Splitting a 3.5mm combo jack?

Hello everyone, it is possible to split a 3.5mm combo jack?

I have a Plantronics headset with a normal 3.5mm combo jack which I want to connect a PC sound card with separate inputs for line out and mic in.

All the splitters I have seen work in the opposite way (separate plugs into a combo jack)

Thank you

Googling for ‘headset splitter cable for pc’ finds many examples of what I think you’re looking for.

Thank you! Found a startech one.

All the ones i previously found work in the reverse fashion

Possible but very fiddly as the individual wires are very thin and it's easy to chop them off.
