Product Information

Full details

This 1-foot StarTech.com audio cable is for users needing to connect portable audio devices like MP3 players, smartphones, or tablets to car stereos or other audio systems with a 3.5mm input. Its key benefit is the slim, right-angle connectors that fit into tight spaces and allow connection even with protective cases. A potential caveat is its short 1-foot length, which may limit reach in some setups. It features two 3.5mm male connectors, gold-plated contacts, and a durable PVC jacket.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the 'Slim' connector design?

The slim connector molding is designed to fit into the 3.5mm headphone jack of devices even when they are protected by a case, which can often prevent standard connectors from fully inserting.

Why are the connectors 'Right Angle'?

The right-angle (90-degree) connectors are designed for use in tight spaces. They allow the cable to be plugged in flush against the device or surface, reducing clutter and preventing accidental disconnection or strain in areas with limited room.

What is the total length of this cable?

The cable length is 1 foot, which is approximately 0.3 meters.

Can this cable be used for video signals?

No, this cable is specifically designed for stereo audio transmission only. It is not suitable for video signals.

What devices is this cable compatible with?

It is compatible with any device that has a standard 3.5mm stereo audio jack, such as smartphones, MP3 players, tablets, laptops, car stereos with aux input, and portable speakers.

Are the connectors gold-plated?

Yes, the connectors are gold-plated to ensure a reliable and high-quality audio connection.

What is the wire gauge (AWG) of this cable?

The AWG wire size is 30.

Troubleshooting

No audio output

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Check that the source device is playing audio and the destination device is set to the correct input source. Try testing the cable with different devices.

Audio is intermittent or crackling

Verify that the cable connectors are clean and free of debris. Ensure the cable is not damaged (kinked or frayed). The gold-plated connectors and strain relief are designed for reliability, but physical damage can occur.

Only one channel (left or right) is working

This indicates a faulty cable or a problem with the audio output of the source device. Test the cable with another known-working pair of headphones or speakers to isolate the issue. If the problem persists with other devices, the cable may need replacement.

Cable doesn't fit into the audio jack due to a case

The 'Slim' design is intended to accommodate most cases. However, if a case has a very recessed or unusually shaped audio port opening, the right-angle connector might still present fitting issues. Ensure the case's port opening is compatible with a 3.5mm plug.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Slim connectors fit easily into protected device ports.
  • Right-angle design is excellent for cramped spaces.
  • Durable construction with strain relief for longevity.
  • Gold-plated contacts ensure a clean audio signal.
  • Compact length minimizes clutter for short runs.

Cons

  • The 1-foot length may be too short for some applications.
  • Right-angle connectors can sometimes obstruct adjacent ports.
  • > Info needed: Specific impedance or shielding details for advanced users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both devices have a standard 3.5mm (1/8 inch) stereo audio jack.
  2. Plug the male 3.5mm connector of the cable into the audio output port of your source device (e.g., MP3 player, smartphone).
  3. Plug the other male 3.5mm connector into the audio input port of your destination device (e.g., car stereo, amplifier, speaker).
  4. Configure your destination device to use the auxiliary input source.

Compatibility:

This cable is compatible with any audio device featuring a standard 3.5mm stereo headphone or audio output/input jack. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Smartphones (iPhone, Android devices)
  • Tablets (iPad, Android tablets)
  • MP3 Players
  • Laptops and Computers
  • Car Stereos with auxiliary input
  • Portable Speakers
  • Home Stereo Systems

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • Do not bend the cable sharply, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal wire damage.
  • To clean the connectors, gently wipe them with a dry, lint-free cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it is thoroughly dried afterward.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use.
