Awei adapter CL-121: Lightning to 3.5mm jack + Lightning, USB-A connection, black

The Awei adapter CL-121 converts a single Lightning output into a 3.5 mm headphone jack while preserving a secondary Lightning port for charging or audio passthrough. Designed for devices with Lightning connectors, this compact black adapter enables simultaneous use of wired headphones and a Lightning power or accessory connection via a USB-A compatible interface. The adapter is suitable for listening, charging, and connecting Lightning accessories where a 3.5 mm analogue output is required.

Advantages

This adapter provides dual functionality by combining a 3.5 mm analogue audio output with a pass-through Lightning port, allowing users to listen to wired headphones while charging or using a Lightning accessory. Its compact and lightweight design makes it convenient for travel and daily use. The connection is compatible with standard Lightning devices and can be used with USB-A interfaces via a compatible cable or adapter. The black finish offers a neutral, unobtrusive appearance that integrates easily with most devices and accessories.

Suitable for

• Listening to wired headphones on devices with a Lightning connector while charging
• Using Lightning accessories (power bank, Lightning cable) while playing audio through a 3.5 mm headset
• Situations where an analogue 3.5 mm output is required but the device lacks a dedicated headphone jack

How to use

Connect the adapter's Lightning plug to the Lightning port on your device. Insert your wired 3.5 mm headphones into the adapter's headphone jack. If you need to charge the device or connect a Lightning accessory at the same time, connect a Lightning cable to the adapter's secondary Lightning port and to a USB-A power source or accessory using a compatible cable or interface. Confirm audio playback and charging status on the host device; some devices may require unlocking or confirmation to enable audio passthrough.

Usage recommendations

Use certified Lightning cables and reputable USB-A power sources to ensure stable charging and reliable audio performance. Avoid excessive bending near the adapter connection point and disconnect by holding the adapter housing rather than pulling the cable directly. Check device settings and software compatibility if audio or charging passthrough does not work as expected.
