Connects legacy iPods to TV or stereo

This two-pack of retractable cables links the headphone port or dock line-out of first- and second-generation iPods to RCA inputs on a television or home audio system. The 3.5 mm plug carries both audio and composite video signals. Later iPod models and iPhones are not supported. Each cable extends to 3.94 ft and retracts for tidy storage.

Passive analogue connection runs cool and silent

No active electronics are present, so the cables draw no power and generate no heat or noise during playback. Signal quality depends on the source device and the length of the extended run. Retraction mechanism operates mechanically without motors or external supply.

White male-to-male RCA leads with four connectors

Each cable terminates in a 3.5 mm stereo plug at one end and three colour-coded RCA plugs at the other, giving four connectors per cable. The white PVC jacket is flexible and the retractable reel keeps excess length coiled. Male-to-male gender means direct connection to female ports on docks, TVs or receivers without adapters.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 3.5mm plug to my first-generation iPod without bending the retractable housing?

Insert the 3.5mm end straight into the headphone port until it clicks, then pull the RCA ends gently to extend the 3.94 ft cable; forcing the reel sideways strains the internal spring.

What part of this cable wears out first with repeated extending and retracting?

The retractable reel spring and the 3.5mm plug contacts degrade before the RCA plugs; store the cable fully retracted to reduce spring fatigue.

Why does the video signal stop working after a few minutes on my second-generation iPod?

The cable carries composite video only from the headphone port of first- and second-generation iPods; later models disable TV-out on that port, so no image appears.
