Slim Specifications

Secure 3-Metre Reach for Flexible Setups

The 3-metre length provides practical distance between audio source and output. This helps when devices are fixed or spaced apart in a room. For example, you can connect a PC to speakers without moving furniture. Also, the cable remains manageable for desktop or car use. However, check your layout to avoid excess slack if space is tight.

Nickel-Plated Connectors for Reliable Contact

Nickel plating on the connector contacts offers consistent electrical connection. This is suitable for general audio tasks in home or vehicle environments. In practice, it supports standard analogue signals without active electronics. Because it is an economy product, it targets low-cost audio needs. Verify the 3.5mm ports match your devices before use.

Universal 3.5mm Male-to-Male Compatibility

Both ends feature 3.5mm male connectors for broad device compatibility. This works with many UK audio inputs and outputs that use this standard. For example, connect a phone to a speaker or a laptop to a hi-fi. Also, confirm your device supports analogue audio over 3.5mm. However, digital-only ports will not work without a suitable adapter.

Black Jacket for Discreet Routing

The black cable jacket helps the lead blend into most setups. This is useful for tidy installations where visible cables matter. Because the colour is neutral, it suits home, office, and car use. Also, the 3m length supports floor or desk routing. However, always secure loose cables to prevent trip hazards.
