Audio cable CORDIAL EY 5 VPP — 5 m, 6.35 mm (male) to 2 × 6.35 mm (male), AWG 26, Black

The CORDIAL EY 5 VPP is a 5 m Y-adapter audio cable that splits a single 6.35 mm stereo plug into two 6.35 mm mono plugs. Built with AWG 26 conductors and a black PVC jacket, it is intended for dividing stereo signals into two separate mono channels and for connecting instruments, mixers or amplifiers in live and studio setups.

Advantages

The molded bend protection at the connector ensures improved durability and higher mating cycles. A conductor cross-section of 0.14 mm² combined with spiral shielding reduces susceptibility to external interference. Single-strand wire construction and a flexible PVC jacket provide good flexibility while maintaining mechanical robustness.

Suitable for

• Splitting a stereo output into two mono inputs
• Patching instruments (guitars, keyboards) to mixers or amplifiers
• Connecting mono inputs in live sound and studio environments

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for line-level audio splitting and is not intended for use as a balanced microphone cable or for long-distance transmission where professional low-noise, balanced cabling is required. It also does not provide additional electronics such as passive summing or active signal conversion.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector configuration: 1 × 6.35 mm stereo male to 2 × 6.35 mm mono male
• Conductor size: approximately 0.14 mm² (AWG 26)
• Construction: single-strand conductors (18 × 0.10 mm) with spiral shielding
• Jacket material: flexible PVC
• Colour: black

How to use

Insert the single 6.35 mm stereo plug into the stereo output of your source device and connect the two 6.35 mm mono plugs to the target mono inputs. Ensure connectors are fully seated to avoid intermittent contact. Use the cable for splitting line-level stereo signals into two mono channels; avoid using it for balanced microphone lines or where active conversion is required.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your devices require unbalanced line-level splitting rather than balanced connections.
• Check that 5 m length is appropriate for your setup to avoid excess cable run or signal loss concerns.
• Verify connector types (6.35 mm / 1/4") match your source and destination equipment.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, route the cable away from power cables and strong electromagnetic sources. When connecting to sensitive equipment, test levels gradually to prevent clipping or unwanted noise.
