Results of 1979 - 1982 spectroscopic observations of RX Cas are presented. It is shown that the absorption A2 - A5 spectrum primary component is a spectrum of an extended accretion disk, while the secondary component has a K0(II-III) spectrum. The radial velocity curves derived from the lines of primary and secondary components are symmetrical with γ = -25 km/s and semi-amplitudes K1 = 14 km/s and K2 = 87 km/s. The masses of the components are estimated to be M1 = 3.00 M_sun; and M2 = 0.48 M_sun;. From the mass ratio q = M2/M1 = 0.16 it is evident that RX Cas is near the final stage of the case B of mass exchange.
