Product Features
Technical Overview
This adapter employs a Y-cable configuration that splits a combined 4-pin mini-phone stereo audio signal into separate 3-pin headphone and microphone channels. The male 4-pin connector interfaces with devices featuring combo audio jacks, while the two female 3-pin connectors accept standard headphone and microphone plugs. Nickel plating on all connectors enhances conductivity and durability.
The cable uses 28 AWG wiring within a flexible PVC jacket, balancing signal integrity with physical resilience. With a total length of 7.9 inches (200.66 mm), it provides adequate reach for most desktop configurations while maintaining a compact footprint. The adapter supports standard audio devices including headsets, headphones, microphones, speakers, and notebooks, ensuring broad compatibility across common audio equipment.
