What's the difference between RCA cables and components cables?

Component cables *are* RCA cables. However, not all RCA cables are the same. Some are designed for audio (usually with red and white plugs), some for composite video (yellow plug) and some for component (red, green, blue plugs). All of these must handle different frequency bandwidths, with component being the most demanding. Therefore it is not advisable to use audio or composite cables for component video, but any high-quality RCA cable will work. NOTHING

be more specific.

If you want a really good, sharp, clean, crystal-clear picture, go with component video cables. The difference is this:

RCA - has white (left channel audio), red (right channel audio), and yellow (video) cords. (3 total)

Component Video - has white, red, red (Pr), blue(Pb), green(Y-) cables. White & red are for the audio, and the other ones, are seperated into different channels for the best possible picture quality. I used to know exactly what the colors were for, but now that I'm trying to think of it, I can't remember. If I remember, I'll add to this. You are comparing apples to oranges. I think what you meant is "what is the difference between component and composite cables". Both component and composite are of "RCA" type meaning the terminations are the same type. The difference is video quality and resolution. I know what you mean.
