HOCO AUX cable 3.5 mm to Lightning UPA22 1 m black

HOCO AUX cable 3.5 mm to Lightning UPA22 1 m black is a compact audio adapter cable that converts a standard 3.5 mm jack to an Apple Lightning connector. The 1 m length provides a balanced reach for in-car setups, home audio systems and portable use. The cable supports audio playback from devices with a 3.5 mm output to Lightning-equipped phones and tablets, and allows microphone pass-through where the connected devices and apps support it.

Advantages

The cable combines a slim Lightning plug with a 3.5 mm jack connector in a lightweight, flexible lead that is easy to route and store. Its 1 m length offers a compromise between mobility and tidy cable management. The design is compatible with common car stereos, speakers and headphones that use a 3.5 mm output, enabling direct wired audio connection without Bluetooth pairing. The cable’s connectors are shaped for a secure fit and stable signal transfer.

Suitable for

• Connecting portable audio players or laptops with a 3.5 mm output to Lightning-only phones or tablets
• Using in a vehicle to play music through the car stereo via the auxiliary input
• Connecting to home speakers or portable speaker systems with a 3.5 mm input
• Situations where a wired connection is preferred for lower latency or stable audio playback

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 metre
• Connector A: 3.5 mm male audio jack
• Connector B: Lightning male connector
• Functionality: audio playback and microphone pass-through where supported by devices and apps
• Colour: black

How to use

Insert the 3.5 mm plug into the audio output of the source device (for example, a portable player, laptop or speaker output). Connect the Lightning plug to the Lightning port of the phone or tablet. Select the appropriate audio source on the receiving device or car stereo if required. When microphone pass-through is supported, the inline microphone of the source device or headset will be available to calls and compatible apps through the connected devices.

Usage recommendations

Use gentle, straight insertion and removal to avoid stressing the connectors. Keep the cable away from excessive heat, moisture and sharp bends. For best results, ensure connected devices support analog-to-digital passthrough via Lightning; some Lightning-only devices or apps may require software support to accept audio input from external analog sources.
