What it is

A replacement and upgrade cable for in-ear monitors (IEMs), braided from eight individually insulated strands. The braid spreads the conductors across left, right and return paths and gives the cable the soft, round look buyers expect from an upgrade cable. The earphone end comes with MMCX or 0.78 mm 2-Pin connectors and pre-formed ear hooks; the player end comes with a 3.5 mm single-ended plug, a 4.4 mm balanced plug or a 2.5 mm balanced plug.

Aluminum-alloy plug housings, a matching Y-splitter and a chin slider complete the cable. It is about 1.2 m long, measured from the plug to the earphone connectors.

Who it's for

  • Earphone and audio accessory brands that want a private-label upgrade cable to sell with their IEMs.
  • Hi-Fi e-commerce stores building their own cable line.
  • Cable shops that prefer finished cables for their entry and mid-range products.

FAQ

Which connector do I need, MMCX or 0.78 mm 2-Pin?

It depends on the in-ear monitor. MMCX is a round snap-on connector that can rotate; 0.78 mm 2-Pin uses two pins in a small socket. This cable uses flush 2-Pin plugs with left and right marking. Recessed and extended-housing 2-Pin versions are made to order.

What is the difference between the 3.5 mm, 4.4 mm and 2.5 mm plugs?

The 3.5 mm TRS plug is single-ended and fits most players and phones with a headphone jack. The 4.4 mm 5-pole and 2.5 mm 4-pole plugs are balanced: left and right each have their own return wire, and they need a player with a matching balanced output.

Can you offer silver-plated or OCC conductors?

The standard build uses oxygen-free copper (OFC). Silver-plated copper (SPC), OCC and other special conductors are available on request, with the conductor material confirmed in writing at order.

How long is the cable, and can the length be changed?

The standard length is 1.2 m (3.9 ft) ±2 cm, measured from the source plug tip to the earphone connectors. Lengths from 0.8 m to 3 m are available as a customization, along with an L-shaped source plug.

How is the 4.4 mm balanced plug wired?

The 4.4 mm plug is wired Tip L+, Ring 1 L−, Ring 2 R+, and Ring 3 R−. The sleeve (ground) is not connected, because the cable has no separate ground wire; its eight strands carry two each for L+, L−, R+, and R−.
