In Reply to: what is the difference between component and rca cables posted by ryan on May 18, 2001 at 15:25:03:
Most video cable is 75ohm cable, we are not talking about audio cable. Some people think an RCA cable is an RCA cable, audio or video, not so, the fatter one, usually yellow, is 75 ohm. A component cable may have three or more, if sync is needed. The best cable, precision cable, has very low loss. When useing long runs, 12 to 20 feet, there is very little problems with this type. Some consumer cable is better than others, but, the pro cable is very rigid, because it has a double wind of shield in it, so rigid, it could snap the connectors right off consumer equipment. Short runs of consumer cable (3 to 6 feet) should not cause any measurable losses. Practicle routing of any cable, audio or video
around power cords and TV/Monitor power supply's, will help to reduce induced noise. Also, component lines must be equal in length for the timing of the video, we are talking nano seconds.
hope this helps,
