  1. 3.5mm Plastic Stereo Plug - DIY Project to Repair Your Audio Cable

    Do you have a DIY project or repair that you need to make? Our 3.5mm stereo connector will provide an inexpensive solution for creating a dual channel audio cable. A stereo connector can be identified by the two black plastic bands near the tip of the cable. 3.5mm refers to the diameter of the plug. It is the most common size plug for small electronic devices such as headphones. This connector contains an all metal plug and soldering points. The plastic shell and strain relief protect the solder points on the connector. To install the connector, you will need: A soldering iron, solder, a wire stripper and cable. Since this is a stereo connector, our cable will need two center conductors and a shield. Unscrew the strain relief and slide it onto the audio cable. Using a cable stripper, strip back the cable jacket. Twist the shield together. Strip the jacket around the center conductor. Tin the center conductor and shield by adding solder to the ends of each wire. Tinning helps makes a more lasting and professional bond. Take the connector and with a vice or helping hands, tin the solder points on the connector. The sleeve is the longest piece of metal, coming out of the back of the connector. If you are unsure of which solder point corresponds to the tip or sleeve, you can use a multimeter to check continuity. Solder the tinned shield to the sleeve and the center conductor to the tip. Using pliers, pinch the strain relief onto the outside jacket. Slide up the strain relief and tighten onto the connector. Congratulations, you have successfully soldered the 3.5mm connector. And if you need a 3.5mm to 1/4 adapter check out what we have to offer. For all of your cable and connector needs, choose Show Me Cables.

  10. An Overview of Handset Cords - What You Need To Know

    Welcome to Show Me Cables. Today we’ll be taking a look at handset cords. Handset cords are not quite as popular or available now that everyone has a cell phone. And finding them in stores can be difficult, if not impossible. That’s where show me cables comes in. We offer handset cords in lengths of 6 FT, 12 FT, 25 FT and 50 FT. What can be confusing about of handset cords is that the lengths are given based on the total length of cord used, which is not the same as the coiled length. The 6 FT cord measures 1 FT coiled. This length is quite short and should only be used when needing a very short distance between your equipment. The 12 FT cord measures 2 FT coiled. This is the most standard for desk use and reaches comfortable from a table or desk. The 25 FT cord measures 4 FT coiled. This is helpful when needing a little extra room to move around while on the phone. And the 50 FT cord measures 8 FT coiled. This cord is quite long and should only be used when needing a lot of distance between equipment. We also offer handset cords in a variety of colors: Flat Black, Gloss Black, Dark Gray, Cisco Gray, Gray, Light Gray, White, Cherry Red, Brown, IT Ash, NT Ash, Off White and Beige. Our handset cords come in either a 1.5 or 4 inch flat leader. The leader is the small uncoiled piece at the end of the cord for plugging into your phone. 1.5 inch is the most common and can be used easily with most standard telephones. The 4 inch is used for phones that have a recessed phone jack or more hard to reach places. Hopefully this has cleared up any confusion you may have had on handset cords. If you’re still having trouble or just have any questions not covered here, feel free to call our customer service department at 888-519-9505. For all of your cable and connector needs, choose Show Me Cables.
