Sourcing USB-C to 3.5 mm mini jack cable 1.5 m — model 73501303, black

The Sourcing USB-C to 3.5 mm mini jack cable (1.5 m, black) provides a direct wired audio connection between devices with a USB-C port and analog audio equipment with a 3.5 mm input. Designed for simple plug-and-play use, this cable allows smartphones, tablets and laptops without a dedicated headphone jack to connect to headphones, portable speakers or car stereos using a standard analog mini jack. The 1.5-metre length offers flexibility for everyday listening and in-car use while maintaining a compact and portable form.

Advantages

This USB-C to 3.5 mm cable offers a straightforward, wired audio path that does not require pairing or battery power. The single-cable design reduces latency compared with wireless alternatives and ensures consistent audio output for calls, music and media playback. Its black finish is discreet and suitable for most setups, and the 1.5 m length balances reach and portability for desk, pocket and vehicle use.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB-C smartphones or tablets to wired headphones or earphones with a 3.5 mm plug
• Linking laptops with USB-C ports to external speakers or car audio systems that accept a 3.5 mm input
• Using a wired connection for audio playback and hands-free calls where a headphone jack is absent

When it may not be suitable

This cable provides an analog connection and requires the host device to support audio output over its USB-C port. It will not add digital audio processing, volume control, or microphone support beyond what the connected devices provide. Devices that lack USB-C audio output or require proprietary digital-to-analog adapters may be incompatible.

Key specifications

• Connector A: USB Type-C (male)
• Connector B: 3.5 mm mini jack (male)
• Length: 1.5 metres
• Color: Black
• Function: Wired analog audio transmission

How to use

Insert the USB-C connector into the audio-capable USB-C port of your smartphone, tablet or laptop. Plug the 3.5 mm mini jack into headphones, earphones, speakers or an auxiliary input in a vehicle. Most devices will detect the wired connection automatically and route audio output through the cable. Adjust playback volume and call settings on the connected device or on-line controls of your headphones if available.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that your device supports audio output over USB-C (some devices use USB-C for data only)
• Confirm whether you need microphone support or in-line controls; this cable provides a basic audio path and may not support remote mic functions
• Ensure a 3.5 mm analog input is available on the target headphones, speakers or car stereo

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, connect the cable firmly at both ends and avoid sharp bends near the connectors. If audio does not play immediately, check device settings for external audio output and restart the device if necessary. Use the cable for media playback and hands-free calls where a stable wired connection is preferred.
