For short signal runs, audio cable can be used for video without any issues. As the length of cable increases, it become more important to use cable that is designed for video signals. For most video signals, this will be a 75 ohm co-ax cable such as RG59. There will only be a noticeable difference in quality once the cable length exceeds 10 to 20 feet.

∙ 12y agoAssuming it has the right connectors (RCA probably) a video cable can be used for audio.
Most of the time they are exactly the same cables. The only difference being the clour of the RCA plugs on the end. This is only for identification, so that the correct sockets are used at the other end of the wires.

Can you play a VHS through a projector if so what cable do you suggest?
Audio and Video cables, red and white for audio and yellow for video, if both units have a S-connector use it. The S-cable is a better video cable. If you use a S-cable you don't use the yellow video cable.

Does audio come through svga cable?

Can you substitute video cable for audio cable?
Assuming the video cable has the right connectors, probably RCA type (phono connectors) then it can be used for audio signals. In fact, some high end audio interlinking cables use video cable because it is claimed that they work better than standard audio cable. (Note that this is the subject of fierce debate among audiophiles and there is no proof that video cable is an improvement on audio cable for audio signals) Using audio cable for video can also be done up to a point. For short connections, up to a few feet or a couple of metres, an audio cable will work just fine. As the length of the lead increases, the cable will begin to interfere with the video signal and cause loss of definition or ghost images. Substituting the cables will not cause damage to equipment, so it is safe to try it. If it looks or sounds like it works, then it works!
