3.5mm Stereo Aux Cable – 5 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 a full 5 metre length. This is the one for reaching across a room rather than topping up a phone: a PC or TV at one end of the lounge to a hi-fi at the other, a ceiling projector down to a soundbar, or an indoor source out to speakers in a garage, shed or patio. Shorter 1.2 m and 3 m versions of this same lead are also listed.
Check compatibility
It will not fit 6.35 mm (quarter-inch) sockets without a separate adapter.

About this item
What you can use it for
- Car audio – phone, tablet or MP3 player into the car’s AUX input
- Powered speakers, an amplifier or a hi-fi – from a headphone or line-out socket
- TV, projector or a games console into a soundbar or stereo system
- Desktop and laptop audio – sound card out to monitors or a mixer
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 you need this much cable? This is the long run — 5 metres, 3.5mm male to male, for wall-to-wall or room-to-room. Most desk and car jobs are done by the 1.2m or the 3m. If you already have a lead and only need to add reach, the 5m male-to-female extension plugs onto the end of it instead of replacing it.
Check these alternatives
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.
