The grey composite A/V cable Nintendo shipped with the SNES, Nintendo 64 and GameCube. One connector fits all three consoles, ending in yellow, white and red RCA plugs. Composite is the lowest quality the Multi Out port can produce.

Notes & Compatibility
Fits the SNES, Nintendo 64 and both GameCube revisions (DOL-001 and DOL-101). The same port carries S-Video and RGB — either is a large, cheap improvement. Original Nintendo cables (SHVC-008 / DOL-004) are common and cheap secondhand; unbranded ones vary in shielding quality, which shows as a faint interference pattern on bright backgrounds.
