2.5 to 3.5 - 12v trigger?

[holsen]

Trying to set up a trigger from the WiiM Pro to my Amplifier. The problem is the Pro has a 2.5mm trigger out and virtually everything else has a 3.5mm trigger in. I can't find a 2.5mm mono cable anywhere and I haven't been able to find a 3.5F to 2.5M adapter

Has anyone been able to work this out that can direct me to a solution?
Why on earth would WiiM choose a 2.5 output?

A quick search on Amazon for "2.5mm To 3.5mm Mono Cable" provided a result for a single lead 2.5 mono to 3.5 stereo.
I think that would work still.
I have a (3.5 to 3.5) stereo cable between the ultra and vibelink, so I don't think mono vs stereo is the critical part.
Happy for anyone to tell me I'm wrong though!

I am using a stereo cable without any issues.

There are plenty of other similar stereo cables available to choose from on Amazon.

I used this in the back of my WiiM Pro and subsequently my Pro +

Thanks All, I was just using the wrong search term. Using 12v Trigger cable wasn't cutting it. 2.5 Mono did it! Appreciate the help.

But you don't need Mono, Stereo works fine.

Yes it may, but there are only two connections to be made. The third pole is superfluous and may have undesired consequences.

An intermittent connection could cause the relay coil to prematurely fail.
