FAQs

What is the purpose of the gold plating on the connectors?

The gold plating helps provide a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection, ensuring high-quality audio transmission.

What is OFC cable?

OFC stands for Oxygen-Free Copper, which is used in the cable to improve audio signal transmission and reduce signal loss.

Can I use this cable with a microphone?

Yes, it is compatible with devices that use a 3.5mm jack for audio input or output, including microphones.

Is the cable durable?

The cable is designed for general use, featuring robust connectors, but avoid excessive bending or pulling to maximize its lifespan.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable is 1 meter long.

Does this cable support plug and play?

Yes, the cable is plug-and-play, meaning it requires no additional setup or drivers.

What colors are available?

This cable is available in blue.

Can I use this cable for extending a longer cable?

This cable is designed for a single extension and is not recommended for daisy-chaining multiple extension cables as it may affect audio quality.

Troubleshooting

No sound or distorted audio

Ensure both connectors are securely plugged in. Check the audio source volume and settings. Try a different audio device to rule out compatibility issues.

Sound cuts out intermittently

Check the cable for any bends or damage. Try wiggling the connectors to see if the issue resolves, which might indicate a loose connection.

One channel of audio is missing

Make sure the audio source is outputting in stereo. Try the cable with another audio device or headphones to isolate the issue to the cable or the original device.
