3.5mm Stereo Aux Cable – 1.2 Metres, Male to Male Shielded Audio Lead
A straight 3.5 mm stereo audio lead with a standard 3-pole TRS plug at each end, in the everyday 1.2 metre length. Long enough to run from a phone in a cupholder to the car’s AUX socket, or from a laptop to a set of desk speakers, without a spare metre of cable pooling in the footwell. If you need to cross a room, we also list a 3 metre version of this same lead.
Check compatibility
It will not fit 6.35 mm (quarter-inch) sockets without a separate adapter.

Please read before buying
This is a passive stereo audio lead, so a few things are worth stating plainly:
- It is not a microphone or headset lead. Headsets that carry a mic use a 4-pole TRRS plug; this is a 3-pole stereo TRS cable and will not pass microphone audio.
- It is not an amplifier – it carries a line or headphone level signal and does not boost it.
Within that, it is simply a long, well-made aux lead that does the job without fuss.
Not sure this is the right lead? This is a plain 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male aux cable at 1.2m — phone or laptop into a car stereo or a powered speaker. If you need more reach, the same lead comes in 3 metres and 10 metres. If one end needs to be a socket rather than a plug, that is the 3.5mm extension lead. To reach RCA inputs on an amplifier instead, use the 3.5mm to 2x RCA cable.

Extending headphones or a lead you already own? Choose our 3 m male-to-female stereo aux extension instead. This is an alternative to replacing the lead; it does not carry a headset microphone.
