3.5mm Analog Mini-Jack Cables

There are two types of jack cables: mono cables and stereo cables. Mono cables have a plug with two contact points (known as TS for Tip-Sleeve) and transmit a signal on a single channel. Stereo cables have a plug with three contact points (known as TRS for Tip-Ring-Sleeve) and can either transmit a stereo signal on two channels or a balanced mono signal that reduces interference.

For quality audio transmission, it is important to choose a cable with high-performance conductive materials like OFC (oxygen-free copper), which minimizes signal loss. The cable shielding, whether braided or aluminum foil, protects against electromagnetic interference.

The length of the cable is also important. The longer the cable, the more the signal can degrade. Therefore, it is preferable to opt for the length that is just necessary. The diameter of the cable affects its ability to carry the signal without loss. A thicker cable is generally of better quality.

Finally, comfort criteria such as the flexibility and robustness of the cable should be considered depending on the intended use. A flexible cable will be more pleasant for a portable headset. A reinforced cable will be more suitable for frequent instrument connections.
