I've got a 25' foot set of Belden 1694A coaxes, colored red, green
and blue from Blue Jeans Cables. They are not in a single sleeve, so
they are a little more flexible than those that are sleeved together.
These cables have Canare RCAPs connectors.
The following is from the Blue Jeans Cable web site:
http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/component/index.htm
1694A is Belden's best--a polyethylene-dielectic cable, extremely low
in capacitance, sweep-tested to 3 GHz, and shielded with a dense
tinned copper braid and with Belden's "Duofoil" two-layered foil for
maximum isolation from outside noise and interference. Engineered for
critical digital video applications, its exceptional bandwidth and
low-loss characteristics make it perfect for use in carrying
component video signals, even over long distances.
Great coax, of course, isn't the end of the matter--either
figuratively or literally. We terminate both ends of these component
video cables with Canare RCAP RCA plugs, the best RCA plugs available
anywhere. Canare RCAPs are all-metal-bodied connectors designed for
excellent electrical contact, shielding and performance. More
significantly, these plugs were designed specifically for use in 75
ohm video lines, to minimize impedance mismatch problems which arise
at video signal frequencies. The contact surfaces are
gold-plated--but where most connectors use no other means besides
gold plating to ensure good contact, Canare RCAPs have a unique
"internal pressure contact finger" system, partially visible in the
photo at right. Nine gold-plated spring surfaces squeeze the jack
from all sides--firmly, but without excessive force--for a perfect,
mechanically solid and electrically sound contact every time. A
simple side-by-side comparison of these plugs with those found on the
mass-market cable brands leaves no doubt as to which is the superior
connector.
----------------
My 25 foot set set has a little wear (ie, you can tell they have been
lightly used) but is like new. The Blue Jeans Price is $69 +
shipping. I'm asking $49 + $9 shipping for my set, via Paypal, unless you can pick them up from me in San Jose, CA, used less than 5
months. (My media room configuration has changed, and now I'm using
a 6 foot set.)
