jubjub75 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Help! I am looking for a short (less than a foot; six inches would be perfect) audio cable with male 3.5mm stereo connections on both ends. If the connections were the right angle variety, it would be even better. I checked the places I normally look (monoprice.com and partsexpress.com), but neither has anything close. Any ideas?

GreenMonkey Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021802&p_id=644&style=&seq=1&format=1#largeimage ? A bit long, though. I might have a cable like this in my pile of cables. I seem to remember having a very short stereo dubbing type cable. If I get a chance I'll look for you.

jubjub75 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 That's the cable I need, by I need one WAY shorter. I'm hooking my iPod up in my car using a Belking Auto Adapter, which charges and has a line-level out (you must supply the cable). Here's a link: http://amazon.com/o/ASIN/B000CS8R46/ref=s9_asin_image_1-hf_favarpcbss_2238_p/103-3820903-3099824?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=088S6YX8HYV54C6WK0P6&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=279667201&pf_rd_i=507846 The audio cable plugs into the base of the Belkin that then plugs into the DC outlet. The Aux In and DC outlet on my car are right next to each other. I am currently using a 6' cable (very similar to what you showed), but I have an extra 5 1/2' of cable sitting on my dash, which keeps getting in the way and/or falling all over the place. A 6" cable would greatly reduce the clutter and right angle connectors would be the icing on the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 These are the most overpriced cables right now for the reason you want to use them, but you can find them at virtually any entertainment store in the iPod accessories section.

Orpheus Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 http://www.cablestogo.com has a 1.5 foot cable, shortest I've seen but the price kinda sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubjub75 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Has anyone ever made their own cable? I was looking at these: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=092-332 And thought about getting two with some cable and making it myself. It would be nice, as I could get the correct length. What I don't know is how the cable attaches to the connectors...anyone else know? I did find a 1 foot cable at partsexpress.com for a good price, but that's still longer than ideal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubjub75 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I ended up getting this one: http://www.thecablepro.com/cableDetail.php?cID=94&cgID=1 They should wear a mask for charging that much, but it'll make for a much better looking solution...

Orpheus Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Well, you bought a Cardas Audio cable. No surprises there on the price. This after all a comnpany that sell wood blocks to raise your speaker cable off the floor so as to avoid interference along with other gimmicky audio accessories.

jubjub75 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Crap! Do I need to call them to add a wood block to my order? To quote Homer Simpson: "And in case you couldn't tell, I was being sarcastic." Thanks for pointing that out, though; I was not familiar with Cardas before this. And thanks for the input/ideas from everyone! Sometimes finding these little things is more difficult than anything else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
