I am looking for any consumer-audio (1/4 or 1/8 inch, mono or stereo) 3-way cable that could be described as a 'T' splitter rather than a 'Y' splitter. The intended use is to be able chain multiple 'T' splitters on top of each other without putting extra physical strain on the cable portion (rather than the metal connector).

I did not find such a cable in my searches and wonder if anyone else has come across one.

  • So you're essentially looking for a Y splitter that has an "extension" channel and a "branch" channel rather than two "branch" channels? At least that's how it makes sense to me.

You might be able to use something these, feedthru RCA adapters with a side connector:

Daisy chain the barrels and add extension cables from the side connectors.

  • Note that these are RCA adapters. You'll need an adapter plug or two to use them with standard 1/4" or 1/8" headphone/speaker jacks.

  • Thanks for the suggestion. This is better than what I found, and not unusable, but also not ideal for my use case, as it is FM-F rather than FM-M and RCA is a bit awkward. If all else fails I guess I will use those adapters and combine them with some other adapters.

  • I have not seen such a thing for mini plug connectors. What is the signal freq. range? Signal level?

  • Line level audio

  • Then I would use individual L/R cabling, if it is not too cumbersome. It really depends on the physical requirements since you are worried about cable strain.
