http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...37748?v=glance

$15.99 is not too bad....

Any opinions on Quality?

Quality is good, but just as good as Acoustic Research cables for around the same price at BB. Personally, it's Blue Jeans Cables for video or nothing.

Most of my cables are only 3', most people don't need 6' and have a lot of slack laying around. Truth be told though, I think 3' is a very bad length. If companies made 4', they'd probably sell more of those than 6'.

Actually, I need about 7 foot. My receiver does not do component video switching so I have to run from my dvd player (on the top of my A/V rack to the back of my RPTV. The TV is only about a foot away from the rack. 6 foot cables are just a little too short for me.

Will prob order some of these since my JVC Switchbox in right on the same shelf as my Dvd player. So these are worth it for me.

my 2 cents..

those cables are JUNK. ive used them before and they are almost worse than the "in the box" cables. i had a couple for small stuff in my system, and they never stayed connected, the picture quality was HELL. i would stay away, go with something else.
