Re: Component video cables advice...help I am new here

32.100.100.222

I recently (a couple of weeks ago) went through the selection process for component video cables. I found that the Canare cables were the most bang for the buck. They are available with true 75 ohm RCA Canare termination that is said to improve signal strength relative to noise. I found that I could get some from Markertek video supply www.markertek.com) at a price of about $50 for a 6 ft. (three strand) cable and aabout $10 more for a 12 ft. length. This cable must be special ordered and custom fabricated because in the studio industry the connectors have been BNC and component video in consumer form is too new for the cable to be in the catalogue. The three strand canare cable is the v3-3c cable. Of course you may be able to get even better cable if you make your own 3 strand from individual cables. I believe that I read a string either on this forum or the cable forum about 4 days ago discussing a Belden cable that is called the Brilliance line and the 75 ohm version was the 1694A RG6 DTS/HDTV. I hear it is pricey and still needs the Canare RCAs added.
