Did you try Amazon if not check out Ebay.

I have looked and can't find anything like it only one that comes next to it is a rca cable but that wont work. my understand is there are 4 3.5mm audio jack cables put together or a maybe wrong. If so i could buy 4 3.5 audio jack cables at 10meter if its the same thing

I looks like a regular sound cable that comes off a set of computer speakers. I have a surround sound Creative system and it almost looks Identical to that.

 

[caamsa]

Yea I have the 7.1 system. What happened to your cables? Did one break?

 

[kilgourd]

It's off a creative sound system T7900 to be exact. So do you think its just 3 or 4 audio cables put together like 3.5mm audio jacks?

 

[kilgourd]

No it never broke. I'm linking two T7900 sounds systems together lol. An i need a longer cable so i can have bass box other side of the room

So you just need to increase the length of the cable. Hmmm not sure maybe you can splice a insulated wire in? Besides that I am not sure. Yes they really needed to make those cables longer. My base speaker one is not that long either.

Yeah i could splice it but would rather buy 4 3.5mm audio cables if thats indeed what they are.

If you go to Amazon and type in the words "3.5mm audio cable 10 meter" you will see generic stereo patch cables. Now, they are not color coded. But they will work. Also, instead of "10 meter", substitute "33 feet" you will get more hits. At least that is how it was on the Amazon site on the US side. There is nothing special about the Creative cables other than the color coding that they provide.

Thanks ikon21_21. Can i ask tho what makes you so sure? not being rude or anything.

I am an Electronic Technician by trade. I do this day in and day out. I have built cables for numerous devices both personally and professionally. That is a standard 3.5mm audio male to male cable. Or in the business a TRS connector (3 conductor). T = tip, R = ring, S = sleeve. Apple headsets are TRRS (4 conductor). The added ring is for the mic. As you can see in the gif below.
