3.5 mm charge-sync cable for legacy portables

This USB 2.0 to 3.5 mm cable charges and syncs devices that use a 3.5 mm charging port instead of USB. It suits older MP3 or MP4 players, pocket recorders and similar portables with a TRRS 3.5 mm power connector. The 2.6 ft length connects a device to a PC, power bank or car charger. It is not an audio cable and does not work with mobile phones.

Sustained 480 Mbps sync with gold-plated contacts

The copper conductor and gold-plated plug maintain a steady USB 2.0 data rate up to 480 Mbps during extended transfers. Four tinned-copper cores resist oxidation better than bare copper, so conductivity stays consistent over long sync sessions. The 2.6 ft run keeps voltage drop low while charging and transferring simultaneously.

Replaces lost proprietary 3.5 mm charge cables

Owners of devices that charge only through a 3.5 mm jack can replace a missing or damaged OEM lead with this single cable. The jump is worth it when the original cable is unavailable and the device still relies on a TRRS 3.5 mm port for both power and data. It will not help devices that have moved to USB-C, micro-USB or Lightning connectors.

Questions about this item

Will the USB 2.0 connection stay cool and quiet while charging and syncing all day?

The cable uses a copper conductor and gold-plated plug for stable conductivity, and USB 2.0 limits current to 0.5 A, so it runs cool and silent during extended use.

What must I already own for this cable to charge and sync my device?

You need a USB 2.0 Type-A port — on a PC, power bank, or car charger — and a device with a TRRS 3.5 mm charging port, not a standard headphone jack.

Will this cable work with my older MP3 player that still uses a 3.5 mm charging port?

Yes, it supports MP3 and MP4 players, pocket recorders, and Bluetooth headphones that have a TRRS 3.5 mm charging port, syncing data at up to 480 Mbps.
