I bought (4) these cables to install in my basement that is being finished. They arrived in one day, in great condition, and work great. The price for these was unbelievable! The same cable at Radio-Shak would cost 5 times as much. Great price and delivery. Made in China, but work well.

Unlike some of my other 25 foot cables, this one produced a perfect signal. You don't need more than this, it's a good buy, especially at this price.

Back in the day when SVID was the "state of the art", a cable of this length would have run you about $100! Of course with HDMI or even component video being a more recent stardard, the cable has lost it's value. But in any event, I paid under $6 for this 25-foot SVID cable and it performs just as well as I'd expect. No intereference (but with digital signals, intereference is rare anyway) and a smooth, thick jacket. Just what I needed to run video signal from my PC in the basement to the TV in the living room. Recomended.

cables worked, but had slightly fuzzy lines in the picture. not as good a quality as other s-video cables I have used.

I bought this cable to run from my pc to my TV to watch the shows I missed w/out having to sit at my desk. This does the job nicely. If you got a video card w/a S-video connection, this is for you.

Gold plated for good conduction, works perfect for hooking a computer up to a tv monitor, picture is sharp and clear.

When I got a used projector (Boxlight 3600) for use in my apartment theater, I needed to run a long video cable from the front of the room to the rear where the projector sat. I usually used normal composite video, but decided to upgrade to S-Video, esp. since the cable really didn't cost that much more for the length I needed. The improvement was AMAZING. Text was less blurry, the colors were far crisper and didn't bleed into one another, and reflections and shiny objects now had a bit of gleam to them (I think the reason they look so opaque is due to the fact that the pj is 11 years old). I never realized how much of a difference a cable could make.

As for whether or not crosstalk is present, I'm not a very good judge of that sort of thing. What I do know is that it works waaay better than my old composite cable on my low-res 800x600 projector for my DVDs. My movies are now much more enjoyable, and they were pretty enjoyable before. The cable certainly isn't Monster/THX quality, but it's a fairly sturdy cable for the price you pay. Great for a low budget system.

I wanted something to quickly connect my laptop to tv, and it does that perfectly =) I have a 7-pin s video jack on the back of my comp and the 4 pin plug fits in just fine. s-video cables don't transmit the best viewing quality from computer to tv (so if you want high quality check out a different way to connect), but it's decent & i really liked the price!

An Amazon shop had this for a bargain basement price, and for good reason. It has a decent picture on my 25" television using my GeForce video card when you can see past the waves of interference. I guess the cheap price comes at the expense of decent shielding, but oddly enough the cable feels thick and sturdy. Nevertheless, pass on it and just buy a better reviewed name brand.

i was scared it would be bad quality but it works just fine
