    Cables worked great. They were perfectly adjustable in case ports were far apart.

    I used these RCA cables to connect an HDMI-to-RCI signal converter to an older with only RCA ports and a coaxial cable jack. They are high-quality and provide clear video and audio with my HDMI antenna.

    It’s a composite cable. You likely need this for older equipment on a TV where this is the only analog input it accepts. It works. No death grip. You can buy it in stores. What else is there to say?

    Perfect. Even using for old CDs. I was watching a video from 21 years ago, and using that extension seemed like it would never go out of style. It's indispensable.
