Composite Video Cable, Tartan Cable brand, 15 foot:

Composite Video is the earliest, and most basic, baseband video standard seen on television sets, VCRs, and other home theater devices. It combines color and luminance signals into one, and supports only one resolution, the original NTSC standard of 480i. While composite video has been superseded in most consumer applications by s-video, component, and HDMI, it remains a handy way to hook up legacy devices such as VHS decks, and is still supported by most displays.

Shielding and Impedance Stability

The most important attributes of a composite video cable are its characteristic impedance and the effectiveness of its shielding over a wide range of frequencies. This is a conventional 75 ohm impedance video cable, matching the impedance of all common home theater sources and displays. It carries a combination braid and foil shield; the foil provides 100% coverage and is highly effective at higher frequencies, while the braid provides better low-frequency protection, better physical durability, and lower resistance to ground to provide an effective ground path for EMI and RFI. This cable is CL2 rated for in-wall installation.
