Video cable adapter ShiverPeaks BS90024-5 5m 3 x RCA

The ShiverPeaks BS90024-5 5m 3 x RCA video cable adapter is a 5-metre analogue AV lead with three RCA plugs on each end for composite video and stereo analogue audio connections. Designed for linking DVD players, set-top boxes, older game consoles, VCRs and AV receivers to TVs or monitors, this cable provides a simple wired connection over a moderate distance. The black outer jacket and consistent connector layout help maintain clear signal paths and a tidy installation.

Advantages

The cable's 5 m length allows flexible placement of devices without moving furniture or components. Three RCA connectors on each end carry left and right audio plus composite video in a single lead, reducing cable clutter. Durable construction and molded connectors improve mechanical reliability and insertion stability during repeated use. The analogue design ensures compatibility with a wide range of legacy and current audio-visual equipment that supports RCA connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting DVD or Blu-ray players to televisions or AV receivers
• Linking legacy game consoles and VCRs to display devices
• Temporary or permanent AV setups in home theaters and classrooms
• Connecting camcorders or media players with RCA outputs to recording devices

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connectors: 3 x RCA on each end (video + left/right audio)
• Cable colour: Black
• Signal type: Analogue composite video and stereo audio

How to use

Insert the three RCA plugs at one end into the corresponding colour-coded jacks (video – usually yellow; audio – red and white) on the source device. Plug the other end into the matching jacks on the display or recording device. Ensure firm seating of each connector to avoid intermittent contacts. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension or proximity to high-power electrical cables to minimise interference. For best results, match input and output signal formats on connected devices.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short- to medium-range analogue AV connections. Avoid running it in parallel with mains wiring to reduce noise. If using long runs in demanding environments, consider higher-spec shielded leads or alternative digital connections for improved signal integrity.
