Product Information

Full details

This 3-meter white stereo audio cable from Cables Direct is designed for users connecting audio equipment, particularly in tight spaces. Its key benefit is the right-angled connector, which reduces strain and potential damage to both the cable and the port. A potential caveat is that while the right-angle offers strain relief, its physical form might not suit all connection layouts.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the right-angled connector?

The right-angled connector is designed to fit more easily into ports located in tight spaces, such as behind furniture or in car dashboards. It also helps to reduce strain on the port and the cable by directing the bend away from the connection point.

Is this cable suitable for connecting headphones?

This cable is designed for connecting audio sources to audio output devices (like speakers or stereos). While it has a 3.5mm connector, it's typically used for transmitting audio signals between devices, not for plugging directly into standard headphones which may have different impedance or connector requirements.

What does 'M/M' stand for in the product name?

'M/M' stands for Male-to-Male, indicating that both ends of the cable have male 3.5mm connectors.

Can this cable be used for stereo or surround sound?

This is a stereo audio cable, meaning it transmits two channels of audio (left and right). It is not designed for multi-channel surround sound systems that require different types of connections or more cables.

What is the length of this audio cable?

The cable is 3 meters (approximately 9.8 feet) in length.

Does the gold plating affect sound quality?

Gold plating on connectors helps prevent corrosion and ensures a reliable, clean electrical connection, which can contribute to maintaining optimal audio signal integrity. The primary benefit is durability and consistent performance over time.

Are there other color or length options available?

Cables Direct offers this type of audio cable in various lengths and colors, including black. Please refer to the product listings for specific available variants.

Troubleshooting

No audio or intermittent audio

Ensure both 3.5mm connectors are fully inserted into the ports. Check that the audio source and destination are set to the correct input/output and volume levels. Test with another cable or device to rule out a faulty connection or device.

Audio sounds distorted or has static

Inspect the connectors for debris or damage. Gently clean the connectors with a dry cloth. Ensure the cable is not bịsuyệt or significantly bent, which could compromise internal wiring.

Right-angled connector does not fit properly

Verify that the device's audio port is compatible with a right-angled connector and that there are no obstructions. The angle is designed for specific port placements; try a straight cable if space or orientation is an issue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • The right-angled connector is ideal for use behind furniture or in tight AV cabinets.
  • Gold-plated connectors promote a secure and high-quality audio signal.
  • Built-in strain relief enhances cable durability.
  • A practical 3-meter length suits many common audio setups.
  • White color offers an alternative to standard black cables.

Cons

  • The right-angled connector may not be suitable for all device orientations.
  • Limited to stereo audio transmission (not suitable for surround sound setups requiring multiple channels).
  • Only one connector is right-angled, limiting flexibility if both ends need angled connections.
  • Specific to 3.5mm connections, not compatible with other audio formats like RCA or XLR.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Simply plug the straight 3.5mm male connector into the audio source's output port (e.g., headphone jack on a phone, laptop, or MP3 player) and the right-angled 3.5mm male connector into the audio destination's input port (e.g., auxiliary input on a speaker, amplifier, or car stereo). Ensure both connectors are fully inserted into their respective ports.

Compatibility:

This cable is compatible with any device featuring a standard 3.5mm stereo audio jack. This includes most smartphones, tablets, laptops, MP3 players, portable speakers, car stereos with auxiliary inputs, and home audio systems. It is designed for stereo (two-channel) audio transmission.

Care:

To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  • Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use.
  • Keep connectors clean; gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth if dusty.
  • Do not expose the cable to extreme temperatures, moisture, or harsh chemicals.
