Product Information

Full details

This 2-meter black audio cable from Cables Direct is designed for users needing a reliable connection between devices with 3.5mm ports, especially in tight spaces. Its key benefit is the right-angled connectors which reduce stress and potential damage to both the cable and equipment ports. A potential caveat is its specific 2m length, which may not suit all setup requirements.

FAQs

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

'M/M' stands for Male-to-Male, indicating that both connectors on the cable are male 3.5mm plugs, designed to be inserted into corresponding female jacks on devices.

Why choose a right-angled connector?

Right-angled connectors are ideal for situations where space is limited. They allow you to connect devices in tight spots, like behind furniture or in car consoles, without causing the cable to bend sharply, which can damage the cable or the port.

What is the purpose of gold-flashed connectors?

Gold flashing on connectors provides superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. This ensures a cleaner, more reliable signal transmission and extends the life of the connector.

Can this cable be used for data transfer?

No, this cable is specifically designed for analog audio signal transmission only. It cannot be used for transferring data between devices.

Is the 2-meter length suitable for most car stereos?

The 2-meter length is often sufficient for connecting devices to car stereos, especially when the aux port is in the center console or dashboard. However, always measure your specific setup to ensure it meets your needs.

How do I clean the connectors?

Gently wipe the gold-flashed connectors with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive materials, as this could damage the plating or impede conductivity.

What is the difference between this cable and a straight connector cable?

A straight connector cable has plugs that extend directly out from the device. A right-angled connector cable has plugs that turn 90 degrees, making it better suited for installations where space behind the device is minimal or where you want to avoid sharp cable bends.

Troubleshooting

No audio output

Ensure both connectors are fully inserted into the correct ports. Check that the audio source is playing and the volume is turned up. Test the cable with different devices to rule out a faulty connection.

Intermittent audio or static

Check the cable for visible damage or kinks. Ensure the connectors are clean and free of debris. Try wiggling the connectors slightly to see if the issue is with the connection point.

One channel (left or right) not working

This often indicates a problem with the cable's internal wiring or a faulty connector. Test with another known working cable to confirm. If the issue persists with this cable, it may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Right-angled connectors prevent cable strain and damage in tight spaces.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure a reliable and high-quality audio signal.
  • Durable build with strain relief for extended product life.
  • Universal 3.5mm compatibility with many audio devices.

Cons

  • Fixed 2-meter length may be too short for some applications.
  • Primarily suited for audio transmission, not data.
  • Angled connectors might not fit all device port orientations if obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both devices you intend to connect have a standard 3.5mm audio jack.
  2. Plug one male 3.5mm connector into the audio output port of your source device (e.g., smartphone, laptop).
  3. Plug the other male 3.5mm connector into the audio input port of your playback device (e.g., speakers, car stereo).
  4. The right-angled design allows for connection in tight spaces by plugging into ports that are side-facing or angled.

Compatibility:

This cable is compatible with any device featuring a 3.5mm (1/8 inch) stereo audio jack, including but not limited to:

  • Smartphones and Tablets
  • MP3 Players and portable audio devices
  • Laptops and Computers
  • Car stereos with auxiliary input
  • Home stereo systems and amplifiers
  • Portable speakers

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • When disconnecting, gently pull the connector, not the cable itself.
  • Keep connectors clean by occasionally wiping with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids directly on the connectors.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent kinks or damage to the internal wires.
