Hama 00205117 audio cable 0.5 m 3.5mm Black

The Hama 00205117 0.5m audio cable with 3.5mm male connectors on both ends provides a straightforward wired connection between portable audio players, smartphones, tablets, laptops and speaker systems. The compact 0.5 m length and slim black jacket make it suitable for short runs where a neat, low-profile link is required. Gold-plated contacts are used to improve signal transfer and resist corrosion for reliable repeated use.

Advantages

This audio cable offers simple plug-and-play connectivity with standard 3.5mm jacks, preventing the need for adapters when connecting most headphones, car stereos, portable speakers and line-in ports. The gold-plated contacts enhance conductivity and reduce oxidation, while the short 0.5 m length minimises cable clutter and signal attenuation over small distances. The black finish provides a discreet appearance that integrates easily into home and mobile setups.

How to use

Insert each 3.5mm male connector firmly into the respective headphone or line-in/out jack until fully seated. Ensure devices are set to the correct input or output mode and adjust volume levels before playback to avoid sudden loud sounds. When disconnecting, hold the connector housing rather than pulling the cable to prolong connector and cable lifespan. For installation in vehicles or desktop systems, route the cable away from moving parts and sharp edges.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable length appropriate for the distance between devices—this 0.5 m cable is intended for short connections to reduce excess slack. Avoid tight bends near the connectors and store the cable coiled loosely to maintain flexibility. If using in environments with high interference, position the cable away from power transformers and large power cables to minimise potential noise pickup.
