FAQs

What is the length of this audio cable?

This audio cable is 3 meters long.

What type of connectors does this cable have?

The cable has two 3.5mm male connectors (TRS - Tip-Ring-Sleeve), also known as a headphone jack connector.

Is this cable suitable for microphones?

Yes, it can be used with microphones that have a 3.5mm output, provided they are compatible with TRS connectors and deliver an analog signal.

Can this cable be used for charging devices?

No, this is strictly an audio cable and cannot be used for charging devices. It transmits audio signals only.

Why are the connectors gold-plated?

Gold plating provides better conductivity for a cleaner audio signal and protects the connectors from corrosion, ensuring a more durable and reliable connection over time.

What does M/M stand for?

M/M stands for Male-to-Male, indicating that both connectors on the cable are male plugs.

Can I use this cable with a device that has a mono output?

Yes, you can use this stereo cable with a mono output. The signal will be carried, though it may not be optimized for mono sources depending on the device's configuration.

Troubleshooting

No sound or intermittent sound

Ensure the cable is fully plugged into both devices. Check that the audio source is playing and the volume is up on both devices. Try a different 3.5mm cable to rule out a cable fault. Clean the connector tips with a dry cloth.

Audio quality is poor (static, hum, distortion)

Verify the cable is not damaged and connectors are clean. Ensure the cable is not running parallel and too close to power cables. Try connecting to different devices to isolate the issue.

One channel (left or right) is not working

Check the audio settings on your source device to ensure stereo output is selected. Inspect the connectors for any debris or damage. Test with another known-good stereo cable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the 3.5mm audio output port on your source device (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player, laptop).
  2. Identify the 3.5mm audio input port on your destination device (e.g., speakers, stereo system, car stereo).
  3. Connect one end of the Cables Direct 3.5 mm - 3.5 mm M/M 3m audio cable to the output port of your source device.
  4. Connect the other end of the cable to the input port of your destination device.
  5. Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both ports.

Compatibility:

  • Connectors: This cable uses standard 3.5mm TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) male connectors, commonly found on headphones, smartphones, tablets, laptops, portable audio players, and many car stereos and home audio systems.
  • Audio Type: Suitable for stereo analog audio signals.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • Do not bend the cable sharply or coil it too tightly, as this can damage the internal wires.
  • Store the cable in a dry place when not in use.
  • To clean, gently wipe the cable and connectors with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
