Product purpose and audience

This retractable 3.5 mm to RCA cable bundle contains five units, each extending to 3.94 ft. It connects the headphone port of a first or second generation iPod, or the line-out port on an iPod Universal Dock, to a television or home stereo for video and audio playback. The cables are not compatible with later iPod models or iPhones.

Sustained use behaviour

The retractable design keeps the cable tidy during repeated connection and disconnection cycles, reducing tangling when the iPod is docked and undocked frequently. Each unit uses a male-to-male configuration with four connectors to carry composite video and stereo audio signals. No active electronics are present, so performance remains consistent for the length of the cable.

Build and connectivity

White moulded housings protect the 3.5 mm plug and the three RCA plugs on each cable. The retractable mechanism allows the cord to be stored compactly when not in use, which is convenient for portable setups. The fixed 3.94 ft extension limits the distance between the source device and the display or amplifier.
