UGREEN AV118 40672 3.5 mm Audio Extension Cable 0.5 m, Male to Female, Braided

Overview

When a wired headset or AUX lead stops a little short of the phone, laptop or car socket, a short extension solves it without a bulky cable. The UGREEN AV118 (40672) is a 0.5 m four-pole (TRRS) 3.5 mm extension with a male plug at one end and a female socket at the other. Because it is four-pole, it carries the headset microphone as well as stereo sound.

Is it right for you?

• Suits adding half a metre to a headset, headphones or AUX lead on a phone, laptop or car stereo.
• Suits a headset with a single 3.5 mm plug and a device with a combined headset socket. It does not merge separate headphone and microphone sockets into one.
• It cannot add microphone support to a three-pole (TRS) source or headset.
• For a longer reach, choose a longer extension rather than chaining several together.

Key features

• 3.5 mm TRRS male plug to 3.5 mm TRRS female socket, 0.5 m long.
• Carries stereo audio and the microphone signal when the headset and device use a compatible four-pole wiring standard.
• Gold-plated contacts for a consistent connection, with copper conductors for the analogue signal.
• Braided nylon jacket and threaded metal connector housings for everyday durability.
• Plug and play with no software or external power.

What else you need

A device with a 3.5 mm socket and a headset, headphones or AUX lead with a 3.5 mm plug. Nothing else is needed.

Before you buy

• CTIA and OMTP wiring differences and device-specific inline controls can stop some microphone or button functions even when audio plays normally.
• This is an analogue extension, not a USB-C, Lightning, Bluetooth or digital audio adapter.
