Where to find proper GameCube S-Video cable?

[cachaito]

Hi! I'm struggling with finding decent S-Video cable with a 75 ohm resistors connected to ground from the video pins (and international shipment) for my NTSC GameCube. Any advices?

Nintendo NTSC s-video cables do not contain any passive components (no resistors). That's only required for RGB and composite on PAL consoles.

This is the cable that I've used when I needed s-video:

It's probably the best you'll find without spending a bunch more for the Monster or OEM cables.

Yeah nowadays nearly all OEM cables apart from RF/composite are hard to find or pricey (or both).

If you really want the official one, this is the least expensive on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-Offici ... SwEzxYVA~H

If you're in Europe though, PM me as I can let you have mine for half that (only using it for the audio signal, for which a composite would be fine too).

Yesterday I bought this one: http://www.ebay.pl/itm/131507232979?_tr ... EBIDX%3AIT
I hope that this is the same as Guspaz advices.

I can't say if it is or not, but it looks similar, and you're already a leg up by not having a composite plug (most s-video cables that also have composite are garbage).

At least it was very cheap if it doesn't work out.

Indeed. I will leave info when cable arrives.

Dumb question, but do the red and white audio RCA plugs on an S-Video cable have higher quality sound than the red and white audio RCA plugs on a Composite cable?

[Guspaz]

They're the same pins on the connector. It's the same signal.
