4 Pole, 3.5mm leads - where from?

[Edzup Ezzer]

I'm trying to find, with very little success, a 4 pole 3.5mm x 600mm lead to connect my iPhone to my Autocom set-up. I can find longer and shorter 4 pole 3.5mm leads, but none around 600mm long. (Normal 3.5mm leads are usually of the 3 pole variety - ie stereo leads) A search of Blatchat produced nothing.

 

Does anyone know of a source of such a lead, or someone with the wherewithal and means to make such a lead up for me? (The longer ones are way too long leading to a very untidy/messy installation) Google searches etc have not been very fruitful, save for a 90 deg connector on ebay which requires soldering skills way beyond my ken.

Is 1m "way too long"? here.

 

If it is, you could probably cut it and join it, but the wires will be tiny so it'll be a bit fiddly.

Be carefull with the ones on eBay, I wanted a 4way plug and a bit of lead to connect a hands free kit to a phone so thought a 4-way to 4-way 3.5mm jack would be just the ticket but found that only three of the connections were made

 

I ended up using a 4-way 3.5 to USB so I knew all 4 wires would be there and then hacked off the USB bit!

770mm here.

Roger, thanks for your input. I've ordered one at 770mm. I mean, what is c6" between friends?! Whatever, it's got to be better than the alternative I was looking at i.e. a cut and shut job with one of those 90deg elbow connectors off ebay.

 

Eccles, I've noted your advice re number of connections.

 

Cheers
