RCA cables are used for transmitting analog composite-video and audio signals to different electronic audio-video devices. They usually have two to three color-coded connectors: yellow for composite video, black or white for left stereo, and red for right stereo. They are commonly used in stereos, televisions, speakers, VCRs, gaming consoles, computers, and other similar devices.

Choosing RCA Cables (Buying Tips)
Cable plating: For better audio and video quality, choose a gold-plated RCA cable. Gold plating also prevents signal interference and corrosion. For increased output quality, look for an Oxygen Free Hyper Conductor (OFHC) RCA cable. Protective jacket: Choose an RCA cable with a fire-retardant protective jacket made of PVC to prevent short-circuit fires from spreading to the other parts of your home or office.
