With the increase for the need to work from home, team meetings and video conferencing, Canford introduce a range of prewired Y cables, ready for use. Wired for laptop input with a 3.5mm 4-pole moulded jack to combinations of connector sockets for microphone, headphone or headset connection.
Each individual cable is described in detail by the use of an abbreviated sequence in the form:
Canford Cable - 1st connector - 2nd connector - cable length - cable colour.
