C2G 1.5ft (0.46m) RapidRun VGA (HD15) + 3.5mm + Composite Video + Stereo Audio Flying Lead

Overview

The C2G 60018 is a 1.5-foot RapidRun flying lead designed to deliver VGA video, 3.5 mm audio, composite video, and stereo audio signals through a single, compact cable assembly. It serves as a key component in the RapidRun modular cabling system, allowing installers to run a single hidden runner cable through walls or ceilings and then finish each end with pre-terminated leads. This setup simplifies installation, reduces on-site labor, and maintains a clean, professional appearance in environments like classrooms and conference rooms.

By connecting a computer or other source at a teacher station to a ceiling-mounted projector or display, this flying lead supports multiple signal types without the need for additional adapters or clutter. Its use of 28 AWG and 24 AWG conductors ensures reliable signal integrity over the short breakout distance, making it a practical choice for institutional AV setups.

Key features

• Combines VGA HD15, 3.5 mm audio, composite video, and stereo audio in one cable to reduce cable clutter and simplify connections.
• Part of the RapidRun system, enabling easy installation with pre-terminated leads that eliminate the need for field soldering or crimping.
• Designed to fit naturally in classrooms, lecture halls, and other institutional spaces where clean, professional AV setups are essential.
• Uses 28 AWG and 24 AWG conductors to maintain dependable signal transfer and preserve video and audio quality.
• Compatible with RapidRun Multi-Format runner cables and wall plates, allowing flexible system configurations.
• Supports a neat and efficient AV installation by enabling hidden cable runs through walls or ceilings.

Key specs

• Length: 1.5 feet (0.46 meters)
• Video connectors: VGA HD15 and composite video
• Audio connectors: 3.5 mm audio and stereo audio
• Conductor gauge: 28 AWG and 24 AWG
• Signal support: VGA video, composite video, stereo audio
• Compatibility: RapidRun Multi-Format runner cables and wall plates

Connectivity and compatibility

This flying lead integrates multiple signal types into one cable, making it ideal for AV systems that require both computer video and composite video sources along with audio. It connects directly to VGA HD15 ports for PC video, 3.5 mm jacks for audio input, and composite video inputs for devices like DVD players. The cable is designed to work seamlessly with RapidRun runner cables and wall plates, providing a modular and scalable solution for AV installations.

While it does not support EDID data transmission due to shared conductors, manual display configuration can be used to ensure proper video settings. Each installation requires either two flying leads or one flying lead paired with a RapidRun wall plate to complete the signal path.

Ideal uses and environments

This flying lead is well suited to educational and institutional settings such as classrooms, lecture halls, and conference rooms where multiple AV sources need to be connected cleanly and efficiently. It supports setups where a teacher’s computer and additional composite video devices must feed a ceiling-mounted projector or display without visible cables or adapters. The cable’s short length and modular design make it a strong choice for integrators aiming to reduce installation time and maintain a professional appearance.
