RCAM Connectors

 

 

RCAM is the most common audio connector; it is used for every sort of analog input and output. These connectors come in color-coded pairs (usually red for right and black or white for left). RCAM connectors are also used for composite-video (coded yellow) and coaxial digital audio cables. "Coaxial" means the signal carrier and its shield are aligned along the same axis (generally a signal wire runs down the middle of a cylindrical shield). RCAM connectors were first used to connect early electronic record players to radios and still sometimes called "phone jacks."
