Audio cable DELOCK 85837 — 2 m, 3.5 mm male-to-male, gold-plated contacts, AWG 28, black

DELOCK 85837 is a 2 m stereo audio cable with 3.5 mm male-to-male connectors and gold-plated contacts designed for transmitting stereo audio between portable devices and audio inputs. The cable uses 28 AWG conductors and comes in black with a TPU jacket for increased flexibility and resilience. Included screw-on adapters expand compatibility to 6.35 mm (1/4") female stereo jacks, allowing connection to a broader range of audio equipment while maintaining a stable mechanical fit.

Advantages

The gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance for clearer signal transfer. A coiled cable design reduces storage space and limits tangling while the TPU outer jacket provides flexibility and abrasion resistance during repeated handling. Using 28 AWG conductors ensures adequate signal transmission for typical headphone, speaker and auxiliary connections without unnecessary bulk.

Suitable for

• Connecting smartphones, tablets and laptops to speakers or car aux inputs
• Linking portable audio players to headphones or active speakers
• Connecting audio interfaces or mixers with 6.35 mm inputs using the included adapter
• Temporary studio or rehearsal setups where a compact, storable cable is needed

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m (coiled section for compact storage)
• Connector type: 3.5 mm stereo jack male to 3.5 mm stereo jack male (with screw-on adapters for 6.35 mm)
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Conductor size: 28 AWG
• Outer jacket material: TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane)
• Color: black

How to use

Insert the 3.5 mm male connector into the headphone or aux output of the source device and plug the other 3.5 mm male connector into the input of the receiving device. If the receiving device requires a 6.35 mm connector, screw the included 6.35 mm adapters onto the 3.5 mm male plugs before insertion to achieve a secure fit. Route the coiled portion to reduce slack and avoid sharp bends near the connectors. Ensure connectors are fully seated to minimize noise and verify device volume levels before playback.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid stretching the coiled cable beyond its relaxed length for extended periods and keep the cable away from heat sources or sharp edges. When storing, allow the cable to return to its coiled shape and fasten loosely to prevent kinks. If connecting to professional audio gear, confirm adapter threads are compatible and tightened by hand to ensure a stable mechanical link without over-torquing.
