Reference Component Video Cable Overview

Our NEWEST Component Video Cable. As with all of our cables, the Silver Serpent Reference Component Video Cable is engineered for video excellence. This is our most popular component video cable. This is a FUTURE-PROOF, extremely high bandwidth (3.0 GHz) multi-channel cable for the most demanding situations. High-definition TV, progressive-scan DVD, plasma displays, and projectors deliver eye-popping pictures like never before.

Reference Component Video Cable Technical Information

• 75-ohm (+ or - 1.5 ohm) - tightest tolerance in the industry.
• Solid-core silver-coated conductors.
• 500% larger conductor than our previous standard component video cable.
• Swept-tested over 3 Ghz bandwidth.
• Low 16.2 pF/ft capacitance.
• CMR rated for in-wall use.
• Gold-plated corrosion-resistant 75-ohm RCAs or BNC connectors.
• Nitrogen-injected HDPE dielectric insulation.
• Shielded with combination 100% foil and braided shield to protect against RFI and EMI.

Installations that use component video require special parameters in the cable design. Chief among them is TIMING. Since the signal is split into 3-channels (a B&W signal and two color difference signals) and then reassembled, the signals must arrive at the same time at the destination. The more the timing variance, the less detail can be resolved in the resulting picture. BetterCables® Silver Serpent® Reference Component Video design guarantees a maximum of 2.5 nanoseconds per 100 ft. This is ten times better than the broadcast maximum of 40 nanoseconds.


The combination of timing, low-attenuation, low-SRL makes this a world-class component video cable with no equal at ANY PRICE.
