5-RCA Component Video Cable
This Monoprice 102182 cable carries analog component video and stereo audio over five RCA connectors. It suits users linking legacy DVD players, VCRs or similar sources to a compatible television or display.
Check source and display ports
Verify that both the output device and the screen provide three RCA video sockets (Red, Green, Blue) plus two RCA audio sockets (Red, White). The cable is three feet long, so confirm the distance between your components fits this reach.
Replaces composite or S-Video links
Upgrading from single-video-channel connections adds separate luminance and colour-difference paths for a cleaner analog picture. The step up is worthwhile when your source and display both support YPbPr component input and you want the best analogue quality available.

Questions about this item
What connectors and cables are included with the Monoprice 102182 component video cable?
The cable has five RCA plugs moulded on — three for YPbPr video (red, green, blue) and two for stereo audio (red, white). No extra adapters or cables are required for a standard component-video connection.
How do the 22AWG video conductors and 27AWG audio conductors differ in use?
The three video lines use thicker 22AWG cores inside RG-59 coaxial shielding to carry high-frequency YPbPr signals, while the two audio lines use finer 27AWG stranded conductors for left and right analogue sound.
Will the gold-plated RCA plugs on this 3 ft cable stay corrosion-free on my DVD player and TV?
Yes. The gold plating on all five RCA connectors resists oxidation, so the contact resistance stays low even after years of plugging and unplugging between a DVD player, VCR or TV.
