FAQs

What is the main advantage of the gold-plated connectors?

The 24K gold-plated connectors offer superior conductivity for optimal audio signal transfer and are resistant to tarnishing and corrosion, ensuring a more reliable and clear connection over time.

Can I use this cable with my smartphone that has a case on it?

Yes, the cable features an ultra-slim connector design specifically intended to accommodate recessed audio ports, even when a protective case is attached to your mobile device.

Is this cable suitable for professional audio recording?

While offering good quality for consumer use, the specifications are geared towards general audio extension. For professional recording, dedicated professional-grade cables with specific shielding and conductor types are typically recommended. > Info needed: Specific shielding details and conductor type to fully assess professional suitability.

What does 'PVC and halogen-free' mean for this cable?

It means the cable is constructed without Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and other halogens. This aligns with EU directives aimed at reducing the use of these materials and their associated toxic additives, making the cable more environmentally friendly.

How long is the warranty for this cable?

This Lindy cable comes with a 10-year warranty.

What is the cable diameter?

The cable has a diameter of 3 mm.

Can I use this cable to connect headphones to my computer?

Yes, if your computer has a 3.5mm audio output jack and your headphones have a standard 3.5mm input, this cable can be used to extend that connection. The angled connector might be useful depending on your computer's port placement.

Troubleshooting

No sound or intermittent audio

Ensure the 3.5mm connectors are fully inserted into both the source and output devices. Check that the correct audio input is selected on your playback device. Try connecting the cable to different devices to rule out a faulty port or device.

Static or crackling sound

Clean the gold-plated connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth. Ensure the cable is not damaged and that there are no kinks or cuts in the TPE jacket. Try a different audio source or output device to isolate the issue.

Cable does not fit due to device case

While designed for slim fit, very bulky or unusually shaped cases may still present a challenge. Ensure the 3.5mm port on your device is accessible and not obstructed by the case's design. The angled connector may offer a solution in some tight spaces.

Audio only in one earbud/speaker (mono instead of stereo)

Verify that the audio source is outputting a stereo signal. Ensure the cable is fully plugged in, as a partial connection can sometimes result in mono sound. Test with a different known stereo cable to confirm the issue is not with the source device or playback system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This cable is designed for Plug and Play operation. Simply connect the 3.5mm male (angled) connector to your audio source device (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player) and the 3.5mm male (straight) connector to your audio output device (e.g., amplifier, speakers, car auxiliary input). Ensure a secure connection at both ends.

  • The slim connector design allows for use with most devices, even when a protective case is attached.

Care Instructions:

  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent damage.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, which can damage the internal wiring.
  • Clean the connectors periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth to maintain optimal conductivity. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive pulling or stress during use.
  • The cable is rated for operating temperatures between -20°C and 80°C.
