What are these?

    I was going through every last one of my cables, throwing ones out I didn't need etc. until I came across these. I have no idea what they're for, and I'm really curious now. It seems to resemble a video/mono audio cable but it has a jack on the other end which I don't know why.

    The only kind of cables I own are mostly for my PC or for a load of different games consoles and handheld devices. The use of this cable is entirely unknown to me and I don't want to throw it out in case it can be somewhat handy.

    So, does anyone know?

    Yeah it's breaking convention. Yellow is traditionally composite video on the same connection...blame China.

    aren't some of these cables proprietary


    mono audio and+ composite video?

    You can send video to a microphone if you run them the other way around.

    They look like the kind of leads that you get with some cheap knock off games console or old DivX player.
    Mono sound and video.

    but it will all depend on what you plug them into i guess. But I have these for old 8 bit games machines.
