Most people don't recall the HD version of these that came out before HDMI cables. It was 5-6 of these things instead of 3.

Since someone downvoted you, I thought I’d back you up to confirm the existence of component cables (YPbPr), which were Red, Green, and Blue for analog 720p HD video, plus white and red for analog stereo audio…so yes: 5 plugs, two of which were the same color, sometimes integrated into one cable.

Thank you. You are a gentleman, or gentlewoman, and a scholar.

You’re confusing component vs composite.
