RCA cables are commonly used cables for audio and video transmission. They consist of three connectors: the red and white connectors carry the stereo signal (audio), and the yellow connector carries the video signal. RCA cables are known for their simple design and their wide compatibility with older and modern equipment such as televisions, CD players, game consoles and AV receivers. RCA cables provide a reliable connection and support analogue signals, but they cannot offer the same high picture and sound quality as modern digital connections.
