Component cables *are* RCA cables. However, not all RCA cables are the same. Some are designed for audio (usually with red and white plugs), some for composite video (yellow plug) and some for component (red, green, blue plugs). All of these must handle different frequency bandwidths, with component being the most demanding. Therefore it is not advisable to use audio or composite cables for component video, but any high-quality RCA cable will work.

RE:
What's the difference between RCA cables and components cables?

Ok, this has to do with picture quality. If you just want a picture, go with RCA cables. If you want a really good, sharp, clean, crystal-clear picture, go with component video cables. The difference is this:
RCA - has white (left channel audio), red (right channel audio), and yellow (video) cords. (3 total)
Component Video - has white, red, red (Pr), blue(Pb), green(Y-) cables. White & red are for the audio, and the other ones, are seperated into different channels for the best possible picture quality. I used to know exactly what the colors were for, but now that I'm trying to think of it, I can't remember. If I remember, I'll add to this.

The big difference between RCA cable and component cable is it's function.
The RCA cable is used for audio and video signals;
yellow : video signal
red : right audio
white : left audio.
The component cable is used strictly for video signal.
red, green , and blue carries the entire video ,each has a different function,
The two cables are not interchangeable.

I know what you mean.
Component cables carry three signals on three cables.
This is still analog, but is much cleaner when you are running longer distance. A composite cable, commonly called RCA carries a signal that has all three signals combined. These signals interfere with each other so the picture is not quite as good. When HD displays came out, it made it a lot easier to see a noise from composite cables. So they didn't combine the three main signals but left them separate and that makes the display look better. S-video also has them split up but runs them closely together so they can still cross talk (mess up each other)

RCA cables basically
is a loose description of
audio or video cables with
RCA connectors. Component
video cables are essentially a set
of 3 component cables (i.e. RCA cables).
Single ended audio cables = interconnects with RCA
terminations which can relay either/or audio and video signals.

Not one thing.....except the color of the connectors. The $30 RCA Video cable is even more gentle on the TV's input jacks than the $100 gold plated Monster Cables.....I've had to resolder several jacks on customer's TVs thank to Monster and other manufacturers of high-end cables......

You are comparing apples to oranges. I think what you meant is "what is the difference between component and composite cables". Both component and composite are of "RCA" type meaning the terminations are the same type. The difference is video quality and resolution.
