Key Features
- Futaba Connector Compatibility — This extension wire is specifically engineered with genuine Futaba connectors, ensuring perfect compatibility with Futaba receiver ports and servo connectors on a huge range of RC vehicles popular in the UK market, from small 1/10 scale electric buggies to larger RC trucks and crawlers.
- 15cm Length — At precisely 150mm long, this extension cable offers the ideal balance between flexibility and practicality; long enough to route cables neatly around your chassis and battery box, yet short enough that you don't end up with excessive slack inside your RC model.
- 22AWG Wire Gauge — The 22AWG specification provides excellent current handling capacity suitable for servo and receiver applications, delivering reliable signal transmission and power distribution without voltage drop or signal degradation during critical moments of your RC adventure.
- Twisted Wire Construction — The twisted pair design of this extension wire actively reduces electromagnetic interference and minimises noise on signal lines, which is crucial for maintaining precise servo response and receiver reliability, especially important when running multiple servos in complex RC setups.
- Y Configuration — The Y-shaped connector layout allows this extension wire to split and connect to multiple servos or receiver channels, making it invaluable for expanding your connectivity options without cluttering your RC model's interior with multiple separate cables.
- Professional Grade Quality — Manufactured by Etronix to exacting standards, this component represents the kind of quality you'd expect from a dedicated RC spares manufacturer who understands the demands of the hobby and the importance of reliable connections.
Technical Performance
The Etronix 15cm 22AWG Futaba Twisted Y Extension Wire demonstrates professional-grade engineering throughout its construction. The 22AWG wire gauge has been selected to provide optimal current carrying capacity for servo and receiver applications whilst maintaining flexibility for routing through the tight confines of modern RC vehicle chassis designs. The twisted pair construction actively works to suppress electromagnetic interference that can degrade signal quality, particularly important in environments with multiple electronic components operating simultaneously—such as brushless motor systems, electronic speed controllers, and multiple servo motors all functioning together in a single RC model. The genuine Futaba connectors ensure perfect mechanical fit and reliable electrical contact, eliminating the compatibility issues and poor connections that can result from lower-quality third-party connectors. This level of attention to detail in materials, construction, and connector quality reflects Etronix's reputation as a specialist manufacturer of RC replacement parts and spares. The Y configuration provides practical versatility, allowing single extension connections to be split to multiple servo or receiver channels, reducing the number of individual cable runs required and simplifying internal routing within your RC chassis. Whether you're building a competition-grade RC car, maintaining an existing fleet of electric or nitro-powered vehicles, or simply ensuring you have quality spares on hand, this extension wire represents the kind of component that serious RC enthusiasts keep in their workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Etronix 15cm 22AWG Futaba Twisted Y Extension Wire compatible with all RC vehicles? — This extension wire is specifically designed for Futaba connectors, making it compatible with any RC vehicle that uses Futaba-standard receiver ports and servo connectors. This includes many popular RC cars, trucks, crawlers, and other RC models. However, if your vehicle uses JR, JST, or other connector types, you would need the appropriate variant for your specific setup.
- What does the Y configuration mean? — The Y configuration means this extension wire features one connector on the input side that splits into two connectors on the output side, allowing you to extend and connect to multiple servos or receiver channels from a single extension cable, reducing cable clutter inside your RC model.
- Why is twisted wire construction important? — Twisted wire construction helps reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk between signal lines, ensuring that servo commands from your receiver are transmitted cleanly and reliably to your servo motors, which is especially important in RC setups with multiple servos operating simultaneously.
- What is the advantage of 22AWG wire gauge? — The 22AWG specification provides an excellent balance between current carrying capacity and flexibility; it's thick enough to handle servo power requirements without voltage drop, yet thin enough to route easily through the tight spaces inside modern RC vehicle chassis without excessive stiffness.
- Can I use this extension wire with brushless RC motors? — This extension wire is designed for servo and receiver connections rather than high-current motor power applications, making it ideal for connecting servos and receivers in brushless RC setups but not suitable as a main power lead for brushless ESCs or motors.
- How does this compare to other extension wires? — Etronix extension wires are manufactured to professional standards using genuine Futaba connectors and quality twisted pair construction, distinguishing them from cheaper alternatives that may use lower-grade connectors or untwisted wiring which can result in signal noise and reliability issues.
