Jack Cables

A jack cable is a common audio cable, a combination of a plug (Jack) and a cable (Cable) for audio, video or data connection. Its official name is TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) plug or TS (Tip-Sleeve) plug.

Common types of Jack Cable:

1.3.5mm Jack (common in headphones)

  • Also called "mini jack"
  • Applications: mobile phones, computer headphones, audio AUX input
  • Types: TRS (stereo), TS (mono), TRRS (with microphone, such as mobile phone headphones)

 

2.6.35mm Jack (also called 1/4 inch plug):

  • Common in: electric guitars, electric pianos, professional headphones, mixers
  • Type: TS plug: mono, unbalanced (for guitars, etc.), TRS plug: stereo, or used as a balanced signal connection (for headphones or audio equipment)

  • Suitable for recording studios or professional audio equipment
  • The structure is similar to XLR, but the plug is different
  • Can be used to transmit balanced audio signals and reduce interference

 

What are the different technical requirements for customizing jack cables in different fields:

 

1. Consumer audio equipment (headphones, mobile phones, computers, etc.)

  • Signal lossless transmission, plug-in durability
  • The size is mostly 3.5mm TRS or TRRS Plug
  • Requires the wire to be light, flexible, and not easy to tangle
  • EMI shielding ability to avoid electromagnetic interference, especially when close to mobile phones and other devices without generating noise

2. Professional audio & stage equipment

  • 6.35mm TRS plug
  • Anti-interference, low capacitance, stage-level durability
  • Excellent shielding effect, more than three layers of shielding design to avoid radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
  • Pass AES48-2005 standard
  • It is recommended to use customized parts from brands such as Neutrik and Amphenol to ensure stable contact

3. Special wire for electroacoustic instruments

  • 6.35mm TS plug
  • The wire must be sturdy and durable to withstand stage use and repeated trampling
  • High-frequency fidelity, anti-stage interference

4. Industrial automation/medical equipment

  • Non-standard TRS/TS connector customization, low noise, high fidelity
  • Strong anti-interference and insulation, plugs and wires are resistant to alcohol/disinfectants, adapt to frequent bending but not entangled
