I’m not sure where the best place for this question is, but: is there a reason it’s difficult/impossible to find a cable that splits a 3.5mm stereo cable into left and right 3.5mm mono cables, as opposed to, for instance, 1/4" cables?

i wish i knew

spent like maybe 2 hours looking through gear sites before amazon was the only remaining solution :///

Stereo break outs are more commonly 3.5mm TRS to dual 3.5mm TSF like this (meaning you need a 3.5mm TS patch cable too). I literally just soldered a 3.5mm TRS to dual 3.5mm TS to avoid the need for the extra two patch cables when it’s going between adjacent modules. I guess this is what you want?

The Hosa YMM-261should be what you want.

Edit: just saw @chalkwalk recommended the same

I think they’re just less common because monophonic home audio gear like a speaker / monitor is more likely to use a 1/4 or RCA jack.

Thanks folks, I figured it was a technical reason but I guess it’s just popularity!

Same here; polarnoise Have displaced the rest for me, except stackables. About 2 years in with them and none have crapped out, but im gentle with them.
