Frequently Asked Questions

What is the length of the Monoprice 2403 Component Video Cable?

The Monoprice 2403 cable is 100 feet long, providing ample length for connecting devices over extended distances.

What type of signal does this cable transmit?

This is a 3-RCA Component Video Cable, designed specifically for transmitting analog component video signals.

Is this cable suitable for connecting modern high-definition devices?

While it transmits high-definition analog video, it is an older standard and may not be compatible with newer digital devices that primarily use HDMI or DisplayPort connections.

Does this cable also transmit audio?

No, this 3-RCA Component Video Cable is exclusively for video signals; separate audio cables will be required for sound transmission.

What is "component video" and why would I use this cable?

Component video separates the video signal into three distinct channels (luminance and two color difference signals) to provide a higher quality analog image than composite video. This cable is used to connect devices with component video outputs to compatible displays.
