really rated for electrical current but the conductors ive seen on most of them should handle at least 5A.

Your correct 1.3A is pretty small in the scheme of things, ill test standard cable from jay car.
