Product Information

Full details

This 1.5m black 3.5mm stereo audio cable from Cables Direct is designed for users needing reliable audio connections in tight spaces or where cable strain is a concern. Its primary benefit is the right-angled connectors, which reduce stress on the ports and the cable itself, preventing damage and extending its lifespan. A potential caveat is that the angled design might not be suitable for all device placements.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the right-angled connectors?

The right-angled connectors are designed to reduce strain on the cable and the device's audio port, especially in tight spaces. They allow the cable to lie flatter against the device, preventing accidental bending and potential damage.

Is this cable suitable for mono or stereo audio?

This is a stereo audio cable (TRS - Tip, Ring, Sleeve), designed to transmit both left and right audio channels for stereo sound.

What does 'M/M' mean for this cable?

'M/M' stands for Male-to-Male, indicating that both ends of the cable have male 3.5mm connectors designed to plug into corresponding female jacks.

How durable are the gold-plated connectors?

Gold plating offers excellent conductivity for a clear audio signal and provides superior resistance to corrosion and tarnishing compared to other metals, contributing to long-term reliability.

Can I use this cable for video signals?

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

What is the warranty period for this audio cable?

Please refer to the retailer's or Cables Direct's official warranty information for specific details on the warranty period and coverage.

Will this cable work with my iPhone or Android phone?

If your phone has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, this cable will work. Note that newer smartphones may not have a 3.5mm jack and would require an adapter.

Can I get this cable in a different color or length?

Cables Direct offers this type of right-angled audio cable in various lengths and also in white. Please check other product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

No sound or intermittent sound

Ensure both connectors are fully inserted into their respective jacks. Check that the audio source is playing and the playback device is set to the correct input. Try cleaning the connectors with a dry cloth. Test with another known working cable.

Sound only in one ear (mono instead of stereo)

Verify that the cable is a stereo (TRS) cable and not a mono (TS) cable. Ensure the audio source is outputting stereo sound. Check the device's audio settings for mono output options.

Cable feels loose in the jack

The 3.5mm jack on the device might be worn or damaged. Try gently wiggling the connector to find a stable position. If the issue persists across multiple devices, the cable connector may be faulty.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Right-angled connectors are space-saving and reduce strain.
  • Gold-plated connectors offer superior conductivity and durability.
  • Built-in strain relief enhances cable longevity.
  • 1.5m length is practical for many common audio setups.
  • Black color offers a discreet and professional appearance.

Cons

  • Right-angled connectors may not fit all device orientations.
  • Not suitable for situations requiring extreme flexibility at the connector.
  • 1.5m length might be too short for some longer-distance connections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your audio source device (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player, laptop) has a 3.5mm audio output jack.
  2. Ensure your playback device (e.g., speaker, car stereo, amplifier, headphones) has a 3.5mm audio input jack.
  3. Connect one right-angled 3.5mm male connector to the audio source.
  4. Connect the other right-angled 3.5mm male connector to the playback device.
  5. Turn on both devices and select the appropriate input source on the playback device.

Compatibility:

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

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • When disconnecting, gently pull the connector, not the cable itself.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent kinks or damage to the internal wiring.
  • Clean connectors periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth if they appear dusty or dirty to ensure optimal conductivity.
