I need to connect sound card output to TV input - what I needs is
35mm stereo male to 2 x phono male (RCA).

But I want them to be about twenty feet long. I haven't actually
found any as long as that - but if I do, I bet they will be twenty
five quidish or even more.

I am thinking of using the correct plugs with small tails and then
connect them to twenty feet of twisted pairs or similar - just via
small junction blocks or soldering

I'm not bothered about hi-fi: just basic stereo sound

Any views/suggestions - type of wire? etc.

I recently went through a similar search, in my case to play MP3 and
FLAC audio files from a laptop via an stereo amp (both located in the
shed) into large (DJ size) speakers for music at a garden barbecue
party.

I tried the cheapo cables (you've had an eBay item pointed out) but
found that the voltage drop was significant. In the end I went for one
of these:
http://www.cableuniverse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?
main_page=index&cPath=128_188_190

In my case I bought the 5m 'Premium' job; I see they also do a 10m and
20m version.

Two slighly OT comments:
1. I really must get a Squeezebox
2. I can thoroughly recommend Cable Universe as a supplier of all kinds
of cables (I've bought shed loads of CAT5 Ethernet drop cables from
them) as well as other bits and bobs. Good quality, reasonable prices,
and very fast delivery.

Hope this helps

You want screened cable, not twisted pairs.

There are a variety of lengths here up to 32ft.

I had a similar problem when I needed to link my TV to my amp at
opposite ends of my lounge (a total run of about 40ft), I got some
2-way screened audio cable from Maplin and soldered it to plate
mounted phono sockets.

Maplin do a range of suitable cables from about 80p/metre upwards & if
you don't fancy soldering phono plugs on you can get plugs with a
shield clamp and grub screw for the signal wire.

I wouldn't fancy soldering a 3.5mm stereo jack anymore as my eyes
aren't up to it now so I'd probably solder phono plugs and connect
them to the sound card via a 3.5mm jack to twin female phono adapter

There, that's the DIY bit done, but, as you only want basic stereo
sound, you'll probably find it easier (and cheaper) to order from
somewhere like this

http://www.cabling4less.co.uk/3_5mm_Stereo_Cables.php

3.5mm jack to phono pair (10m) for £5.64 (inc VAT)

Try CPC: http://www.cpc.co.uk

They have a number of them. Something like order code AL349 or PSG00193
- prices range from about £3 to approaching a tenner depending on

Since you have already ordered what seems to be an excellent solution -
there's not a lot to add that will help you directly.

However for future reference, the standard 1 meter 35 mm - RCA adaptor
cable, joined to long standard RCA cable (s) with standard barrel
adaptors, works about as well as anything.

No, forget all that - it was just Plowie *dispensing wisdom* as he likes
to do!

Which, in this case, was a totally pointless 'after the fact' exercise,
IMO - when I responded to the OP it reminded me that I needed to replace
the clumsy thick cable/connector/thin cable cable on my amp/laptop
setup, so I bought this cable at the same time:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWN:IT&ih=004


Paid for at 14:24 yesterday afternoon, it arrived at 07:50 this morning:

http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/Cable.JPG


It is very 'pretty' and is just the right length and 'thickness' for the
job and only cost At £4.19 all in (see pic). Add in the fact that I only
had to walk to the front doormat to get it and it makes any notion of
****ing about sourcing the bits and making one up look just a wee bit
daft, don't it?

(Unless you are going to mention the *satisfaction* of DIY...?? :-)

(a) She might want another one at a later date (although that Ebay
price looked pretty good)


See my other post with all the pix - I haven't tried my cable yet but it
looks the biz for probably less than the cost of the DIY parts! With any
luck, the OP's probably has already got hers as well!


(b) Someone might be reading this at sometime in the future, and find
the information helpful


When a quick eBay grab will still be a better bet - lower 'carbon

Not if you need a custom length, need to control the quality of

installation.

Besides, making your own cables ensures they are exactly the length you

Given the amount of messing about you do with audio gear I'm amazed you've
