In home applications, the composite video signal is typically connected using an RCA connector, normally yellow. It is often accompanied with red and white connectors for right and left audio channels respectively. [[BNC connector]]s and higher quality [[coaxial cable]] are often used in professional [[television studio]]s and [[post-production]] applications. BNC connectors were also used for composite video connections on early home [[VCR]]s, often accompanied by either RCA connector or a 5-pin [[DIN connector]] for audio. The BNC connector, in turn, post dated the [[PL-259]] connector featured on first-generation VCRs.

Video cables are 75 ohm impedance, low in capacitance. Typical values run from 52&nbsp;pF/m for an [[HDPE]]-foamed dielectric precision video cable to 69&nbsp;pF/m for a solid PE dielectric cable.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/subwoofer/LC1-design-notes.htm |title=LC-1 Audio Cable Design Notes |publisher=Blue Jeans Cable |access-date=21 January 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111128085452/http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/subwoofer/LC1-design-notes.htm |archive-date=28 November 2011 }}</ref>
