I wanted a 10 foot component cable, and that's what I got. Price was reasonable and item had free shipping. Cable seems to be decent quality. No complaints.

Works exactly as advertised. The picture quality of the Wii on my HD tv was greatly improved with this cable. The video is sharper, better contrast and has no motion blur with this new cable. Worth purchasing!

Works great, no issues at all. I got this cable because the Nintendo factory made cable was only 6ft and was not long enough to run behind my wall for my mounted TV. Definitely would buy again.

Good product. Could not find cable longer than 10' so had to also extend this by another 3' to run through the wall to my TV. Works great.

These things only lasted a couple of months before they quit. The cables that came with my WII work fine but these now only give me sound. I won't waste my money on these again.

Out of the box, this cable did not work. Needless to say, I was not satisfied with this purchase at all.

 

I have various different company's cables for PC and other devices, and have never received a faulty one from Amazon or other online/physical retailers. This was an exception.

Everything seemed fine for the most part, but approximately every 15 minutes the screen would flicker. This got quite annoying after an hour or two of game play, so I decided to return them to Amazon. I researched the problem online, and most people with this problem had a non-Nintendo branded power adapter (this wasn't the case for me though).

I ordered the Nintento brand component cables, and they work perfectly, no screen flickering. If you are trying to decide on whether to save about 10 bucks or so going with third party cables, my advice is usually yes as I have had no problems with other platforms, but in this case I say definitely NO.

After doing research, I found that several people have experienced this screen flickering when using component cables with 480p. Most were from using a third party power adapter for the Wii. Others were from various things, such as using third party cables like this one, and not the official Nintendo ones.

Bottom Line:

When it comes to upgrading to 480p resolution on the Wii, stick with the original Nintendo power adapter, and Nintendo branded component cables to ensure you won't have to deal with headaches from returns.

These cables are just terrible. They literally have no shielding in them so if you have a power cable or power outlet located in your county you will then be greeted by various hums and hisses and your screen will flicker more then scrambled pay-per-view adult movies from when you were a teen. Avoid these cables and just spend the money and buy a quality cable like the official Nintendo ones or the Rocket Fish cables that I ended up going with. I would rather smash my manhood with a hammer then ever use these cables again.
