3.5 jack recommended for sonos 5

What brand of 3.5 jack recommended for sonos 5

I put one of my cables in and it sticks out,  I don’t want to force it in any further

Would you recommend these.

I search this topic but no answer to what is recommended or does the sight have any cables.

I tried the bottom cable pretty generic only that much goes in the jack
no difference between the two cables except the bottom one are male on both ends

The Play:5 and the Five use an industry standard connector. Any 3.5 mm stereo plug should fit.

    It would be hard to find a more standard plug than a 3.5mm plug.

    A picture of your cable “not fitting” would help.

      I too would have thought any 3.5mm TRS adapter would fit - they’re pretty much standard.. but perhaps see this link about TRRS adapters:

        This is the adapter from my Sonos Five and it goes in to the hilt (about 12/13mm). See attached.

        It ‘clicks’ into place when pushed in…

        Hope that assists.👍

          Is it there now? You may need to refresh the page. It’s alongside a tape measure.

            Occasionally, I must push uncomfortably hard in order to fully seat a 3.5mm plug. If the plug is the standard length shown above, don’t be afraid to fully seat the plug.

            On occasion I have seen a few modular power supplies that seem to be using a 3.5mm plug, but is is longer than standard and may not fully seat in its socket. This is not your situation.

              Sometimes a slight rotation as it bottoms out will ease it past the internal connections.
