Description
The Citronic S6J-EXT600 is a shielded audio lead with a 6.3mm stereo TRS jack plug on one end and a 6.3mm stereo TRS jack socket on the other, so it works well as an extension for headphones, instruments or balanced signal runs. At 6 metres long, it gives you room to move without needing to reposition your gear. The die-cast connectors are built to a professional standard and hold up to repeated plugging and unplugging.
Inside the cable you'll find pure copper conductors, two runs of 20-strand 0.1mm wire, with cotton reinforcement for added strength. The 6mm diameter jacket is a soft-grip, rubberised material that resists tangling and stays flexible in use. Connections are machine-soldered, which keeps them consistent and reliable across the length of the lead. The shielding helps keep interference out of your signal, so what goes in is what comes out.
A 6.3mm jack is often called a quarter-inch jack, and you may see it written both ways depending on where the gear comes from. TRS stands for tip-ring-sleeve, which carries a stereo or balanced signal rather than a single mono channel. This lead suits studio, stage and home setups where you need to extend an existing cable run while keeping the sound clean. It's a straightforward, well-made lead that does its job without fuss.

Frequently Asked
What does TRS mean on this lead?
TRS stands for tip-ring-sleeve. It carries a stereo signal or a balanced mono signal, using three contact points on the 6.3mm jack rather than the two you'd find on a TS mono connector.
Is this a mono or stereo lead?
It's a stereo TRS lead. Both the plug and socket are wired as tip-ring-sleeve, so it can carry stereo audio or a balanced mono signal.
Can I use this to extend headphones?
Yes. With a 6.3mm plug at one end and a 6.3mm socket at the other, it works as a 6-metre extension for headphones or other gear that uses a quarter-inch stereo jack.
Is 6.3mm the same as a quarter-inch jack?
Yes. 6.3mm and quarter-inch refer to the same connector size. You may see either term used depending on the manufacturer.
What are the conductors made from?
The lead uses pure copper conductors, with two runs of 20-strand 0.1mm wire and cotton reinforcement for added strength.
How long is the cable?
The lead is 6 metres long, giving you plenty of reach to extend an existing signal run.
