Product Description

Cables To Go Premium component video cables will improve the performance of your progressive scan video sources by providing a much better interconnect solution than the “throw away” cables that are included with most consumer electronics products. The oxygen-free copper center conductor and foamed PE dielectric work to maintain 75-ohm characteristic impedance. The dual braided oxygen-free copper shields and aluminum foil sheath offer protection from environmental noise and interference. Robustly constructed using color-coded molded connectors that attach to an ultra-flexible jacket, Cables To Go cables are the epitome of easy installation and identification. 24K gold plated heavy-duty connectors ensure long-lasting, highly conductive signal connections.

So these aren't Monster cables... as the price very much reflects that sentiment! Do they work... an emphatic YES! They are gold tipped as the picture shows and a nice gauge. At eight foot length they are the perfect length for moving your components around. Is it better to spend a few extra dollars and use these over the usual supplied RCA plugs? Again, yes!

They bring out the color and make the images a bit sharper. You will be able to see the differences if you do a side by side comparison. If you are the type of person that wants great, crisp and vivids colors then RCA plugs will not suffice. My husband is a Cable/Phone tech and gets to play around with different types of brands. He finds that these will foot the bill and are a great alternative to Monster cables which are overpriced because of their name.

Highly recommend, as well as their HDMI cables. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.

This review is from: Cables To Go 98036 Premium Component Video Cable (8 Feet, Black/Gray) (Electronics)

(What's this?)

After hooking these babies up to our top of the line 50" Panasonic Plasma I can tell you that in this case "Cables to Go Premium Component Video Cables" work just as well as my high price name brand Gold Tipped cables! My son is DEEP into video filming & editing & it seems as he is ALWAYS "NEEDING" another cable of some kind, so when I had the opportunity to snag this baby to do a quality comparison I jumped on it...................to ascertain IF in fact I had been wise in ALWAYS buying the higher priced cables in the past. Well maybe there is a difference in other low end brands in comparison to the "Gold Tips" but in this case no one could tell any difference! NADA!!!
And the fact that they were being used on soch a big screen I think would hve amplified any distortion or quality issues, So when I need a spare cable(s) or replacement I will for sure be shopping for it in this bargain brand!! So if you are like me & want/need a quality cable feel confident in buying this one, at least in my cable I found it to be of the same quality as my Gold ones. If I have any issues down the road I will let you know, as I, like you, depend on these Amazon reviews to determine what will best suit my needs!

I am an Electronics Technician and I specialize in Audio/Video so my advice is that you should always ensure that your electronic devices are connected together with good quality leads. Yes I realize a lot of electronics manufacturers throw in a cheap connector with most equipment so it is tempting to use that and save money but really what is the point in paying $1000's on a high standard DVD player, Video Game System or TV when you use poor quality cables to connect them? Believe me a good quality lead will make a difference and it is as important as the standard of the equipment that you decide to buy.

This component lead by `Cables to Go' is excellent quality for the price. The cable is very robust and the plugs are molded into the cable so there is little chance that it will break. The plugs are also gold plated which is important to ensure a good connection. Add-in that the leads are made from oxygen-free copper for good conductivity and shielded with aluminum foil to stop interference then you are guaranteed to get great results.

The plugs are color-coded so it is a simple process to replace that tired old lead you have on DVD player or game system.

I connected this between a progressive scan Sony DVD player and a Panasonic High Definition TV and it performs to an excellent standard especially considering the length of the cable which is 8 foot. I would say this is definitely good overall value.
