⚠️ Things to Watch Out For
🧬 Not for TRRS/mic signals — won’t pass mic or control data
📏 Stiffness — thicker cable may resist tight bends
🔊 Overkill for short runs — best suited for longer or shielded paths
🎛️ Connector clearance — molded ends may be bulky
⚡ Weight strain — avoid dangling from lightweight ports
 
🛠️ Quick Tips for Beginners
🔍 Count the black bands: 2 = TRS (stereo), 3 = TRRS (mic/control)
🧠 Use for stereo playback, not mic input
🧰 Ideal for high-fidelity or interference-prone setups
🎛️ Secure cable to avoid port stress
🧪 Great for embedded builds needing robust shielding
