This ALLTEQ jack cable functions as a headset splitter, dividing a combined 3.5 mm 4-pole jack connection into separate audio and microphone connections. This allows a headset or standalone microphone to be connected to devices with a combined headset port. The cable features one 3.5 mm jack male connector (4-pole) and two 3.5 mm jack female connectors (3-pole). One connection is used for the audio signal and the other for the microphone connection. The splitter supports stereo audio and operates according to the CTIA headset standard. This makes the cable suitable for devices such as Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, Lenovo laptops, Sony PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch with a combined headset port. Specifications Brand: ALLTEQ Cable type: jack splitter cable Audio type: analog audio connection Connector 1: 3.5 mm jack male (4-pole) Connector 2: 3.5 mm jack female (audio) Connector 3: 3.5 mm jack female (microphone) Connector type: TRRS to 2 × TRS Standard: CTIA headset standard Mono / stereo: stereo with microphone Length: 0.3 meters Warranty: 5 years Certifications: CE, RoHS, REACH, WEEE Explanation 3.5 mm jack: a commonly used audio connector for headphones, AUX connections, and portable audio equipment. This connection is used on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and various audio devices. TRRS connector: a jack connector with four contacts (Tip, Ring, Ring, and Sleeve). This allows stereo audio and a microphone signal to be transmitted via a single connection. TRS connector: a jack connector with three contacts (Tip, Ring, and Sleeve) used for stereo audio or for separate audio and microphone connections. CTIA standard: a headset standard for 4-pole jack connections where the pin assignment consists of left audio, right audio, ground, and microphone. This standard is used by many modern smartphones, tablets, laptops, and game controllers. Cable jacket: the flexible outer jacket protects the internal conductors from wear and mechanical stress during use. Applications • Splitting a combined headset connection into audio and microphone • Connecting a standalone microphone and headphones to a device with a headset port • Use with smartphones, tablets, and laptops with CTIA headset connections • Use with game controllers and consoles such as PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch Types of jack connectors 6.3 mm jack: a larger jack connector primarily used with professional audio equipment, musical instruments, and studio installations. 3.5 mm jack: a smaller jack connector widely used in consumer electronics such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and portable audio devices. 2.5 mm jack: a compact jack connector used in headsets, walkie-talkies, and specialized audio equipment. Explanation of jack configurations TS (Tip-Sleeve): a jack configuration with two contacts. The tip carries the audio signal, and the sleeve acts as ground. TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve): a jack configuration with three contacts. This allows two audio signals to be transmitted, for example, a left and right channel for stereo audio. TRRS (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve): a jack configuration with four contacts. This type of connection allows a microphone signal to be transmitted via the same connector in addition to stereo audio. Explanation of audio signals Balanced audio: an audio transmission method using two signal wires and a ground. Unbalanced audio: a form of audio transmission using one signal wire and one ground wire. Stereo audio: an audio system using two separate channels: a left and a right channel. Mono audio: an audio system using only one audio channel.
