The primary purpose of a component video cable is to carry the pulsed square wave high frequency AC video signals from source to TV/plasma/projector. Ecosse component cables ensure this transfer is carried out with the minimum of interference, signal loss, and signal degradation. With each cable upgrade 'noise' is progressively reduced resulting in an increasingly improved picture at your monitor end.

At the seriously high frequencies involved in video signal transfer, there are a number of factors that can create problems-if you wish to know more go here.

Suffice to say for now, the quality of any video cable is ultimately defined by its conductor material, the dielectric used and the electrical properties it exhibits in terms of inductance impedance and rejection of the environment-eg EMI,ESI. more...

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is around us at all times. It comes from radio towers, sunspots, cell phones, modems, remote controls, computers etc. EMI transmissions exist in wide ranges of frequencies including Radio Frequency range (RF noise). EMI exists within the range of video signal frequencies so it is possible for 'stray' signals from EMI to find their way into a video cable and therefore, create a false signal or internal noise within the component video cable. Our Ecosse video cables are sufficiently shielded to minimize EMI from entering into the cable including the use of braided grounding shields and non-magnetic foils.

There is a specific relation between the diameter of the conductor used and the diameter of its surrounding dielectric that must be maintained to ensure a true 75-ohm cable- in order to ensure delivery of lifelike video signals used in audiovisual system. Impedance is a measure of the ability of an AC network to impede the flow of charge or current through a network.
