This is because a 3.5mm jack is really a headphone outlet so wouldn't
normally need screened cable. Although you can get twin screened mic

It's used for headphones on domestic and miniature equipment.

Yes. This is where it first saw the light of day, which is what I meant.

It's also the standard for line output on domestic soundcards.

And line or mic input on some too. Used because it's small. IMHO, it's a
dreadful connector for low signal use.

A screened 3.5 mm jack plug to two phonos is a very standard cable.

Or to two phono sockets.
