VGA to 3RCA + S-Video adapter

This adapter cable converts a VGA output to composite and S-Video inputs for older displays. It is intended for graphics cards that provide a TV-Out signal through the 15-pin VGA connector. The cable is black and measures .5 ft in length. It provides a simple link for legacy video connections.

Upgrade from direct VGA connection

The adapter replaces a direct VGA cable when the target display only accepts composite or S-Video signals. The jump is worthwhile only if the source graphics card explicitly supports TV-Out through its VGA port. Without that capability the adapter will not produce a picture.

Composite and S-Video output headroom

The cable handles standard-definition composite video via three RCA connectors and S-Video via a 4-pin connector. It runs out when the source lacks TV-Out functionality or when the display requires a higher-resolution digital signal such as HDMI. It does not convert or upscale the video signal.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the 0.5 ft VGA-to-3RCA-plus-S-Video cable need behind the PC?

The cable is only 0.5 ft long, so it adds roughly six inches of depth behind the VGA port; allow a little extra room for the five female connectors to sit without bending the VGA plug.

Do I need to enable TV-Out in the graphics driver before plugging in the 15-pin VGA male connector?

Yes — the adapter only passes signals that the GPU actively sends through its TV-Out function, so enable that mode in the driver control panel before connecting the VGA male end.

Will the gold-plated contacts on the 3RCA and S-Video ports need cleaning over time?

Occasional contact cleaner or a dry brush keeps the RCA and 4-pin S-Video sockets reliable; the short cable itself has no moving parts to wear out.
