• Typical uses: Connecting keyboards, controllers, or drum machines to computers or audio interfaces.
• Compatibility: Many cables work with Windows, Mac, and various music production setups.
• Versatility: Some cables offer USB or USB-C connections for newer devices.

Always check your device’s ports and requirements before choosing a cable.
