Replace An Rca Video Connector

Video RCA cables are almost always yellow.


RCA (Radio Corporation of America) video connector is a cable with a yellow 2.5-3.5mm head. The yellow color code designates a cable designed to transfer video signals, according to the Consumer Electronics Association. When a video RCA connector is damaged or needs to be replaced, the job is extremely simple, requiring only a new RCA video cable. Fortunately RCA cables are very inexpensive and readily available. A new 6' cable can be purchased for less than $3USD according to monoprice.com


Instructions


1. Locate the RCA video connector cable. The cable will have jacks at both ends, locate them. Remember what port the RCA video jacks are plugged into and remove them by pulling them out carefully.


2. Purchase a replacement RCA video cable of the same length as the original. RCA video cables can be purchased inexpensively at all major electronics stores and online retailers.


3. Connect the new RCA video cable to the ports the old RCA cable was connected to. Make sure the jack is pushed in all the way. The cable should now work perfectly.
