3.5mm 3-contact audio cable, 0.5 m, black

3.5mm 3-contact audio cable, 0.5 m, black is a compact audio lead designed to transmit stereo signals and microphone audio between devices with 3.5mm TRS or TRRS connectors. At half a meter length it is intended for short, tidy connections where a long cable would be unnecessary, such as between a headset and a desktop computer, a portable audio player and small speakers, or a mobile device and an accessory. The cable features a flexible outer jacket and standard-sized 3.5mm plugs to ensure consistent insertion and basic mechanical protection during everyday use.

Advantages

The cable provides straightforward, low-complexity audio routing for stereo left/right channels and an additional contact for microphone or common ground depending on connector wiring. Its short 0.5 m length reduces signal attenuation and clutter on a desk or in a bag. The flexible jacket improves handling and helps prevent kinks, while the standard 3.5mm plugs maintain compatibility with a wide range of consumer audio equipment. The black finish offers a neutral appearance that integrates with most devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting headsets with 3.5mm plugs to computers, laptops or consoles
• Linking portable audio players, smartphones or tablets to small speakers or amplifiers
• Extending or replacing a short audio lead in compact setups (desktop, car dash, travel)
• Connecting microphones or inline remote modules that use a 3.5mm TRRS/ TRS interface

Key specifications

• Connector type: 3.5mm 3-contact (TRS/TRRS compatible)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Color: black
• Outer jacket: flexible insulating material for handling and light protection
• Intended signals: stereo audio plus microphone or common contact depending on wiring

How to use

Insert one 3.5mm plug into the audio output or headset jack of the source device and plug the other end into the input jack of the receiving device. Confirm connector orientation and, if applicable, whether the device expects TRS (stereo) or TRRS (stereo + mic/remote) wiring to ensure proper microphone and remote control function. Keep the cable routed without sharp bends and avoid placing heavy objects on it to maintain the integrity of the jacket and contacts.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use this 0.5 m cable where short runs are sufficient and where minimal cable slack is preferred. Check device manuals for pinout compatibility when using headsets with microphone or in-line remotes to avoid mismatched wiring. Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent permanent bends and disconnect by gripping the connector rather than pulling the cable.
