Product Information

Full details

The Cables Direct 3.5mm Audio Cable is designed for audiophiles and everyday users who need a reliable, space-saving connection for their sound equipment. Featuring gold-flashed connectors and a dual right-angle design, it provides superior signal integrity and protects the cable from unnecessary bending. A primary caveat to consider is that the right-angle connectors may not fit into deeply recessed ports on some protective smartphone cases.

FAQs

Can I use this for a microphone connection?

This is a standard stereo audio cable; it is intended for output (audio transmission to speakers/headphones) and may not support microphone input depending on your device's pin configuration.

Does this cable support inline remote controls on headphones?

This cable is designed for standard audio transmission and likely will not pass through inline volume or track control signals.

What does 'gold-flashed' mean?

Gold-flashed connectors feature a thin layer of gold plating, which offers better electrical conductivity and resistance to oxidation compared to standard nickel connectors.

Is the cable shielded against interference?

The cable construction is designed for reliable performance; however, keeping it away from large power cables will always help reduce potential electromagnetic interference.

Are both ends of the cable right-angled?

Yes, this specific model features right-angled connectors on both ends of the cable.

Troubleshooting

Audio is only playing through one speaker or channel

Ensure the cable is pushed firmly into both ports until it clicks or sits flush.

Static or crackling sounds during playback

Check that the connectors are free of debris or dust and ensure the cable is not bent at a sharp, unnatural angle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents cable damage with right-angle architecture
  • Gold-flashed contact points improve longevity
  • Compact design is perfect for confined spaces
  • Reliable strain relief extends cable life

Cons

  • Right-angle plugs may be blocked by some bulky phone cases
  • Length is fixed at 1 meter, limiting long-distance reach

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this cable, simply insert either 3.5mm male end into your audio source (such as a laptop, phone, or MP3 player) and the other end into your output device (such as headphones, speakers, or an auxiliary car input).

Compatibility: This is a standard TRS/stereo cable compatible with all devices featuring a 3.5mm audio jack. Note that while the angled connector is space-saving, it may require the removal of thick, protective cases that do not provide enough clearance around the port.

Care: Keep the cable away from sharp objects to prevent insulation cuts. When disconnecting, always pull from the connector housing rather than the wire itself to maintain the integrity of the strain relief.
