Product Information

Full details

The Lindy 5m 3.5mm Male to Male Audio Cable (Cromo Line) is designed for users needing a reliable and high-quality audio connection between devices like smartphones, MP3 players, and car stereos or speakers. Its key benefit is the premium construction featuring 24K gold-plated connectors for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, all within an affordable package. A potential caveat is the 5-meter length, which, while versatile, might be excessive for very short-distance needs.

FAQs

What devices can I connect with this cable?

You can connect any device with a 3.5mm audio output (like smartphones, MP3 players, laptops) to any device with a 3.5mm audio input (like car stereos, amplifiers, powered speakers).

Is this cable suitable for high-fidelity audio systems?

Yes, the cable features 24K gold-plated contacts for optimal conductivity, which helps maintain signal integrity for good quality audio reproduction. It's ideal for connecting to hi-fi and audio equipment.

What does 'PVC and Halogen Free' mean for this cable?

It means the cable is constructed using Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) and nylon, avoiding materials like Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and halogens. This is in line with environmental directives aimed at reducing the use of potentially harmful additives found in traditional PVC cables.

How durable is the cable jacket?

The jacket is made from Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE), which provides good flexibility and resistance to abrasion. It's designed for regular use.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

This Lindy audio cable comes with a 10-year warranty.

Can I use this cable for video signals?

No, this cable is specifically designed for analog audio signals only. It cannot transmit video.

What is the wire gauge (AWG) of this cable?

The AWG wire size for this cable is 28.

Troubleshooting

No audio output detected

Ensure both ends of the cable are fully inserted into the correct ports. Verify that the audio source device is playing sound and that the volume is turned up. Check that the destination audio system is set to the correct input source (e.g., AUX).

Audio is distorted or crackling

Check the cable connections for looseness. Inspect the connectors and ports for any debris or damage. Try a different audio source or destination device to isolate the issue. The cable may be damaged; consider replacement.

Audio is too quiet

Ensure the volume is adequately raised on both the source device and the destination audio system. Verify that the cable is fully seated in the ports.

Cable seems too short for the intended use

This cable is 5 meters long. For shorter runs, consider a shorter Lindy audio cable. For longer runs, ensure the signal integrity is maintained or consider wireless audio solutions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a clear and stable audio signal due to gold-plated connectors.
  • Flexible and durable cable construction with TPE jacket.
  • Meets environmental standards with PVC and halogen-free materials.
  • Generous 5-meter length offers flexibility in placement.
  • Affordable premium quality for everyday audio needs.

Cons

  • 5-meter length may be too long for some desktop or very close-proximity setups.
  • While durable, TPE may be more susceptible to damage from sharp objects than heavily shielded cables.
  • Straight connectors may not be ideal for devices that need to lie flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This cable is designed for Plug and Play simplicity. Simply insert one 3.5mm male connector into the audio output port of your source device (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player, laptop) and the other 3.5mm male connector into the audio input port of your destination device (e.g., car stereo, amplifier, speakers).

Compatibility:

The cable is compatible with any device featuring a standard 3.5mm auxiliary audio jack. This includes:

  • Smartphones (iPhone, Android)
  • MP3 Players and Portable Audio Devices
  • Tablets
  • Laptops and Computers
  • Car Stereos with AUX input
  • Amplifiers and AV Receivers
  • Active Speakers and Soundbars

Care:

To ensure longevity and maintain optimal performance:

  • Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use.
  • Keep connectors clean. If necessary, gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Protect the cable from extreme temperatures, moisture, and direct sunlight during prolonged storage.
  • Ensure connectors are fully inserted to maintain a secure connection.
