UGREEN 10736 3 m 3.5 mm Stereo AUX Cable

Overview

When the speakers or car stereo sit further away than a short lead allows, a 3 m AUX cable gives the reach. The UGREEN 10736 is a 3.5 mm male-to-male stereo cable with the same three-pole (TRS) plug at both ends, carrying left and right analogue audio between a phone, computer or music player and an AUX or line input. It has no electronics, so there is nothing to pair, power or install.

Is it right for you?

• Suits phones and tablets with a 3.5 mm headphone output, laptops, desktops, media players and CD players, feeding a car, powered speaker, receiver or sound system with a 3.5 mm AUX or line input.
• 3 m suits a bedside, desk or living room run where the player and the speakers are apart.
• A jack-less phone can use a separate USB-C or Lightning audio dongle, as long as the dongle outputs analogue stereo through 3.5 mm.
• Not for optical S/PDIF, HDMI ARC or eARC, USB audio, Bluetooth, RCA-only ports or a headset that needs a microphone line.

Key features

• 3.5 mm TRS stereo plug at each end, reversible: no preferred source or destination end.
• Oxygen-free copper conductor for the analogue signal.
• Gold-plated plug surfaces and aluminium connector shells.
• Flexible black jacket, 3 m long.
• Passive: no driver, battery, pairing or app.

What else you need

A source with a 3.5 mm analogue output and equipment with a labelled 3.5 mm AUX or line input. Nothing else is needed.

Before you buy

• It does not carry a microphone channel or remote-control commands from a four-pole (TRRS) headset, and it is not a headphone splitter for two listeners.
• It does not amplify, add bass, remove ground-loop hum or repair a noisy source. If hum changes when the car charger is connected, disconnect the charger to diagnose: the cable does not isolate a ground loop.
• Keep the volume low while connecting. A headphone output can be louder than a line input expects, so raise the level gradually.
• A phone case can stop the plug going fully in. Never force it; remove or change the case if its opening is too narrow.
• Do not connect it to mains electricity, a passive speaker output or any high-power terminal. Stop using it if the jacket is cut, a shell is loose or the audio changes when the strain relief moves.
