Analogue video cable for linking older camcorders and DVD players to TVs and monitors, preserving signal separation and connection reliability, the Xiatiaosann S-Video Cable. Clearer transfers and simpler playback can take the stress out of digitising tapes or watching family footage. Is connector compatibility and build quality suitable for your existing AV kit?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Image Quality: Y/C separation reduces chroma-luminance cross-talk, supporting clearer analogue video than composite
- • Best for: Connecting camcorders, satellite receivers, DVD players or PCs with TV out to displays or A/V receivers
- • Not ideal for: Setups requiring 9-hole S-video sockets, which are not compatible with the 4-pin connector
Standard 4-pin Mini DIN S-Video cables with 1m length, gold-plated plugs and double shielding. Pack includes two male-to-male cables plus two female-to-female couplers for extension or gender change.
Stable analogue signal – with refined copper core and double shielding
Refined copper conductor surrounded by foil and braid shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference, while preserving separate luminance and chrominance paths. The Y/C architecture sends luminance and colour on distinct lines rather than a single composite feed.
Cleaner playback and fewer colour artefacts when capturing or viewing footage from VCRs and camcorders, especially useful for older analogue sources.
Durable connections – with gold-plated Mini DIN plugs
Gold-plated plug surfaces resist oxidation and maintain consistent electrical contact over repeated insertions and removals. Stable contact lowers the chance of intermittent dropouts during recording or playback.
Reliable signal transfer across many uses, reducing frustrating interruptions during transfers or live playback.
Flexible setup and extension – with included male-to-male cables and couplers
Each package contains two 1m male-to-male S-Video cables and two female-to-female adapters, allowing cables to be joined for longer runs or to change connector gender. The connector is a standard 4-pin Mini DIN, suitable for 4-hole and 7-hole terminal patterns but not for 9-hole terminals.
Easier routing around AV racks and the ability to adapt connections without buying extra bespoke leads.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for Xiatiaosann S-Video Cable
