Product Information

Full details

The kenable 000800 audio cable is designed for users needing to connect audio devices with 3.5mm jack outputs to inputs, offering a reliable and high-quality audio link. Its primary benefit is the pure, uncompromised sound transmission due to OFC copper and gold-plated connectors, making it ideal for home cinema and hi-fi systems. A minor caveat is its 10m length, which might be excessive for very short connections.

FAQs

What type of audio signal does this cable transmit?

This cable transmits a standard 3.5mm stereo analog audio signal.

Can this cable be used with a microphone input?

While it's a 3.5mm jack, it's designed for stereo audio output/input, not typically for microphone inputs which may have different impedance or mono requirements.

What is OFC copper?

OFC stands for Oxygen Free Copper. It means the copper used in the cable has had most of the oxygen removed, which improves conductivity and reduces signal degradation, leading to better audio quality.

Are the gold-plated connectors durable?

Gold plating offers excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, contributing to a stable connection and good sound quality over time, provided the cable is cared for properly.

What is the benefit of a shielded cable?

Shielding protects the audio signal from external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which can cause humming or buzzing sounds. This results in a cleaner audio signal.

Can I use this cable to connect two pairs of headphones?

No, this cable is designed for connecting one audio source to one audio destination. For splitting an audio signal to two headphones, you would need a dedicated headphone splitter.

What does 'Plug and Play' mean for this cable?

'Plug and Play' means the cable is ready to use immediately upon connecting it. No software installation or configuration is required.

Troubleshooting

No sound or intermittent sound

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports on both devices. Check that the audio source is playing and the volume is turned up on both the source and destination devices. Test the cable with different devices to rule out a faulty port on one of the connected devices.

Audio distortion or crackling

Verify that the gold-plated connectors are clean and free from debris. Ensure the cable is not damaged or severely bent. Try plugging the cable into different ports on the devices, if available, to check for port-specific issues. If the problem persists, the cable itself may be damaged.

One channel (left or right) not working

Confirm that the cable is fully seated in the ports. Try rotating the plug slightly in the port. Test with a different 3.5mm cable to determine if the issue lies with the cable or the audio source/destination device.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality audio transmission with gold-plated connectors.
  • OFC copper cable minimizes signal degradation and interference.
  • Generous 10-meter length offers flexibility in device placement.
  • Robust shielding for clear, crisp sound.
  • Simple plug-and-play operation.

Cons

  • The 10m length may be unnecessary for short-distance connections.
  • Colour might not match all aesthetic preferences.
  • Primarily for stereo audio; not suitable for multi-channel surround sound setups without appropriate adapters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This cable features male 3.5mm connectors on both ends. Simply plug one end into the audio output port (often labeled 'headphone out' or 'line out') of your source device, and the other end into the audio input port (often labeled 'audio in' or 'line in') of your destination device.

Compatibility: The 3.5mm jack is a standard connector found on most portable audio devices (smartphones, MP3 players, CD players), computers (laptops, desktops), and many home audio systems (amplifiers, powered speakers, car stereos). Ensure both devices have a 3.5mm stereo audio port.

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use.
  • Keep connectors clean; wipe with a dry, soft cloth if dusty.
  • Protect connectors from moisture and extreme temperatures.
