Klotz KY5-150 is a 1.5-metre Y cable from the MiniLink Pro series, terminated with a 3.5 mm TRS mini jack on the source end and two 6.35 mm TS jack plugs on the output end. Built on PCD202 cable — 4.3 mm diameter, 0.22 mm² conductor cross-section, flexible PVC jacket — it functions as a balanced patch cable that splits a stereo signal from a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or audio interface into two independent mono signals for mixer or amplifier inputs. Every KY5 cable is hand-soldered and passes a 6-stage quality inspection in accordance with ISO 9001:2015.
Balanced stereo-to-dual-mono split — mobile devices into professional inputs
Connecting mobile devices to a professional console or preamp requires splitting the stereo TRS output at 3.5 mm into two separate mono TS signals at 6.35 mm. The KY5-150 handles this as a balanced patch cable, giving it better noise rejection than the unbalanced Y cables typically found in this price bracket. The moulded splice element at the split point provides mechanical reinforcement at the cable's most stress-prone location — the junction that takes the most abuse from repeated connections and coiling over the course of a gig or rehearsal season.
Extended mini jack shaft — full insertion regardless of protective case thickness
Standard 3.5 mm mini jack plugs frequently fail to seat fully in smartphones and tablets enclosed in thick protective cases, requiring the case to be removed before connection. The KY5's extended shaft allows complete insertion into the device socket without removing the case — a practical advantage when working quickly on stage or in a broadcast environment. Gold-plated contacts on both ends minimise contact resistance and resist oxidation through regular daily connections. Colour-coded solid brass shells on the two 6.35 mm plugs — black for left, red for right — eliminate channel swap errors when patching into a console.
