Product Information

Full details

This 5-meter white stereo audio cable from Cables Direct is designed for connecting audio devices with 3.5mm jacks, featuring one straight and one right-angled male connector. It's ideal for users needing to connect equipment in tight spaces or reduce strain on ports, though the 5m length may be excessive for short-distance needs. Key features include gold-plated connectors for optimal signal transfer, a right-angled connector to prevent cable bending and damage, and integrated strain relief.

FAQs

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

The right-angled connector is designed to make it easier to plug into equipment where space is limited, preventing the cable from bending sharply and potentially causing damage to the cable or the device's port. It can also act as a form of strain relief by itself.

What is the cable length?

This specific model is 5 meters long.

Are the connectors gold-plated?

Yes, the audio cable is assembled with gold-flashed connectors for optimal signal transfer.

Is this cable suitable for digital audio or surround sound?

This is a standard stereo audio cable designed for analog audio signals. It is suitable for stereo applications but not for digital audio formats or multi-channel surround sound that require different types of connections (e.g., optical, HDMI).

Can I use this cable in a car stereo system?

Yes, if your car stereo has a standard 3.5mm auxiliary input jack, this cable can be used to connect a music player or smartphone.

What is the difference between this cable and one with two straight connectors?

The main difference is that this cable has one straight connector and one right-angled connector. This provides more flexibility for connecting in tight spaces compared to a cable with two straight connectors.

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

'M/M' indicates that both connectors on the cable are Male (M) to Male (M), meaning it's designed to connect two devices that have female audio ports.

Troubleshooting

No audio output

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Verify that the audio source is playing and the volume is turned up. Test the cable with different devices or try a different cable to rule out a faulty connection.

Intermittent audio or static/crackling sounds

Check for loose connections. Ensure the gold-plated connectors are clean; gently wipe them with a dry cloth. Try repositioning the right-angled connector if it is under stress. If the issue persists, the cable may be damaged and require replacement.

Right-angled connector does not fit properly

Confirm that the device's 3.5mm port is a standard size. While rare, some very tight-fitting ports or protective cases might interfere with the angled connector. Try connecting the straight end to the device with the tight port if possible, or consider a shorter cable if the 5m length is not strictly necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • The right-angled connector is excellent for tight spaces.
  • Gold-plated connectors enhance audio quality and durability.
  • Integrated strain relief protects the cable and connectors from damage.
  • 5-meter length provides flexibility in device placement.
  • White color option can blend well with certain setups.

Cons

  • 5-meter length can be excessive for short connections, leading to cable clutter.
  • The right-angled connector may not be suitable for all device orientations.
  • Primarily designed for stereo audio, may not be suitable for all specialized audio applications.
  • Only one connector is right-angled, requiring consideration for device port placement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the straight 3.5mm male connector to the audio output port of your source device (e.g., smartphone, laptop, MP3 player).
  2. Connect the right-angled 3.5mm male connector to the audio input port of your destination device (e.g., amplifier, speakers, car stereo).
  3. Ensure both connections are snug and secure.

Compatibility:

This cable is compatible with any device featuring standard 3.5mm (1/8 inch) stereo audio input and output jacks. This includes most smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, MP3 players, portable speakers, car stereos, and home audio systems.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
  • When not in use, coil the cable loosely to prevent kinks and damage to the internal wires. Store it in a dry place.
  • Periodically inspect the connectors and cable for any signs of damage. Clean connectors gently with a dry, soft cloth if they appear dirty.
