Those are called composite, just so you know

There were composite and component cables for these consoles.

My mnemonic device for remembering which of the two that sucked was that: one is called component, and the other is compo-shite :)

Composites with the one with only one video cable, component has three. Both having two audio for stereo.

YPbPr or RGB cables were essential if you had a compatible monitor. Composite just sucked
