Al, I strongly suggest you be nice about it and have them run a set of Component cables as well. (The world is moving towards component connections anyway.)
If you contact
www.bluejeanscables.com, I believe they will sell you 2 runs of 3-conductor cable:
- 1 set of component video cables (with the wonderful Canare coax & connectors).
- 1 set of 3-conductor component video cables made with Belden RG59, but one wire with RCA plugs for Composite, and 2 of the wires soldered into SVideo plugs. You have to go with the RG59 because of the size. The RG6 just does not fit well.
This will give you all 3 video connection types. You will never regret the extra capacity.
Note: Svideo connectors are a pain to connect to wires. While you can do your own RCA plugs, SVideo takes some skill/experience to do correctly. There was a white-paper floating around a few years ago advising even DIY cable builders to not even bother with SVideo unless they were experienced electronic techs.
Short Advice: No way in he-- should you let some fumble-fingered construction worker attach SVideo connectors even to true SVideo cable. Buy the cable with the connectors attached from a custom site and make the workers fish it through for you.
