Video Cables


Video cables are used to connect a video source's output to a video monitor's input. The type of video cable used is called the interface and you must match the output type to the same input type.

There are conveniences like adaptors that different types of video cables can connect through. They can make non-matching input/output types interface as though they were the same.
The most common types of video cables are as follows:

Component
Composite
