The S-Video cable has superior construction and consists consists of heavy-duty, gold-plated, all metal connectors, for better shielding where you need it most. Also it features a pair of heavy-gauge, shielded conductors made of oxygen-free copper and protected with a thick PVC insulating jacket.
When have you read these types of specs on an S-Video cable? Never, I bet, as I haven't. Not even from the big, monster-type companys. We're proud of what we sell and we want to shout it. "Don't buy ANY S-Video cable that doesn't have specs and question any manufacturer who doesn't display them." We at, HDTV Supply, Inc. tests every S-Video cable that we ship so the cable doesn't impact your picture.
S-video cables carry the color and brightness (chrominance and luminance) parts of the video signal separately. To carry these signals, S-video cable has to consist of two separate cables in one jacket. Most manufacturers try to cram two miniature cables into the same size jacket you'd normally use for one. This process tends to change the impedance of the cable, resulting in signal loss and a bad picture.
These are top-performing, videophile-grade S-Video cables, but at a cost lower than many lesser S-Video cables go for in the big chain stores and monster-companies.
All of our cables have gold plated connectors which resist corrosion 100 times better then non-plated connectors. Many home theater applications require the cables be installed inside walls, fireplaces or other moisture rich areas and using our gold plated connectors assures you that you will not have any future corrosion issues that may result in a bad high definition picture.
Your video is only as good as the cable that connects it. Why not buy this S-Video cable today?
