5.0 out of 5 stars great cable, June 6, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Belkin F8V308-12 12-Foot S-Video Cable (Electronics)

No problems at all. and to the person with the prior review a cable cannot the effects notes. more likley they were using a non progressive source to a progressive t.v. (Which is why they were fine with a composite connector.)

this cable will work fine, but no cable will fix the problem of connecting two incompatable devices.

In cables the quality of the shielding, the quality of the connectors and the workmanship of connection the wires to the connectors are the only issues. A cable losing signal due to a broken wire, or interference from inadaquate shielding would indicate poor quality.

I use this cable in a variety of cirumstances and it works fine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the price, can't tell difference., February 27, 2007

I bought this cable to run from my computer video card to an A/V switch, which connects to an older CRT TV. It sends the signal over just fine. I hooked a shorter 6' gold-plated S-video cable just to compare, and I really can't tell much of a difference. I have heard that the signal for S-Video can degrade due to cable material and cable length/distance. I can't tell the difference, but maybe the TV is so old that it has limited image quality. In my particular case I needed the 12' distance, and for $7, it's a good deal.

The cable was purchased to connect a computer to a standard definition TV. I haven't done an exhaustive comparison with other cables, but it's clearly higher quality than composite video and there is no noticeable noise when watching DVDs. The cable seems to be well constructed. Overall, I'm quite happy with it and it was decently priced.
