Need a special cable

I need a cable 5 to 6 ft long that has a 3.5mm plug on each end. The plug needs to have 4 connections, (three segments), that is, ground, video, and left and right audio. This cable is to connect the AV output of a video player to a stereo monitor. I have looked for this thing but so far all I can find is a cable with the proper connector on one end and RCA plugs on the other. This would require my having to buy two cables and three barrels and put them together to make this work. And Radio Shlock wants 25.00 just for one cable. Does anyone know where I can find this animal? Thanks, Lenny

I got a whole bunch of them for a few dollars each on eBay.

For a new cable, Digi-Key CP-354S-M/M-ND, $6.09 quantity 1, plus a few
bucks shipping. 4 conductor 3.5mm plug on each end, 6' long. I don't
know if this is any good or not, just that it exists.

If you just have to do this once at the lowest possible cost, and it
doesn't have to look nice, try the local thrift stores. They often have
a wall of assorted orphan signal cables, line cords, wall-warts, etc for
$1 or $2 each. You'd still have to buy the barrels for this option.

Standard disclaimers apply: I don't get money or other consideration
from any companies mentioned.

He wants stereo plus video. You'll have to use RCA cables. Try Markertek
or B and H Photo. You might get lucky.
