Vszerda 3.5mm to 3 RCA AV Cable 3.3ft

SKU CH-8JVP-4SRZG

3.5 mm TRRS plug carries composite video and stereo audio to three RCA connectors for camcorders and TVs

  • Composite video and stereo audio from a single 3.5 mm jack
  • 3 ft length suits desktop and living-room setups
  • Colour-coded RCA plugs simplify correct connection
  • Flexible PVC jacket resists kinks during daily use
  • Works with Sony, Canon, JVC, Panasonic and Sharp camcorders

Signal wiring and colour coding

The 3.5 mm plug uses a TRRS layout wired as tip for left audio, first ring for video, second ring for ground and sleeve for right audio. RCA connectors follow the same assignment with white for left audio, yellow for composite video and red for right audio. Swapping the red and yellow plugs is required when connecting to TCL televisions, Nintendo Wii or Raspberry Pi devices.

Composite video bandwidth and cable length

Composite video transmitted through this cable is limited to standard-definition resolution and bandwidth, so it cannot carry high-definition or progressive-scan signals. The 3.3 ft length keeps attenuation low for typical living-room distances but longer runs would degrade the video signal noticeably. The PVC jacket remains flexible for routing behind equipment racks.

TRRS pin order decides compatibility

The exact tip-ring-ring-sleeve sequence determines whether a camcorder, television or single-board computer will recognise the audio and video channels correctly. If the source device uses a different TRRS pin-out the cable will produce no picture or swapped audio channels. Verify the manufacturer wiring diagram before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 3.3 ft cable or the 5 ft version for my camcorder?

The package includes the 3.3 ft cable; the 5 ft length appears only in the supplier title. Choose the shorter cable for desktop setups or the longer one if you need extra reach.

What does the TRRS wiring actually do when I plug this into my camcorder?

The tip, ring, ring and sleeve carry left audio, right audio, composite video and ground so a single 3.5 mm jack sends stereo sound plus video to the three RCA plugs.

How does the composite video standard limit picture quality on a modern TV?

Composite video caps resolution at standard definition, so the cable will not deliver HD or 4K signals regardless of the TV’s capabilities.
