Product Information

Full details

The Kenable 5m 4-pole TRRS extension cable is designed for AV enthusiasts and professionals who need to extend audio and video signals from devices like Android boxes, cameras, and specialized multimedia hardware. Its primary benefit is the ability to carry stereo audio alongside a secondary signal—such as microphone input or video—over a significant distance without signal degradation. However, users should note that because it uses a 4-pole configuration, it is not compatible with standard 3-pole stereo headphones that lack microphone or video channel wiring.

FAQs

Can I use this for standard stereo headphones?

While it may carry audio, it is designed for 4-pole devices. Using it with a 3-pole headphone might result in audio issues or the microphone channel being shorted.

Is this cable shielded?

Yes, it utilizes a single coax design which provides the necessary shielding for reliable signal transmission.

Can I daisy chain two of these together?

You can, but it is generally recommended to avoid long daisy-chained runs as they can lead to increased signal interference or voltage drop.

What is the primary use of the 4th pole?

The 4th pole is typically reserved for video signal (composite) or a microphone input, depending on the device.

Does this cable support balanced audio?

No, this is an unbalanced cable designed for standard consumer AV hardware.

Troubleshooting

Audio is heard but video is missing

Verify that your device output settings are configured for AV out rather than audio-only, and ensure the plug is pushed firmly into the jack.

Microphone signal is noisy or cutting out

Check that the connection is fully seated and there is no debris in the female port of the extension cable.

Sound only comes from one side

This often indicates the cable is not pushed in all the way; disconnect and re-insert the plug to ensure a full connection across all four poles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile 4-pole design handles audio and video simultaneously
  • Sturdy construction with built-in strain relief
  • Generous 5-meter reach for home entertainment setups
  • High-quality pure copper conductors minimize signal loss

Cons

  • Not intended for standard 3-pole stereo headphones
  • May require adapters depending on specific device pinouts
  • Long cable run may be susceptible to heavy pulling if not managed correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, simply insert the male jack into your source device output and connect your peripheral (such as a headset or AV interface) into the female socket. Compatibility is limited to 4-pole TRRS devices; ensure your hardware pinout matches the standard configuration (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve). To maintain the cable, avoid bending the cord at sharp angles near the moulded plugs, as this can fatigue the internal copper conductors over time. Store the cable in a cool, dry place and coil it loosely when not in use to maintain the integrity of the internal shielding.
