Apple Composite AV Cable Specification

The Apple Composite AV Cable is designed to deliver an optimal audio and video experience for users connecting their Apple devices to TVs and other display equipment. This cable facilitates the transmission of both audio and video signals from compatible Apple devices to televisions, home theater systems, and other audiovisual inputs. The cable is equipped with a 30-pin connector on one end, allowing seamless connection to older Apple devices such as the iPhone 4S, iPad 2, and iPod touch (4th generation), among others. On the opposite end, the cable features three RCA connectors, color-coded for easy identification: yellow for composite video, and red and white for stereo audio.

Constructed with high-quality materials to ensure durability and optimal signal transmission, the cable measures approximately 2 meters, providing ample length for versatile setup options in various environments.

By connecting Apple devices directly to larger screens, users can enjoy multimedia content such as videos, photos, and slideshows on a larger scale, enhancing the viewing experience.
