Product Information
Full details
This Cables Direct 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable is designed for users needing to connect audio devices with standard 3.5mm TRS ports. Its key benefit is providing a high-quality, stable audio connection thanks to gold-plated connectors. A potential limitation is its short 0.2m length, which may not be suitable for all setups. This cable features gold connectors for superior signal integrity and anti-corrosion properties, a white jacket for visibility or specific aesthetic needs, and male connectors on both ends for a direct link between compatible audio equipment.

FAQs
What type of connector does this cable use?
This cable uses two 3.5mm Male TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) connectors. These are commonly referred to as headphone jacks or aux connectors.
What does 'M/M' mean in the product name?
'M/M' stands for Male to Male, indicating that both connectors on the cable are male plugs.
What is the benefit of gold-plated connectors?
Gold plating offers superior conductivity for a cleaner audio signal and provides excellent resistance to corrosion, ensuring a more reliable connection over time.
Can this cable be used for microphone input?
While it uses a 3.5mm TRS connector, this cable is designed for stereo audio output/input. For microphone use, a different type of cable with the appropriate connector (e.g., TS or TRRS) and impedance might be required.
Is the 0.2m length sufficient for all applications?
The 0.2m length is ideal for very short, direct connections. If your devices are placed further apart, you will need a longer cable, such as the Cables Direct 3.5mm to 3.5mm M/M 3m or 5m options.
How should I clean the connectors?
Gently wipe the gold-plated connectors with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials, as this could damage the plating or the connector itself.
Can I use this cable with my iPhone or Android phone?
Yes, provided your phone has a 3.5mm audio output jack. Many newer smartphones do not have this jack and require an adapter.
Troubleshooting
No audio or intermittent audio.
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Try a different audio source or output device to isolate the issue. Check that the cable is not damaged. Clean the gold connectors gently with a dry cloth.
Audio is distorted or has static.
Verify that the cable is fully inserted into the ports. If distortion persists, the cable may be damaged or the connectors may need cleaning. Ensure the volume levels on both devices are set appropriately.
Cable feels loose in the port.
This may indicate wear on the device's port or the cable's connector. Ensure you are using the correct 3.5mm jack. For a temporary fix, try gently wiggling the connector to establish a better connection, but consider replacing the cable if the issue is consistent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

Care Instructions
