What is a "component video cable"?
A component video cable is a type of cable used to send high-quality video signals from one device to another. It separates the video signal into three parts: one for brightness and two for color, usually with red, blue, and green connectors. This separation improves picture quality compared to older single-cable systems. Component video cables are often used with DVD players, game consoles, and some older TVs, but they only carry video signals, so a separate cable is needed for sound. They have largely been replaced by HDMI in modern setups.
