Monoprice Inc. 129516 Monolith 2.5mm to 3.5mm Cable

Monolith 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm Cable

The Monoprice Monolith cable connects devices with a 2.5 mm stereo jack to equipment that uses a 3.5 mm stereo input. It is intended for listeners who own headphones or portable players terminated with the smaller plug and want a direct wired link to standard audio sources.

Capacity and headroom

The cable carries analogue stereo signals between the two connector sizes without active electronics. It handles typical headphone-level voltages and impedances found in consumer audio gear, but it is not designed for line-level interconnects or balanced connections that require additional conductors.

Upgrade path

This cable replaces a missing or damaged 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm adapter or fixed lead, letting you keep using existing headphones with newer sources. The jump is worthwhile when the original cable has failed or when a permanent, strain-relieved connection is preferred over a bulky plug-on adapter.
