best buy and walmart have really long "yellow cables"

Google it. There are a few stores online that carry nothing but cables. You can get those very cheap!

Don't buy from retailers.

newegg, amazon.com

i got a 100 ft composite/s video cable on amazon for $25. that probably would cover you

Sewelldirect.com is my place. However, if you have the money and the run is long enough, I'd buy baluns and cat 5 cable so there's no loss of quality.

Man wish i had known about this solution, the club i work at installed a long rca using a coupler and it distorts with bass hits...... I wonder if i can get them to redo the cabling using these connections.

monoprice.com!!!

ummm really walmart/radio shack/the source /best buy just a bout anywhere......

Oh my god, some times I just have to say WTF? Are you stupid? If your a DJ for more then a week you have to have 10 of these (id say i have 30) laying around my house. Its a fucki** RCA cable.

no it's NOT RCA... it should be RG59

There IS a difference. RCA works in a pinch.

altex has really good deals. i buy all my wiring there. even mic cables and all my adapers

something that's always a option when doing longer runs are using xlr cables with rca adapters works just fine if you have it laying around already

if you have 30 laying around I have probably 100. I need the wire that VDJ's are using for clubs. Not the regular rca cable that loses quality or the cheap audio/video wires.

And I posted here to get some help not to get bashed. If you really just don't feel like helping just click on any other thread bro.

Im not a video expert but i think there was a misscommunication in the title of your thread since i believe the "yellow cable" is a plain RCA cable, most pro vdjs and high quality cables are going to be S-Video and up like DVS DVA ect ect

I'm with Beezle... I think he's talking about about a regular RCA cable... he did say "yellow cable"... Red, White, Yellow

^^ ok my bad then.

I meant to ask for something better than a yellow cable. I just typed yellow cable because that's what the damn apple adapter has on it, the S-Video and the Yellow RCA output. Found one on ebay:
cgi.ebay.com


I wonder if it will work wihout losing too much quality. Last time I was working I plugged a regular video rca cable and the quality was the worst!!

Yeah.... the classic red/white/yellow A/V cable - the yellow cable is typically just an RCA with a yellow end. For short distances, a regular "yellow" RCA will work, but this is not really a "composite video cable".

The professional version of the the "yellow RCA" should really be a composite video cable (which is typically RG59) as opposed to a yellow tipped audio RCA. This is especially true when running long distances, the RG59 composite cable offers better shielding, etc...

RCA is just a connector type.... so what you really need to run professional composite signal (yellow jack) is a an RG59 cable with RCA (or phono plug) connectors

Just what I was about to ask u. I'll google those RG59 with rca jack.
If you have a direct link to buy them pls post.
thanks a bunch!

I bought mine from Digiflex - but they are Canada only...

digiflexcables.com (VRP series at the bottom)

If you have the time, I would highly recommend finding someone to make up cables with the same Canare brand RG59 cable and connectors.... but if u need it asap, lots of guys recommend monoprice. I'd go with this from them:

www.monoprice.com

WOW I just noticed they were $6 each.... I paid $75 dealer cost for mine, but it is Canara cable with real (non-molded) connectors.... I'm sure the monoprice stuff will work, but remember you always get what you pay for!

*Canare*

I run the cable from the swapmeet 100ft car audio. no quality loss what so ever. those I leave. but when im mobile I use the one's I brought from circuit city b4 the went out of business. the one that are like snake cable. they have like 6 rca's on each end. so if one goes i have 5 left. I have that same dvi adaptor. the color dont mean nothing.
