UGREEN 3.5mm to 2 RCA male braided cable (6.6 ft)
A well built, low cost 3.5mm to RCA cable for any source that still has a headphone jack.
The short version
- Anyone connecting a phone, laptop or tablet to a stereo receiver, amplifier or powered speakers with RCA inputs
- Setups that need about 2 m of reach between the source and the stereo
- Buyers who want a braided cable rather than a thin rubber one
- Your device has no 3.5mm jack and you do not want a second adapter
- Your setup needs a longer run than about 2 m
- You need a cable with RCA female ends to extend existing RCA leads
What owners like
- Clean sound for an inexpensive analog cable
- Solid construction that holds up to regular use
- Works with a wide range of source devices and stereo gear
Common complaints
- Useless on phones without a headphone jack unless an adapter is added
- Bulky phone cases can still block the 3.5mm plug
- Hum from a grounding problem elsewhere in the system will not go away by changing the cable

What it does
A 6.6 foot braided cable with a 3.5mm stereo plug on one end and red and white RCA plugs on the other, for sending audio from a phone, laptop or tablet to a speaker, amplifier or receiver.
- Turns one 3.5mm stereo output into separate left and right RCA plugs
- Braided jacket and metal plug housings for daily plugging and unplugging
- Slim 3.5mm plug meant to reach the jack without removing a phone case
- Works with phones, tablets, laptops and MP3 players that have a headphone jack
- Plugs into amplifiers, receivers, powered speakers and other gear with RCA inputs
- No drivers or setup needed
A simple, low cost way to connect a device with a headphone jack to a stereo, powered speakers or a receiver with RCA inputs. Editorial coverage rates its sound and build well for the money. It only helps if the source has a real 3.5mm analog jack, so most newer phones need a separate USB-C or Lightning adapter, and no cable will cure ground hum caused by the rest of the setup.

Questions
Which RCA plug is left and which is right?
White carries the left channel and red carries the right channel.
Will this cable work with an iPhone or a USB-C phone?
Only with an adapter. The cable needs a real 3.5mm analog jack, so phones without one need a Lightning or USB-C to 3.5mm adapter first.
Does a 3.5mm to RCA cable fix humming or buzzing?
Usually not. Shielding helps when the cable runs near power supplies, but hum caused by a grounding problem in the system needs to be fixed at the source.
Does it need drivers or power?
No. It is a plain analog cable with no software or power needed.
