Mike, I think you meant to write *ring* and not *sleeve*....... On
the TRS end, connect the two blue wires to the tip, connect the two
white wires to the sleeve ,* On the T-S end, connect the two blue
wires to the tip of one plug and the two white wires to the tip of the
other plug. Connect the sleeve to the sleeve of one plug.


Yes, you're correct. And also, I meant connect the SHIELD to the sleeve
(on both the TRS plug and one of the TS plugs). I make that mistake a
lot, but even when I don't proofread and make a correction, people seem
to figure it out anyway. It's the only thing that makes sense when
you're using a pair of wires as a single wire.


Cool, I have been soldering all day with different configurations of
cable with ends and am saving that one for last. Thanks for getting back
to me and I appreciate your time.
