video cable...


Explanation:
Without a bit of context it's hard to tell what would work best, but in principle mentioning "connection" is useless here, only producing a tautology.

agree  Mark Cole: "Video cable" sounds fine to me. Unless there's some important technical information conveyed by the word propojovaci (connecting, interconnecting), I don't see any special need to translate it here.

I think that there\'s a cable for a temporary connection. Maybe, there\'s the cutoff of the main feed, or they want to test the video cable network, etc

neutral  Mark Cole: "jumper cable" (US) or "jump lead" (UK) - this is "each of a pair of thick cables fitted with clips at either end, used for recharging a battery in a motor vehicle..." (Oxford Dictionary).

  -> It's the original meaning. Now 'jumper' means a piece of cable or wire for temporary connection in the case of checking the network, in the case of emergency situation, etc

video connecting cable, video connecting leads


Explanation:
I propose the full term, but the term " video cable" is also almost correct. Consult the occurance frequency on internet.
