Assortment of color rings for video connectors such as our SURE Lock™ F connectors make identifying cables and wires trouble-free. Once the SURE Lock™ compression connector is compressed on to the cable, professional installers simply slide the selected color ring over the connector for easy identification. These colors are defined by industry standards to make commonly used connections for electronic devices in a home theater system easy to identify. Here are a list of signal connections that reference the CEA-863-A standard for "Connection Color Codes for Home Theater Systems."
| COLOR | CONNECTION |
|---|---|
| Yellow | Composite Video |
| White | Digital Video – Coaxial |
| Orange | Digital Audio – Coaxial |
| Green | Component Video |
| Grey | Sync, Horizontal Deflection |
| Black | Sync, Vertical Deflection |
| Red | Component Video (CH3, R) |
Other color ring indicators such as green indicate the use for an RG6 compression connector for coaxial cable and red for an RG59. These two are the most commonly used for video coax applications inside the home.
