About Y-Splitters, Sliders & Hardware

Y-splitters and chin sliders finish a headphone or IEM cable: the splitter is where the cable divides into left and right legs, and the slider sits above it so the wearer can adjust the fit. They are also one of the most visible parts of a custom cable, which makes them a good place for a brand mark. The stock set pairs a matching splitter and slider in aluminum alloy or copper, with a silver, black, or gold finish, packed in polybags as single sets or 10-packs.

The standard set has a 4.5 mm main bore and 3.2 mm branch bores for 8-strand braids; a small-bore set (3.0 mm main, 2.5 mm branches) suits 4-strand braids. You can specify other bores and finishes, add a laser-engraved logo, and have packs labeled with your part number and barcode. Samples are available before you order; MOQ is low.
