Question How do I extend the Orange, Green, Black audio cables ?

[yaggaz]

These below are 3.5mm analog right? Friend connects a soundblaster AE7 to his 5.1 surround system using these. Looking for 20ft without signal loss, if possible. Can get away with 15ft. He needs to move his sound system across the room (long story)

Can anybody recommend 20ft, preferably, but can get away with 15ft versions of these? Price doesn't matter. Thanks.

shouldn´t be a problem, any extension should do

Yep, any 3.5mm stereo extension should work. Buy something a little nicer/better shielded if you're worried about interference, but as long as this isn't going past a bunch of electrically noisy stuff you shouldn't have an issue.

(Notice all the "shoulds" - lots of that in audio lol)

Okay so the last time I bought what I thought were the right ones, they didnt plug into his system, they kind of just hung loosely and didnt go in. Are these the exact replacement? Can I get three of these?

Try plugging both ends of the existing cables in to a standard headphone jack. If they fit, then yes, those cables should work.

If they don't, or if only one end does, we have to figure something else out. Probably just extensions instead of replacements.

the link doesn´t show an extension cord

didn´t the previous ones you´ve bought plug into the 5.1 sound card or the loudspeaker or both?

which 5.1 loudspeaker sound system is it?

Those are male/male cables.
You need an extension cable - male/female.

Audio extension cable 3.5mm 15ft

BTW - does your surround system have optical in ?
Then I'd use optical cable instead. Soundblaster AE7 has optical out,

Toslink cable 15ft
