Silver-Plated HDTV High-Definition TV Component Cable for Xbox Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, the quality of this cable really is superb. The contacts all look gold-plated and the construction is solid. There are only two problems which prevented this from getting 5 stars:

1) The shrink tubing that is supposed to keep the audio cables separated from the video cable was not heated and shrunk. This can be fixed if you have a heat gun but come on - pretty sad it was missed.This might have been an isolated incident, however.

2) More important: This cable is NOT designed to fit into a first-generation Xbox.I have two different Xboxes, one a first-release and the other a later version.The later revision model's AV port has a plastic top and a metal bar along the bottom and this cable fits and works fine.The earlier model's AV port is entirely plastic and this cable is a VERY tight fit.It took some (very careful) effort to plug it in, and once in it does not go all the way into the slot.However, if you manage to plug it in, it does work and the quality is fine. (Note I am not talking about the original Xbox versus the Xbox 360. I am talking about release versions of the original Xbox.)

Going from composite video (just the yellow cable) to this component cable really is a huge jump in quality.The image is sharper and there is none of that annoying dot-crawl so common with composite video. As should be obvious from the picture, the sound is NOT HD, but just the standard left/right audio.I've noticed no problems with noise or lines as other reviews have claimed to have.

Overall it's a great cable when considering the price. Just be careful if you have an older Xbox when plugging the cable in.You may have to wiggle it in and out several times before getting it in place.
