The cables are made with Canares high-quality, True 75 Ohm connectors, fitted with flexible color-coded silicone strain-relief boots. The boots enhance the appearance of the cables and avoid sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. Here is an upgrade for your system that will be hard to miss -- from the professional look and feel of the cables themselves, to the superior quality of the video that they provide. Perfect for DVD or HDTV hook-ups! If you are not sure which component cable to choose, please click here for a comparison of Canare component video cables. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but 11 different color options are available below. *Be sure to include a note with your payment to let us know which of the included cable color(s) you want. If you do not specify, we will use our standard configuration which is yellow cable with red, green and blue strain-relief boots. Why Component? In a word, simplicity. Component video hook-ups eliminate some encoding and decoding steps. This is likely to improve picture quality because encoding or decoding a color signal is not a very clean process. Invariably some information is lost, and undesirable artifacts such as chroma crawl, busy edges, loss of detail in colored areas, and cross-color rainbows are generated. Each pass through the process adds to the problem, so the fewer times a signal is encoded and decoded, the better. If your equipment supports component video connections, you will certainly want to take advantage of it. What Makes Canare So Great? You can tell, just by looking, that Canare cables and connectors are well made, and you can tell by reading the rave reviews that Canare cables are great performers! Canare is the choice of professionals and discriminating enthusiasts, alike. We have found that the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. You probably already know the prices for Monster, Tributaries, and some of the other more esoteric cables -- they can be very expensive. On the basis of price alone, its hard to beat Canare, and if you consider performance, its even harder. From reading Monsters website, we were not able to see that they even claim to have constant impedance connectors! Its all very confusing, because a higher price does not necessarily equate to better performance, and most of the technical data on high-end cables is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, with little or no basis in fact. Unfortunately, superlatives do not render a superior picture. Formula for Superior Performance Heres what you need if you want the finest video that your equipment can deliver. You need video cables that are capable of maintaining a constant impedance. You dont want any bumps at the connectors, and you dont want the cable itself to change impedance when it bends. Even the finest cable changes impedance a little bit when it is bent sharply, so avoid doing so. Nice, smooth, consistent 75 Ohm impedance. Thats what your equipment wants, and thats what will deliver the best picture. You also want superior mechanical integrity. Nice, tight connections that will not degrade over time. You want to avoid dissimilar metals, which can lead to corrosion and degrade connections. To avoid dissimilar metals, try to stay away from soldered connections wherever you can, because solder almost guarantees that dissimilar metals will be in contact. Good solder work minimizes the problem, but there is also the challenge of making a solder connection without heat deforming the dielectric material of the cable. Any dimensional change in the dielectric will affect the impedance of the cable at that point. Of course you also want high quality cable. Flexibility is desirable because it avoids stress on your equipment and the interconnects. Try to avoid multiple materials in the conductors or shielding, because of the problems associated with dissimilar metals. Low loss is desirable, but dont sacrifice mechanical integrity in favor of small differences in loss specification! Cables with foamed dielectric materials generally have lower loss, but foam is not without its own inherent problems. Shielding is important, but dont be confused by exorbitant claims. Electrical shielding is not the same as waterproofing -- you dont need two, three, four, or more layers of shielding to get good electrical shielding, and all the extra layers make the cables stiff, and tend to make good terminations more difficult to install, and more prone to failure. Canare Cable These cables are made with Canares most popular cable, LV-61S. They are lightweight and extremely flexible. Considerably more flexible than the Monster cables we tested. This superior flexibility also ensures longer flex life. They have PVC jackets with a smooth, non-glare finish. They even stay flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cables really are made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 Ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest video cables available at any price. We prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. The CFB series cables have excellent high-frequency specifications, to be sure, but there is no practical advantage to using them for component video, and several disadvantages. This LV-61S cable is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. LV-61S has more than enough bandwidth for component video -- we have used this cable, with great success, in runs over 50 meters in length. If you really want CFB series cables, we have them here! Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around for over 50 years, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares new 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. See For Yourself! We have tested these Canare cables against Monster, and some other more esoteric cables. In our test setup, no other cable outperformed a Canare cable of a similar size. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD or laserdisc player, and take a look at the test patterns. Watch for the artifacts mentioned above that can creep in with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and look for the difference that constant impedance can make. We tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. Some of the cables that we tested had specs that looked better on paper than Canares, but in our real-world tests, Canare always prevailed. This picture shows a 2 meter set. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but feel free to select from any of the 11 color options listed below. The actual length of the cable offered for sale on this page is 2 meter (6.6 foot). This close-up will give you a better look at our RCA-type end preparations. This is our standard connector option.

This Canare LV-61S Precision Spec Your Own Cable offers a custom-configured, Canare precision cable, with 10 different cable colors, 11 different strain-relief, and three different connector options.* The cable is suitable for many kinds of video, audio, and RF applications. Use a single cable for SPDIF Digital audio applications, such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Alternately, a single cable also makes an ideal composite video cable, or specify F connectors for cable TV and satellite patch cables. Terminated with BNC connectors, it is ideal for test equipment. Buy a pair for analog audio interconnects, three for component video, five for RGBHV video, six for 5.1 analog audio, eight for 7.1 analog audio...the possibilities are almost endless. You may specify the color of the flexible silicone boots separately from the jacket color. The boots help to prevent sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. The cable can also be made with no boots - (required for lengths less than 0.5 meter), and some customers prefer the streamlined appearance, and shorter profile. The Cable With cable design, it is certainly true that there are many compromises to be made. That is why some cables may be good for audio, but not good for video. Likewise, cables that are good for video are often poor for audio. That is why it may be hard to understand how Canare LV-61S can be so good at so many things. Nonetheless, LV-61S has plenty of bandwidth for all kinds of video, including both composite and component video, right up to 1080p. We have customers using these cables for component video runs in the hundreds of feet with excellent results. Audio presents its own set of challenges, so it is somewhat surprising that a cable that works so well for video also excels with audio signals. We had not actually considered using this cable for audio until our founder visited with an engineer at one of the local television stations, and noticed that they were using this cable in most all of their patch panels - for both video and audio. More about audio later! While it is true that you might not want to use this cable for long, high-bandwidth RF runs, such as satellite down-leads, the unique connector implementation means that it often outperforms cables with better specs (on paper), when used for short RF runs. (for long RF runs, please consider these cables) This Canare cable is lightweight and extremely flexible. It has a PVC jacket with a smooth, non-glare finish. It is smooth and pleasing to the touch. It even stays flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cable really is made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest all-around coaxial cables available at any price. For patch cables and other relatively short runs, we prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. Compared to the CFB series cable, LV-61S is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around since the 1940s, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high-quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares innovative 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. Canare BNC Connectors The BNC-type connector is the best connector that is commonly available for applications of this type. In general, it is both mechanically and electrically superior to an RCA connector. It has a twist-lock mechanism to ensure that the connection is mechanically secure, and the electrical design of the connector does a good job of maintaining constant impedance at the connector. Canare takes this inherent superiority to the next level. For example, many BNC connectors have a characteristic impedance of only 50 Ohms, but Canare connectors are engineered to maintain a constant impedance of 75 Ohms. This make a lot of sense because virtually all A/V equipment is designed to work best with 75 Ohm cables. It follows that if you want the best performance your equipment can deliver, you will need cables and connectors that maintain this impedance. This electrical superiority is the result of superior mechanical design, high-quality materials and precision manufacturing. Canares BNC connectors are almost artful in their design...and they work very well indeed. In our experience, the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. Canare F Connectors The unique Canare F connector design features an electromechanically stable nickel-over-brass body, with an extra-wide torque nut and machined threads. Unlike virtually every other F connector, Canares design does not unitize the center conductor of the coaxial cable as the plugs center contact pin. Instead, the center pin is made from gold-plated brass. This innovative approach avoids problems that are often associated with typical F connectors, such as corrosion, misalignment, incorrect length, and poorly shaped tip of the center contact. The dedicated center pin design prevents equipment damage that can occur with lesser designs. For example, the instruction manual that comes with Jensen Transformers excellent VRD-1FF Cable TV Ground Isolator specifically warns that the warranty can be voided by damage resulting from using a center conductor that is misshapen, or too long. This kind of damage will never happen with a Canare F connector because it is always exactly the correct length and shape! The precision of the body design, combined with the dedicated center pin results in a precision connector. This precision results in a 75 Ohm impedance-matched connector that connects up smoothly and accurately, providing a consistently reliable connection and thus a very high level of performance. The solid brass handle shuts out static and EM noise. A satin-finished nickel plating provides long-lasting protection and beauty. A spring-type strain-relief prevents cable damage due to repeated bending at the cable entry point, so cables last up to three times longer than with plugs that do not have strain-reliefs. See For Yourself ! In some ways, its easier to see the difference that video cables can make, than it is to hear a difference with audio cables. We have tested these Canare cables in video applications against Monster, and some other more esoteric video cables. In our test setup, the Canare cables always produced a visibly superior picture. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD player, and take a look at the test patterns. Look for ghost images and ringing that are visible with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and see the difference that constant impedance can make. The difference ranges from visible to dramatic. We have tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. The Canare cables, without exception, always looked the best to us. Some of the cables that we tested had better specs for loss than the Canare cables, but we never actually saw any cable produce a better picture than Canare. Some of the same characteristics that ensure great video performance are also desirable for great audio. With analog audio, constant impedance helps to avoid non-linearity in your amplifiers, and the lack of reflected energy in the cable ensures maximum signal transfer. Muddiness and distortion are avoided. High quality precision cable protects you from audible hum and interference. Your sound will be clear and clean. Digital audio presents a different set of challenges, but the same rules apply. Constant impedance eliminates ringing, echo, and signal delays which may cause decoder errors. Extraneous noise is excluded, so your digital signal gets to the decoder intact. The end result is the same in either application -- great sound. *Be sure to include a note with your payment specifying the colors and terminations you prefer.

The cables are made with Canares high-quality, True 75 Ohm connectors, fitted with flexible color-coded silicone strain-relief boots. The boots enhance the appearance of the cables and avoid sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. Here is an upgrade for your system that will be hard to miss -- from the professional look and feel of the cables themselves, to the superior quality of the video that they provide. Perfect for DVD or HDTV hook-ups! If you are not sure which component cable to choose, please click here for a comparison of Canare component video cables. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but 11 different color options are available below. *Be sure to include a note with your payment to let us know which of the included cable color(s) you want. If you do not specify, we will use our standard configuration which is yellow cable with red, green and blue strain-relief boots. Why Component? In a word, simplicity. Component video hook-ups eliminate some encoding and decoding steps. This is likely to improve picture quality because encoding or decoding a color signal is not a very clean process. Invariably some information is lost, and undesirable artifacts such as chroma crawl, busy edges, loss of detail in colored areas, and cross-color rainbows are generated. Each pass through the process adds to the problem, so the fewer times a signal is encoded and decoded, the better. If your equipment supports component video connections, you will certainly want to take advantage of it. What Makes Canare So Great? You can tell, just by looking, that Canare cables and connectors are well made, and you can tell by reading the rave reviews that Canare cables are great performers! Canare is the choice of professionals and discriminating enthusiasts, alike. We have found that the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. You probably already know the prices for Monster, Tributaries, and some of the other more esoteric cables -- they can be very expensive. On the basis of price alone, its hard to beat Canare, and if you consider performance, its even harder. From reading Monsters website, we were not able to see that they even claim to have constant impedance connectors! Its all very confusing, because a higher price does not necessarily equate to better performance, and most of the technical data on high-end cables is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, with little or no basis in fact. Unfortunately, superlatives do not render a superior picture. Formula for Superior Performance Heres what you need if you want the finest video that your equipment can deliver. You need video cables that are capable of maintaining a constant impedance. You dont want any bumps at the connectors, and you dont want the cable itself to change impedance when it bends. Even the finest cable changes impedance a little bit when it is bent sharply, so avoid doing so. Nice, smooth, consistent 75 Ohm impedance. Thats what your equipment wants, and thats what will deliver the best picture. You also want superior mechanical integrity. Nice, tight connections that will not degrade over time. You want to avoid dissimilar metals, which can lead to corrosion and degrade connections. To avoid dissimilar metals, try to stay away from soldered connections wherever you can, because solder almost guarantees that dissimilar metals will be in contact. Good solder work minimizes the problem, but there is also the challenge of making a solder connection without heat deforming the dielectric material of the cable. Any dimensional change in the dielectric will affect the impedance of the cable at that point. Of course you also want high quality cable. Flexibility is desirable because it avoids stress on your equipment and the interconnects. Try to avoid multiple materials in the conductors or shielding, because of the problems associated with dissimilar metals. Low loss is desirable, but dont sacrifice mechanical integrity in favor of small differences in loss specification! Cables with foamed dielectric materials generally have lower loss, but foam is not without its own inherent problems. Shielding is important, but dont be confused by exorbitant claims. Electrical shielding is not the same as waterproofing -- you dont need two, three, four, or more layers of shielding to get good electrical shielding, and all the extra layers make the cables stiff, and tend to make good terminations more difficult to install, and more prone to failure. Canare Cable These cables are made with Canares most popular cable, LV-61S. They are lightweight and extremely flexible. Considerably more flexible than the Monster cables we tested. This superior flexibility also ensures longer flex life. They have PVC jackets with a smooth, non-glare finish. They even stay flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cables really are made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 Ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest video cables available at any price. We prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. The CFB series cables have excellent high-frequency specifications, to be sure, but there is no practical advantage to using them for component video, and several disadvantages. This LV-61S cable is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. LV-61S has more than enough bandwidth for component video -- we have used this cable, with great success, in runs over 50 meters in length. If you really want CFB series cables, we have them here! Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around for over 50 years, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares new 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. See For Yourself! We have tested these Canare cables against Monster, and some other more esoteric cables. In our test setup, no other cable outperformed a Canare cable of a similar size. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD or laserdisc player, and take a look at the test patterns. Watch for the artifacts mentioned above that can creep in with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and look for the difference that constant impedance can make. We tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. Some of the cables that we tested had specs that looked better on paper than Canares, but in our real-world tests, Canare always prevailed. This picture shows a 2 meter set. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but feel free to select from any of the 11 color options listed below. The actual length of the cable offered for sale on this page is 2 meter (6.6 foot). This close-up will give you a better look at our RCA-type end preparations. This is our standard connector option.

This Canare LV-61S Precision Spec Your Own Cable offers a custom-configured, Canare precision cable, with 10 different cable colors, 11 different strain-relief, and three different connector options.* The cable is suitable for many kinds of video, audio, and RF applications. Use a single cable for SPDIF Digital audio applications, such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Alternately, a single cable also makes an ideal composite video cable, or specify F connectors for cable TV and satellite patch cables. Terminated with BNC connectors, it is ideal for test equipment. Buy a pair for analog audio interconnects, three for component video, five for RGBHV video, six for 5.1 analog audio, eight for 7.1 analog audio...the possibilities are almost endless. You may specify the color of the flexible silicone boots separately from the jacket color. The boots help to prevent sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. The cable can also be made with no boots - (required for lengths less than 0.5 meter), and some customers prefer the streamlined appearance, and shorter profile. The Cable With cable design, it is certainly true that there are many compromises to be made. That is why some cables may be good for audio, but not good for video. Likewise, cables that are good for video are often poor for audio. That is why it may be hard to understand how Canare LV-61S can be so good at so many things. Nonetheless, LV-61S has plenty of bandwidth for all kinds of video, including both composite and component video, right up to 1080p. We have customers using these cables for component video runs in the hundreds of feet with excellent results. Audio presents its own set of challenges, so it is somewhat surprising that a cable that works so well for video also excels with audio signals. We had not actually considered using this cable for audio until our founder visited with an engineer at one of the local television stations, and noticed that they were using this cable in most all of their patch panels - for both video and audio. More about audio later! While it is true that you might not want to use this cable for long, high-bandwidth RF runs, such as satellite down-leads, the unique connector implementation means that it often outperforms cables with better specs (on paper), when used for short RF runs. (for long RF runs, please consider these cables) This Canare cable is lightweight and extremely flexible. It has a PVC jacket with a smooth, non-glare finish. It is smooth and pleasing to the touch. It even stays flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cable really is made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest all-around coaxial cables available at any price. For patch cables and other relatively short runs, we prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. Compared to the CFB series cable, LV-61S is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around since the 1940s, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high-quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares innovative 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. Canare BNC Connectors The BNC-type connector is the best connector that is commonly available for applications of this type. In general, it is both mechanically and electrically superior to an RCA connector. It has a twist-lock mechanism to ensure that the connection is mechanically secure, and the electrical design of the connector does a good job of maintaining constant impedance at the connector. Canare takes this inherent superiority to the next level. For example, many BNC connectors have a characteristic impedance of only 50 Ohms, but Canare connectors are engineered to maintain a constant impedance of 75 Ohms. This make a lot of sense because virtually all A/V equipment is designed to work best with 75 Ohm cables. It follows that if you want the best performance your equipment can deliver, you will need cables and connectors that maintain this impedance. This electrical superiority is the result of superior mechanical design, high-quality materials and precision manufacturing. Canares BNC connectors are almost artful in their design...and they work very well indeed. In our experience, the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. Canare F Connectors The unique Canare F connector design features an electromechanically stable nickel-over-brass body, with an extra-wide torque nut and machined threads. Unlike virtually every other F connector, Canares design does not unitize the center conductor of the coaxial cable as the plugs center contact pin. Instead, the center pin is made from gold-plated brass. This innovative approach avoids problems that are often associated with typical F connectors, such as corrosion, misalignment, incorrect length, and poorly shaped tip of the center contact. The dedicated center pin design prevents equipment damage that can occur with lesser designs. For example, the instruction manual that comes with Jensen Transformers excellent VRD-1FF Cable TV Ground Isolator specifically warns that the warranty can be voided by damage resulting from using a center conductor that is misshapen, or too long. This kind of damage will never happen with a Canare F connector because it is always exactly the correct length and shape! The precision of the body design, combined with the dedicated center pin results in a precision connector. This precision results in a 75 Ohm impedance-matched connector that connects up smoothly and accurately, providing a consistently reliable connection and thus a very high level of performance. The solid brass handle shuts out static and EM noise. A satin-finished nickel plating provides long-lasting protection and beauty. A spring-type strain-relief prevents cable damage due to repeated bending at the cable entry point, so cables last up to three times longer than with plugs that do not have strain-reliefs. See For Yourself ! In some ways, its easier to see the difference that video cables can make, than it is to hear a difference with audio cables. We have tested these Canare cables in video applications against Monster, and some other more esoteric video cables. In our test setup, the Canare cables always produced a visibly superior picture. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD player, and take a look at the test patterns. Look for ghost images and ringing that are visible with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and see the difference that constant impedance can make. The difference ranges from visible to dramatic. We have tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. The Canare cables, without exception, always looked the best to us. Some of the cables that we tested had better specs for loss than the Canare cables, but we never actually saw any cable produce a better picture than Canare. Some of the same characteristics that ensure great video performance are also desirable for great audio. With analog audio, constant impedance helps to avoid non-linearity in your amplifiers, and the lack of reflected energy in the cable ensures maximum signal transfer. Muddiness and distortion are avoided. High quality precision cable protects you from audible hum and interference. Your sound will be clear and clean. Digital audio presents a different set of challenges, but the same rules apply. Constant impedance eliminates ringing, echo, and signal delays which may cause decoder errors. Extraneous noise is excluded, so your digital signal gets to the decoder intact. The end result is the same in either application -- great sound. *Be sure to include a note with your payment specifying the colors and terminations you prefer.

The cables are made with Canares high-quality, True 75 Ohm connectors, fitted with flexible color-coded silicone strain-relief boots. The boots enhance the appearance of the cables and avoid sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. Here is an upgrade for your system that will be hard to miss -- from the professional look and feel of the cables themselves, to the superior quality of the video that they provide. Perfect for DVD or HDTV hook-ups! If you are not sure which component cable to choose, please click here for a comparison of Canare component video cables. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but 11 different color options are available below. *Be sure to include a note with your payment to let us know which of the included cable color(s) you want. If you do not specify, we will use our standard configuration which is yellow cable with red, green and blue strain-relief boots. Why Component? In a word, simplicity. Component video hook-ups eliminate some encoding and decoding steps. This is likely to improve picture quality because encoding or decoding a color signal is not a very clean process. Invariably some information is lost, and undesirable artifacts such as chroma crawl, busy edges, loss of detail in colored areas, and cross-color rainbows are generated. Each pass through the process adds to the problem, so the fewer times a signal is encoded and decoded, the better. If your equipment supports component video connections, you will certainly want to take advantage of it. What Makes Canare So Great? You can tell, just by looking, that Canare cables and connectors are well made, and you can tell by reading the rave reviews that Canare cables are great performers! Canare is the choice of professionals and discriminating enthusiasts, alike. We have found that the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. You probably already know the prices for Monster, Tributaries, and some of the other more esoteric cables -- they can be very expensive. On the basis of price alone, its hard to beat Canare, and if you consider performance, its even harder. From reading Monsters website, we were not able to see that they even claim to have constant impedance connectors! Its all very confusing, because a higher price does not necessarily equate to better performance, and most of the technical data on high-end cables is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, with little or no basis in fact. Unfortunately, superlatives do not render a superior picture. Formula for Superior Performance Heres what you need if you want the finest video that your equipment can deliver. You need video cables that are capable of maintaining a constant impedance. You dont want any bumps at the connectors, and you dont want the cable itself to change impedance when it bends. Even the finest cable changes impedance a little bit when it is bent sharply, so avoid doing so. Nice, smooth, consistent 75 Ohm impedance. Thats what your equipment wants, and thats what will deliver the best picture. You also want superior mechanical integrity. Nice, tight connections that will not degrade over time. You want to avoid dissimilar metals, which can lead to corrosion and degrade connections. To avoid dissimilar metals, try to stay away from soldered connections wherever you can, because solder almost guarantees that dissimilar metals will be in contact. Good solder work minimizes the problem, but there is also the challenge of making a solder connection without heat deforming the dielectric material of the cable. Any dimensional change in the dielectric will affect the impedance of the cable at that point. Of course you also want high quality cable. Flexibility is desirable because it avoids stress on your equipment and the interconnects. Try to avoid multiple materials in the conductors or shielding, because of the problems associated with dissimilar metals. Low loss is desirable, but dont sacrifice mechanical integrity in favor of small differences in loss specification! Cables with foamed dielectric materials generally have lower loss, but foam is not without its own inherent problems. Shielding is important, but dont be confused by exorbitant claims. Electrical shielding is not the same as waterproofing -- you dont need two, three, four, or more layers of shielding to get good electrical shielding, and all the extra layers make the cables stiff, and tend to make good terminations more difficult to install, and more prone to failure. Canare Cable These cables are made with Canares most popular cable, LV-61S. They are lightweight and extremely flexible. Considerably more flexible than the Monster cables we tested. This superior flexibility also ensures longer flex life. They have PVC jackets with a smooth, non-glare finish. They even stay flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cables really are made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 Ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest video cables available at any price. We prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. The CFB series cables have excellent high-frequency specifications, to be sure, but there is no practical advantage to using them for component video, and several disadvantages. This LV-61S cable is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. LV-61S has more than enough bandwidth for component video -- we have used this cable, with great success, in runs over 50 meters in length. If you really want CFB series cables, we have them here! Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around for over 50 years, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares new 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. See For Yourself! We have tested these Canare cables against Monster, and some other more esoteric cables. In our test setup, no other cable outperformed a Canare cable of a similar size. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD or laserdisc player, and take a look at the test patterns. Watch for the artifacts mentioned above that can creep in with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and look for the difference that constant impedance can make. We tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. Some of the cables that we tested had specs that looked better on paper than Canares, but in our real-world tests, Canare always prevailed. This picture shows a 2 meter set. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but feel free to select from any of the 11 color options listed below. The actual length of the cable offered for sale on this page is 2 meter (6.6 foot). This close-up will give you a better look at our RCA-type end preparations. This is our standard connector option.

This Canare LV-61S Precision Spec Your Own Cable offers a custom-configured, Canare precision cable, with 10 different cable colors, 11 different strain-relief, and three different connector options.* The cable is suitable for many kinds of video, audio, and RF applications. Use a single cable for SPDIF Digital audio applications, such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Alternately, a single cable also makes an ideal composite video cable, or specify F connectors for cable TV and satellite patch cables. Terminated with BNC connectors, it is ideal for test equipment. Buy a pair for analog audio interconnects, three for component video, five for RGBHV video, six for 5.1 analog audio, eight for 7.1 analog audio...the possibilities are almost endless. You may specify the color of the flexible silicone boots separately from the jacket color. The boots help to prevent sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. The cable can also be made with no boots - (required for lengths less than 0.5 meter), and some customers prefer the streamlined appearance, and shorter profile. The Cable With cable design, it is certainly true that there are many compromises to be made. That is why some cables may be good for audio, but not good for video. Likewise, cables that are good for video are often poor for audio. That is why it may be hard to understand how Canare LV-61S can be so good at so many things. Nonetheless, LV-61S has plenty of bandwidth for all kinds of video, including both composite and component video, right up to 1080p. We have customers using these cables for component video runs in the hundreds of feet with excellent results. Audio presents its own set of challenges, so it is somewhat surprising that a cable that works so well for video also excels with audio signals. We had not actually considered using this cable for audio until our founder visited with an engineer at one of the local television stations, and noticed that they were using this cable in most all of their patch panels - for both video and audio. More about audio later! While it is true that you might not want to use this cable for long, high-bandwidth RF runs, such as satellite down-leads, the unique connector implementation means that it often outperforms cables with better specs (on paper), when used for short RF runs. (for long RF runs, please consider these cables) This Canare cable is lightweight and extremely flexible. It has a PVC jacket with a smooth, non-glare finish. It is smooth and pleasing to the touch. It even stays flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cable really is made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest all-around coaxial cables available at any price. For patch cables and other relatively short runs, we prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. Compared to the CFB series cable, LV-61S is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around since the 1940s, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high-quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares innovative 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. Canare BNC Connectors The BNC-type connector is the best connector that is commonly available for applications of this type. In general, it is both mechanically and electrically superior to an RCA connector. It has a twist-lock mechanism to ensure that the connection is mechanically secure, and the electrical design of the connector does a good job of maintaining constant impedance at the connector. Canare takes this inherent superiority to the next level. For example, many BNC connectors have a characteristic impedance of only 50 Ohms, but Canare connectors are engineered to maintain a constant impedance of 75 Ohms. This make a lot of sense because virtually all A/V equipment is designed to work best with 75 Ohm cables. It follows that if you want the best performance your equipment can deliver, you will need cables and connectors that maintain this impedance. This electrical superiority is the result of superior mechanical design, high-quality materials and precision manufacturing. Canares BNC connectors are almost artful in their design...and they work very well indeed. In our experience, the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. Canare F Connectors The unique Canare F connector design features an electromechanically stable nickel-over-brass body, with an extra-wide torque nut and machined threads. Unlike virtually every other F connector, Canares design does not unitize the center conductor of the coaxial cable as the plugs center contact pin. Instead, the center pin is made from gold-plated brass. This innovative approach avoids problems that are often associated with typical F connectors, such as corrosion, misalignment, incorrect length, and poorly shaped tip of the center contact. The dedicated center pin design prevents equipment damage that can occur with lesser designs. For example, the instruction manual that comes with Jensen Transformers excellent VRD-1FF Cable TV Ground Isolator specifically warns that the warranty can be voided by damage resulting from using a center conductor that is misshapen, or too long. This kind of damage will never happen with a Canare F connector because it is always exactly the correct length and shape! The precision of the body design, combined with the dedicated center pin results in a precision connector. This precision results in a 75 Ohm impedance-matched connector that connects up smoothly and accurately, providing a consistently reliable connection and thus a very high level of performance. The solid brass handle shuts out static and EM noise. A satin-finished nickel plating provides long-lasting protection and beauty. A spring-type strain-relief prevents cable damage due to repeated bending at the cable entry point, so cables last up to three times longer than with plugs that do not have strain-reliefs. See For Yourself ! In some ways, its easier to see the difference that video cables can make, than it is to hear a difference with audio cables. We have tested these Canare cables in video applications against Monster, and some other more esoteric video cables. In our test setup, the Canare cables always produced a visibly superior picture. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD player, and take a look at the test patterns. Look for ghost images and ringing that are visible with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and see the difference that constant impedance can make. The difference ranges from visible to dramatic. We have tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. The Canare cables, without exception, always looked the best to us. Some of the cables that we tested had better specs for loss than the Canare cables, but we never actually saw any cable produce a better picture than Canare. Some of the same characteristics that ensure great video performance are also desirable for great audio. With analog audio, constant impedance helps to avoid non-linearity in your amplifiers, and the lack of reflected energy in the cable ensures maximum signal transfer. Muddiness and distortion are avoided. High quality precision cable protects you from audible hum and interference. Your sound will be clear and clean. Digital audio presents a different set of challenges, but the same rules apply. Constant impedance eliminates ringing, echo, and signal delays which may cause decoder errors. Extraneous noise is excluded, so your digital signal gets to the decoder intact. The end result is the same in either application -- great sound. *Be sure to include a note with your payment specifying the colors and terminations you prefer.

The cables are made with Canares high-quality, True 75 Ohm connectors, fitted with flexible color-coded silicone strain-relief boots. The boots enhance the appearance of the cables and avoid sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. Here is an upgrade for your system that will be hard to miss -- from the professional look and feel of the cables themselves, to the superior quality of the video that they provide. Perfect for DVD or HDTV hook-ups! If you are not sure which component cable to choose, please click here for a comparison of Canare component video cables. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but 11 different color options are available below. *Be sure to include a note with your payment to let us know which of the included cable color(s) you want. If you do not specify, we will use our standard configuration which is yellow cable with red, green and blue strain-relief boots. Why Component? In a word, simplicity. Component video hook-ups eliminate some encoding and decoding steps. This is likely to improve picture quality because encoding or decoding a color signal is not a very clean process. Invariably some information is lost, and undesirable artifacts such as chroma crawl, busy edges, loss of detail in colored areas, and cross-color rainbows are generated. Each pass through the process adds to the problem, so the fewer times a signal is encoded and decoded, the better. If your equipment supports component video connections, you will certainly want to take advantage of it. What Makes Canare So Great? You can tell, just by looking, that Canare cables and connectors are well made, and you can tell by reading the rave reviews that Canare cables are great performers! Canare is the choice of professionals and discriminating enthusiasts, alike. We have found that the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. You probably already know the prices for Monster, Tributaries, and some of the other more esoteric cables -- they can be very expensive. On the basis of price alone, its hard to beat Canare, and if you consider performance, its even harder. From reading Monsters website, we were not able to see that they even claim to have constant impedance connectors! Its all very confusing, because a higher price does not necessarily equate to better performance, and most of the technical data on high-end cables is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, with little or no basis in fact. Unfortunately, superlatives do not render a superior picture. Formula for Superior Performance Heres what you need if you want the finest video that your equipment can deliver. You need video cables that are capable of maintaining a constant impedance. You dont want any bumps at the connectors, and you dont want the cable itself to change impedance when it bends. Even the finest cable changes impedance a little bit when it is bent sharply, so avoid doing so. Nice, smooth, consistent 75 Ohm impedance. Thats what your equipment wants, and thats what will deliver the best picture. You also want superior mechanical integrity. Nice, tight connections that will not degrade over time. You want to avoid dissimilar metals, which can lead to corrosion and degrade connections. To avoid dissimilar metals, try to stay away from soldered connections wherever you can, because solder almost guarantees that dissimilar metals will be in contact. Good solder work minimizes the problem, but there is also the challenge of making a solder connection without heat deforming the dielectric material of the cable. Any dimensional change in the dielectric will affect the impedance of the cable at that point. Of course you also want high quality cable. Flexibility is desirable because it avoids stress on your equipment and the interconnects. Try to avoid multiple materials in the conductors or shielding, because of the problems associated with dissimilar metals. Low loss is desirable, but dont sacrifice mechanical integrity in favor of small differences in loss specification! Cables with foamed dielectric materials generally have lower loss, but foam is not without its own inherent problems. Shielding is important, but dont be confused by exorbitant claims. Electrical shielding is not the same as waterproofing -- you dont need two, three, four, or more layers of shielding to get good electrical shielding, and all the extra layers make the cables stiff, and tend to make good terminations more difficult to install, and more prone to failure. Canare Cable These cables are made with Canares most popular cable, LV-61S. They are lightweight and extremely flexible. Considerably more flexible than the Monster cables we tested. This superior flexibility also ensures longer flex life. They have PVC jackets with a smooth, non-glare finish. They even stay flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cables really are made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 Ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest video cables available at any price. We prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. The CFB series cables have excellent high-frequency specifications, to be sure, but there is no practical advantage to using them for component video, and several disadvantages. This LV-61S cable is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. LV-61S has more than enough bandwidth for component video -- we have used this cable, with great success, in runs over 50 meters in length. If you really want CFB series cables, we have them here! Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around for over 50 years, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares new 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. See For Yourself! We have tested these Canare cables against Monster, and some other more esoteric cables. In our test setup, no other cable outperformed a Canare cable of a similar size. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD or laserdisc player, and take a look at the test patterns. Watch for the artifacts mentioned above that can creep in with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and look for the difference that constant impedance can make. We tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. Some of the cables that we tested had specs that looked better on paper than Canares, but in our real-world tests, Canare always prevailed. This picture shows a 2 meter set. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but feel free to select from any of the 11 color options listed below. The actual length of the cable offered for sale on this page is 2 meter (6.6 foot). This close-up will give you a better look at our RCA-type end preparations. This is our standard connector option.

This Canare LV-61S Precision Spec Your Own Cable offers a custom-configured, Canare precision cable, with 10 different cable colors, 11 different strain-relief, and three different connector options.* The cable is suitable for many kinds of video, audio, and RF applications. Use a single cable for SPDIF Digital audio applications, such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Alternately, a single cable also makes an ideal composite video cable, or specify F connectors for cable TV and satellite patch cables. Terminated with BNC connectors, it is ideal for test equipment. Buy a pair for analog audio interconnects, three for component video, five for RGBHV video, six for 5.1 analog audio, eight for 7.1 analog audio...the possibilities are almost endless. You may specify the color of the flexible silicone boots separately from the jacket color. The boots help to prevent sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. The cable can also be made with no boots - (required for lengths less than 0.5 meter), and some customers prefer the streamlined appearance, and shorter profile. The Cable With cable design, it is certainly true that there are many compromises to be made. That is why some cables may be good for audio, but not good for video. Likewise, cables that are good for video are often poor for audio. That is why it may be hard to understand how Canare LV-61S can be so good at so many things. Nonetheless, LV-61S has plenty of bandwidth for all kinds of video, including both composite and component video, right up to 1080p. We have customers using these cables for component video runs in the hundreds of feet with excellent results. Audio presents its own set of challenges, so it is somewhat surprising that a cable that works so well for video also excels with audio signals. We had not actually considered using this cable for audio until our founder visited with an engineer at one of the local television stations, and noticed that they were using this cable in most all of their patch panels - for both video and audio. More about audio later! While it is true that you might not want to use this cable for long, high-bandwidth RF runs, such as satellite down-leads, the unique connector implementation means that it often outperforms cables with better specs (on paper), when used for short RF runs. (for long RF runs, please consider these cables) This Canare cable is lightweight and extremely flexible. It has a PVC jacket with a smooth, non-glare finish. It is smooth and pleasing to the touch. It even stays flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cable really is made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest all-around coaxial cables available at any price. For patch cables and other relatively short runs, we prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. Compared to the CFB series cable, LV-61S is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around since the 1940s, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high-quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares innovative 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. Canare BNC Connectors The BNC-type connector is the best connector that is commonly available for applications of this type. In general, it is both mechanically and electrically superior to an RCA connector. It has a twist-lock mechanism to ensure that the connection is mechanically secure, and the electrical design of the connector does a good job of maintaining constant impedance at the connector. Canare takes this inherent superiority to the next level. For example, many BNC connectors have a characteristic impedance of only 50 Ohms, but Canare connectors are engineered to maintain a constant impedance of 75 Ohms. This make a lot of sense because virtually all A/V equipment is designed to work best with 75 Ohm cables. It follows that if you want the best performance your equipment can deliver, you will need cables and connectors that maintain this impedance. This electrical superiority is the result of superior mechanical design, high-quality materials and precision manufacturing. Canares BNC connectors are almost artful in their design...and they work very well indeed. In our experience, the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. Canare F Connectors The unique Canare F connector design features an electromechanically stable nickel-over-brass body, with an extra-wide torque nut and machined threads. Unlike virtually every other F connector, Canares design does not unitize the center conductor of the coaxial cable as the plugs center contact pin. Instead, the center pin is made from gold-plated brass. This innovative approach avoids problems that are often associated with typical F connectors, such as corrosion, misalignment, incorrect length, and poorly shaped tip of the center contact. The dedicated center pin design prevents equipment damage that can occur with lesser designs. For example, the instruction manual that comes with Jensen Transformers excellent VRD-1FF Cable TV Ground Isolator specifically warns that the warranty can be voided by damage resulting from using a center conductor that is misshapen, or too long. This kind of damage will never happen with a Canare F connector because it is always exactly the correct length and shape! The precision of the body design, combined with the dedicated center pin results in a precision connector. This precision results in a 75 Ohm impedance-matched connector that connects up smoothly and accurately, providing a consistently reliable connection and thus a very high level of performance. The solid brass handle shuts out static and EM noise. A satin-finished nickel plating provides long-lasting protection and beauty. A spring-type strain-relief prevents cable damage due to repeated bending at the cable entry point, so cables last up to three times longer than with plugs that do not have strain-reliefs. See For Yourself ! In some ways, its easier to see the difference that video cables can make, than it is to hear a difference with audio cables. We have tested these Canare cables in video applications against Monster, and some other more esoteric video cables. In our test setup, the Canare cables always produced a visibly superior picture. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD player, and take a look at the test patterns. Look for ghost images and ringing that are visible with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and see the difference that constant impedance can make. The difference ranges from visible to dramatic. We have tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. The Canare cables, without exception, always looked the best to us. Some of the cables that we tested had better specs for loss than the Canare cables, but we never actually saw any cable produce a better picture than Canare. Some of the same characteristics that ensure great video performance are also desirable for great audio. With analog audio, constant impedance helps to avoid non-linearity in your amplifiers, and the lack of reflected energy in the cable ensures maximum signal transfer. Muddiness and distortion are avoided. High quality precision cable protects you from audible hum and interference. Your sound will be clear and clean. Digital audio presents a different set of challenges, but the same rules apply. Constant impedance eliminates ringing, echo, and signal delays which may cause decoder errors. Extraneous noise is excluded, so your digital signal gets to the decoder intact. The end result is the same in either application -- great sound. *Be sure to include a note with your payment specifying the colors and terminations you prefer.

The cables are made with Canares high-quality, True 75 Ohm connectors, fitted with flexible color-coded silicone strain-relief boots. The boots enhance the appearance of the cables and avoid sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. Here is an upgrade for your system that will be hard to miss -- from the professional look and feel of the cables themselves, to the superior quality of the video that they provide. Perfect for DVD or HDTV hook-ups! If you are not sure which component cable to choose, please click here for a comparison of Canare component video cables. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but 11 different color options are available below. *Be sure to include a note with your payment to let us know which of the included cable color(s) you want. If you do not specify, we will use our standard configuration which is yellow cable with red, green and blue strain-relief boots. Why Component? In a word, simplicity. Component video hook-ups eliminate some encoding and decoding steps. This is likely to improve picture quality because encoding or decoding a color signal is not a very clean process. Invariably some information is lost, and undesirable artifacts such as chroma crawl, busy edges, loss of detail in colored areas, and cross-color rainbows are generated. Each pass through the process adds to the problem, so the fewer times a signal is encoded and decoded, the better. If your equipment supports component video connections, you will certainly want to take advantage of it. What Makes Canare So Great? You can tell, just by looking, that Canare cables and connectors are well made, and you can tell by reading the rave reviews that Canare cables are great performers! Canare is the choice of professionals and discriminating enthusiasts, alike. We have found that the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. You probably already know the prices for Monster, Tributaries, and some of the other more esoteric cables -- they can be very expensive. On the basis of price alone, its hard to beat Canare, and if you consider performance, its even harder. From reading Monsters website, we were not able to see that they even claim to have constant impedance connectors! Its all very confusing, because a higher price does not necessarily equate to better performance, and most of the technical data on high-end cables is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, with little or no basis in fact. Unfortunately, superlatives do not render a superior picture. Formula for Superior Performance Heres what you need if you want the finest video that your equipment can deliver. You need video cables that are capable of maintaining a constant impedance. You dont want any bumps at the connectors, and you dont want the cable itself to change impedance when it bends. Even the finest cable changes impedance a little bit when it is bent sharply, so avoid doing so. Nice, smooth, consistent 75 Ohm impedance. Thats what your equipment wants, and thats what will deliver the best picture. You also want superior mechanical integrity. Nice, tight connections that will not degrade over time. You want to avoid dissimilar metals, which can lead to corrosion and degrade connections. To avoid dissimilar metals, try to stay away from soldered connections wherever you can, because solder almost guarantees that dissimilar metals will be in contact. Good solder work minimizes the problem, but there is also the challenge of making a solder connection without heat deforming the dielectric material of the cable. Any dimensional change in the dielectric will affect the impedance of the cable at that point. Of course you also want high quality cable. Flexibility is desirable because it avoids stress on your equipment and the interconnects. Try to avoid multiple materials in the conductors or shielding, because of the problems associated with dissimilar metals. Low loss is desirable, but dont sacrifice mechanical integrity in favor of small differences in loss specification! Cables with foamed dielectric materials generally have lower loss, but foam is not without its own inherent problems. Shielding is important, but dont be confused by exorbitant claims. Electrical shielding is not the same as waterproofing -- you dont need two, three, four, or more layers of shielding to get good electrical shielding, and all the extra layers make the cables stiff, and tend to make good terminations more difficult to install, and more prone to failure. Canare Cable These cables are made with Canares most popular cable, LV-61S. They are lightweight and extremely flexible. Considerably more flexible than the Monster cables we tested. This superior flexibility also ensures longer flex life. They have PVC jackets with a smooth, non-glare finish. They even stay flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cables really are made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 Ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest video cables available at any price. We prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. The CFB series cables have excellent high-frequency specifications, to be sure, but there is no practical advantage to using them for component video, and several disadvantages. This LV-61S cable is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. LV-61S has more than enough bandwidth for component video -- we have used this cable, with great success, in runs over 50 meters in length. If you really want CFB series cables, we have them here! Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around for over 50 years, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares new 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. See For Yourself! We have tested these Canare cables against Monster, and some other more esoteric cables. In our test setup, no other cable outperformed a Canare cable of a similar size. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD or laserdisc player, and take a look at the test patterns. Watch for the artifacts mentioned above that can creep in with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and look for the difference that constant impedance can make. We tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. Some of the cables that we tested had specs that looked better on paper than Canares, but in our real-world tests, Canare always prevailed. This picture shows a 2 meter set. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but feel free to select from any of the 11 color options listed below. The actual length of the cable offered for sale on this page is 2 meter (6.6 foot). This close-up will give you a better look at our RCA-type end preparations. This is our standard connector option.

This Canare LV-61S Precision Spec Your Own Cable offers a custom-configured, Canare precision cable, with 10 different cable colors, 11 different strain-relief, and three different connector options.* The cable is suitable for many kinds of video, audio, and RF applications. Use a single cable for SPDIF Digital audio applications, such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Alternately, a single cable also makes an ideal composite video cable, or specify F connectors for cable TV and satellite patch cables. Terminated with BNC connectors, it is ideal for test equipment. Buy a pair for analog audio interconnects, three for component video, five for RGBHV video, six for 5.1 analog audio, eight for 7.1 analog audio...the possibilities are almost endless. You may specify the color of the flexible silicone boots separately from the jacket color. The boots help to prevent sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. The cable can also be made with no boots - (required for lengths less than 0.5 meter), and some customers prefer the streamlined appearance, and shorter profile. The Cable With cable design, it is certainly true that there are many compromises to be made. That is why some cables may be good for audio, but not good for video. Likewise, cables that are good for video are often poor for audio. That is why it may be hard to understand how Canare LV-61S can be so good at so many things. Nonetheless, LV-61S has plenty of bandwidth for all kinds of video, including both composite and component video, right up to 1080p. We have customers using these cables for component video runs in the hundreds of feet with excellent results. Audio presents its own set of challenges, so it is somewhat surprising that a cable that works so well for video also excels with audio signals. We had not actually considered using this cable for audio until our founder visited with an engineer at one of the local television stations, and noticed that they were using this cable in most all of their patch panels - for both video and audio. More about audio later! While it is true that you might not want to use this cable for long, high-bandwidth RF runs, such as satellite down-leads, the unique connector implementation means that it often outperforms cables with better specs (on paper), when used for short RF runs. (for long RF runs, please consider these cables) This Canare cable is lightweight and extremely flexible. It has a PVC jacket with a smooth, non-glare finish. It is smooth and pleasing to the touch. It even stays flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cable really is made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest all-around coaxial cables available at any price. For patch cables and other relatively short runs, we prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. Compared to the CFB series cable, LV-61S is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around since the 1940s, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high-quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares innovative 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. Canare BNC Connectors The BNC-type connector is the best connector that is commonly available for applications of this type. In general, it is both mechanically and electrically superior to an RCA connector. It has a twist-lock mechanism to ensure that the connection is mechanically secure, and the electrical design of the connector does a good job of maintaining constant impedance at the connector. Canare takes this inherent superiority to the next level. For example, many BNC connectors have a characteristic impedance of only 50 Ohms, but Canare connectors are engineered to maintain a constant impedance of 75 Ohms. This make a lot of sense because virtually all A/V equipment is designed to work best with 75 Ohm cables. It follows that if you want the best performance your equipment can deliver, you will need cables and connectors that maintain this impedance. This electrical superiority is the result of superior mechanical design, high-quality materials and precision manufacturing. Canares BNC connectors are almost artful in their design...and they work very well indeed. In our experience, the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. Canare F Connectors The unique Canare F connector design features an electromechanically stable nickel-over-brass body, with an extra-wide torque nut and machined threads. Unlike virtually every other F connector, Canares design does not unitize the center conductor of the coaxial cable as the plugs center contact pin. Instead, the center pin is made from gold-plated brass. This innovative approach avoids problems that are often associated with typical F connectors, such as corrosion, misalignment, incorrect length, and poorly shaped tip of the center contact. The dedicated center pin design prevents equipment damage that can occur with lesser designs. For example, the instruction manual that comes with Jensen Transformers excellent VRD-1FF Cable TV Ground Isolator specifically warns that the warranty can be voided by damage resulting from using a center conductor that is misshapen, or too long. This kind of damage will never happen with a Canare F connector because it is always exactly the correct length and shape! The precision of the body design, combined with the dedicated center pin results in a precision connector. This precision results in a 75 Ohm impedance-matched connector that connects up smoothly and accurately, providing a consistently reliable connection and thus a very high level of performance. The solid brass handle shuts out static and EM noise. A satin-finished nickel plating provides long-lasting protection and beauty. A spring-type strain-relief prevents cable damage due to repeated bending at the cable entry point, so cables last up to three times longer than with plugs that do not have strain-reliefs. See For Yourself ! In some ways, its easier to see the difference that video cables can make, than it is to hear a difference with audio cables. We have tested these Canare cables in video applications against Monster, and some other more esoteric video cables. In our test setup, the Canare cables always produced a visibly superior picture. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD player, and take a look at the test patterns. Look for ghost images and ringing that are visible with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and see the difference that constant impedance can make. The difference ranges from visible to dramatic. We have tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. The Canare cables, without exception, always looked the best to us. Some of the cables that we tested had better specs for loss than the Canare cables, but we never actually saw any cable produce a better picture than Canare. Some of the same characteristics that ensure great video performance are also desirable for great audio. With analog audio, constant impedance helps to avoid non-linearity in your amplifiers, and the lack of reflected energy in the cable ensures maximum signal transfer. Muddiness and distortion are avoided. High quality precision cable protects you from audible hum and interference. Your sound will be clear and clean. Digital audio presents a different set of challenges, but the same rules apply. Constant impedance eliminates ringing, echo, and signal delays which may cause decoder errors. Extraneous noise is excluded, so your digital signal gets to the decoder intact. The end result is the same in either application -- great sound. *Be sure to include a note with your payment specifying the colors and terminations you prefer.

The cables are made with Canares high-quality, True 75 Ohm connectors, fitted with flexible color-coded silicone strain-relief boots. The boots enhance the appearance of the cables and avoid sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. Here is an upgrade for your system that will be hard to miss -- from the professional look and feel of the cables themselves, to the superior quality of the video that they provide. Perfect for DVD or HDTV hook-ups! If you are not sure which component cable to choose, please click here for a comparison of Canare component video cables. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but 11 different color options are available below. *Be sure to include a note with your payment to let us know which of the included cable color(s) you want. If you do not specify, we will use our standard configuration which is yellow cable with red, green and blue strain-relief boots. Why Component? In a word, simplicity. Component video hook-ups eliminate some encoding and decoding steps. This is likely to improve picture quality because encoding or decoding a color signal is not a very clean process. Invariably some information is lost, and undesirable artifacts such as chroma crawl, busy edges, loss of detail in colored areas, and cross-color rainbows are generated. Each pass through the process adds to the problem, so the fewer times a signal is encoded and decoded, the better. If your equipment supports component video connections, you will certainly want to take advantage of it. What Makes Canare So Great? You can tell, just by looking, that Canare cables and connectors are well made, and you can tell by reading the rave reviews that Canare cables are great performers! Canare is the choice of professionals and discriminating enthusiasts, alike. We have found that the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. You probably already know the prices for Monster, Tributaries, and some of the other more esoteric cables -- they can be very expensive. On the basis of price alone, its hard to beat Canare, and if you consider performance, its even harder. From reading Monsters website, we were not able to see that they even claim to have constant impedance connectors! Its all very confusing, because a higher price does not necessarily equate to better performance, and most of the technical data on high-end cables is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, with little or no basis in fact. Unfortunately, superlatives do not render a superior picture. Formula for Superior Performance Heres what you need if you want the finest video that your equipment can deliver. You need video cables that are capable of maintaining a constant impedance. You dont want any bumps at the connectors, and you dont want the cable itself to change impedance when it bends. Even the finest cable changes impedance a little bit when it is bent sharply, so avoid doing so. Nice, smooth, consistent 75 Ohm impedance. Thats what your equipment wants, and thats what will deliver the best picture. You also want superior mechanical integrity. Nice, tight connections that will not degrade over time. You want to avoid dissimilar metals, which can lead to corrosion and degrade connections. To avoid dissimilar metals, try to stay away from soldered connections wherever you can, because solder almost guarantees that dissimilar metals will be in contact. Good solder work minimizes the problem, but there is also the challenge of making a solder connection without heat deforming the dielectric material of the cable. Any dimensional change in the dielectric will affect the impedance of the cable at that point. Of course you also want high quality cable. Flexibility is desirable because it avoids stress on your equipment and the interconnects. Try to avoid multiple materials in the conductors or shielding, because of the problems associated with dissimilar metals. Low loss is desirable, but dont sacrifice mechanical integrity in favor of small differences in loss specification! Cables with foamed dielectric materials generally have lower loss, but foam is not without its own inherent problems. Shielding is important, but dont be confused by exorbitant claims. Electrical shielding is not the same as waterproofing -- you dont need two, three, four, or more layers of shielding to get good electrical shielding, and all the extra layers make the cables stiff, and tend to make good terminations more difficult to install, and more prone to failure. Canare Cable These cables are made with Canares most popular cable, LV-61S. They are lightweight and extremely flexible. Considerably more flexible than the Monster cables we tested. This superior flexibility also ensures longer flex life. They have PVC jackets with a smooth, non-glare finish. They even stay flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cables really are made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 Ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest video cables available at any price. We prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. The CFB series cables have excellent high-frequency specifications, to be sure, but there is no practical advantage to using them for component video, and several disadvantages. This LV-61S cable is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. LV-61S has more than enough bandwidth for component video -- we have used this cable, with great success, in runs over 50 meters in length. If you really want CFB series cables, we have them here! Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around for over 50 years, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares new 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. See For Yourself! We have tested these Canare cables against Monster, and some other more esoteric cables. In our test setup, no other cable outperformed a Canare cable of a similar size. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD or laserdisc player, and take a look at the test patterns. Watch for the artifacts mentioned above that can creep in with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and look for the difference that constant impedance can make. We tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. Some of the cables that we tested had specs that looked better on paper than Canares, but in our real-world tests, Canare always prevailed. This picture shows a 2 meter set. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but feel free to select from any of the 11 color options listed below. The actual length of the cable offered for sale on this page is 2 meter (6.6 foot). This close-up will give you a better look at our RCA-type end preparations. This is our standard connector option.

This Canare LV-61S Precision Spec Your Own Cable offers a custom-configured, Canare precision cable, with 10 different cable colors, 11 different strain-relief, and three different connector options.* The cable is suitable for many kinds of video, audio, and RF applications. Use a single cable for SPDIF Digital audio applications, such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Alternately, a single cable also makes an ideal composite video cable, or specify F connectors for cable TV and satellite patch cables. Terminated with BNC connectors, it is ideal for test equipment. Buy a pair for analog audio interconnects, three for component video, five for RGBHV video, six for 5.1 analog audio, eight for 7.1 analog audio...the possibilities are almost endless. You may specify the color of the flexible silicone boots separately from the jacket color. The boots help to prevent sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. The cable can also be made with no boots - (required for lengths less than 0.5 meter), and some customers prefer the streamlined appearance, and shorter profile. The Cable With cable design, it is certainly true that there are many compromises to be made. That is why some cables may be good for audio, but not good for video. Likewise, cables that are good for video are often poor for audio. That is why it may be hard to understand how Canare LV-61S can be so good at so many things. Nonetheless, LV-61S has plenty of bandwidth for all kinds of video, including both composite and component video, right up to 1080p. We have customers using these cables for component video runs in the hundreds of feet with excellent results. Audio presents its own set of challenges, so it is somewhat surprising that a cable that works so well for video also excels with audio signals. We had not actually considered using this cable for audio until our founder visited with an engineer at one of the local television stations, and noticed that they were using this cable in most all of their patch panels - for both video and audio. More about audio later! While it is true that you might not want to use this cable for long, high-bandwidth RF runs, such as satellite down-leads, the unique connector implementation means that it often outperforms cables with better specs (on paper), when used for short RF runs. (for long RF runs, please consider these cables) This Canare cable is lightweight and extremely flexible. It has a PVC jacket with a smooth, non-glare finish. It is smooth and pleasing to the touch. It even stays flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cable really is made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest all-around coaxial cables available at any price. For patch cables and other relatively short runs, we prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. Compared to the CFB series cable, LV-61S is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around since the 1940s, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high-quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares innovative 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. Canare BNC Connectors The BNC-type connector is the best connector that is commonly available for applications of this type. In general, it is both mechanically and electrically superior to an RCA connector. It has a twist-lock mechanism to ensure that the connection is mechanically secure, and the electrical design of the connector does a good job of maintaining constant impedance at the connector. Canare takes this inherent superiority to the next level. For example, many BNC connectors have a characteristic impedance of only 50 Ohms, but Canare connectors are engineered to maintain a constant impedance of 75 Ohms. This make a lot of sense because virtually all A/V equipment is designed to work best with 75 Ohm cables. It follows that if you want the best performance your equipment can deliver, you will need cables and connectors that maintain this impedance. This electrical superiority is the result of superior mechanical design, high-quality materials and precision manufacturing. Canares BNC connectors are almost artful in their design...and they work very well indeed. In our experience, the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. Canare F Connectors The unique Canare F connector design features an electromechanically stable nickel-over-brass body, with an extra-wide torque nut and machined threads. Unlike virtually every other F connector, Canares design does not unitize the center conductor of the coaxial cable as the plugs center contact pin. Instead, the center pin is made from gold-plated brass. This innovative approach avoids problems that are often associated with typical F connectors, such as corrosion, misalignment, incorrect length, and poorly shaped tip of the center contact. The dedicated center pin design prevents equipment damage that can occur with lesser designs. For example, the instruction manual that comes with Jensen Transformers excellent VRD-1FF Cable TV Ground Isolator specifically warns that the warranty can be voided by damage resulting from using a center conductor that is misshapen, or too long. This kind of damage will never happen with a Canare F connector because it is always exactly the correct length and shape! The precision of the body design, combined with the dedicated center pin results in a precision connector. This precision results in a 75 Ohm impedance-matched connector that connects up smoothly and accurately, providing a consistently reliable connection and thus a very high level of performance. The solid brass handle shuts out static and EM noise. A satin-finished nickel plating provides long-lasting protection and beauty. A spring-type strain-relief prevents cable damage due to repeated bending at the cable entry point, so cables last up to three times longer than with plugs that do not have strain-reliefs. See For Yourself ! In some ways, its easier to see the difference that video cables can make, than it is to hear a difference with audio cables. We have tested these Canare cables in video applications against Monster, and some other more esoteric video cables. In our test setup, the Canare cables always produced a visibly superior picture. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD player, and take a look at the test patterns. Look for ghost images and ringing that are visible with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and see the difference that constant impedance can make. The difference ranges from visible to dramatic. We have tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. The Canare cables, without exception, always looked the best to us. Some of the cables that we tested had better specs for loss than the Canare cables, but we never actually saw any cable produce a better picture than Canare. Some of the same characteristics that ensure great video performance are also desirable for great audio. With analog audio, constant impedance helps to avoid non-linearity in your amplifiers, and the lack of reflected energy in the cable ensures maximum signal transfer. Muddiness and distortion are avoided. High quality precision cable protects you from audible hum and interference. Your sound will be clear and clean. Digital audio presents a different set of challenges, but the same rules apply. Constant impedance eliminates ringing, echo, and signal delays which may cause decoder errors. Extraneous noise is excluded, so your digital signal gets to the decoder intact. The end result is the same in either application -- great sound. *Be sure to include a note with your payment specifying the colors and terminations you prefer.

The cables are made with Canares high-quality, True 75 Ohm connectors, fitted with flexible color-coded silicone strain-relief boots. The boots enhance the appearance of the cables and avoid sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. Here is an upgrade for your system that will be hard to miss -- from the professional look and feel of the cables themselves, to the superior quality of the video that they provide. Perfect for DVD or HDTV hook-ups! If you are not sure which component cable to choose, please click here for a comparison of Canare component video cables. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but 11 different color options are available below. *Be sure to include a note with your payment to let us know which of the included cable color(s) you want. If you do not specify, we will use our standard configuration which is yellow cable with red, green and blue strain-relief boots. Why Component? In a word, simplicity. Component video hook-ups eliminate some encoding and decoding steps. This is likely to improve picture quality because encoding or decoding a color signal is not a very clean process. Invariably some information is lost, and undesirable artifacts such as chroma crawl, busy edges, loss of detail in colored areas, and cross-color rainbows are generated. Each pass through the process adds to the problem, so the fewer times a signal is encoded and decoded, the better. If your equipment supports component video connections, you will certainly want to take advantage of it. What Makes Canare So Great? You can tell, just by looking, that Canare cables and connectors are well made, and you can tell by reading the rave reviews that Canare cables are great performers! Canare is the choice of professionals and discriminating enthusiasts, alike. We have found that the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. You probably already know the prices for Monster, Tributaries, and some of the other more esoteric cables -- they can be very expensive. On the basis of price alone, its hard to beat Canare, and if you consider performance, its even harder. From reading Monsters website, we were not able to see that they even claim to have constant impedance connectors! Its all very confusing, because a higher price does not necessarily equate to better performance, and most of the technical data on high-end cables is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, with little or no basis in fact. Unfortunately, superlatives do not render a superior picture. Formula for Superior Performance Heres what you need if you want the finest video that your equipment can deliver. You need video cables that are capable of maintaining a constant impedance. You dont want any bumps at the connectors, and you dont want the cable itself to change impedance when it bends. Even the finest cable changes impedance a little bit when it is bent sharply, so avoid doing so. Nice, smooth, consistent 75 Ohm impedance. Thats what your equipment wants, and thats what will deliver the best picture. You also want superior mechanical integrity. Nice, tight connections that will not degrade over time. You want to avoid dissimilar metals, which can lead to corrosion and degrade connections. To avoid dissimilar metals, try to stay away from soldered connections wherever you can, because solder almost guarantees that dissimilar metals will be in contact. Good solder work minimizes the problem, but there is also the challenge of making a solder connection without heat deforming the dielectric material of the cable. Any dimensional change in the dielectric will affect the impedance of the cable at that point. Of course you also want high quality cable. Flexibility is desirable because it avoids stress on your equipment and the interconnects. Try to avoid multiple materials in the conductors or shielding, because of the problems associated with dissimilar metals. Low loss is desirable, but dont sacrifice mechanical integrity in favor of small differences in loss specification! Cables with foamed dielectric materials generally have lower loss, but foam is not without its own inherent problems. Shielding is important, but dont be confused by exorbitant claims. Electrical shielding is not the same as waterproofing -- you dont need two, three, four, or more layers of shielding to get good electrical shielding, and all the extra layers make the cables stiff, and tend to make good terminations more difficult to install, and more prone to failure. Canare Cable These cables are made with Canares most popular cable, LV-61S. They are lightweight and extremely flexible. Considerably more flexible than the Monster cables we tested. This superior flexibility also ensures longer flex life. They have PVC jackets with a smooth, non-glare finish. They even stay flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cables really are made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 Ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest video cables available at any price. We prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. The CFB series cables have excellent high-frequency specifications, to be sure, but there is no practical advantage to using them for component video, and several disadvantages. This LV-61S cable is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. LV-61S has more than enough bandwidth for component video -- we have used this cable, with great success, in runs over 50 meters in length. If you really want CFB series cables, we have them here! Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around for over 50 years, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares new 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. See For Yourself! We have tested these Canare cables against Monster, and some other more esoteric cables. In our test setup, no other cable outperformed a Canare cable of a similar size. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD or laserdisc player, and take a look at the test patterns. Watch for the artifacts mentioned above that can creep in with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and look for the difference that constant impedance can make. We tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. Some of the cables that we tested had specs that looked better on paper than Canares, but in our real-world tests, Canare always prevailed. This picture shows a 2 meter set. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but feel free to select from any of the 11 color options listed below. The actual length of the cable offered for sale on this page is 2 meter (6.6 foot).

This Canare LV-61S Precision Spec Your Own Cable offers a custom-configured, Canare precision cable, with 10 different cable colors, 11 different strain-relief, and three different connector options.* The cable is suitable for many kinds of video, audio, and RF applications. Use a single cable for SPDIF Digital audio applications, such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Alternately, a single cable also makes an ideal composite video cable, or specify F connectors for cable TV and satellite patch cables. Terminated with BNC connectors, it is ideal for test equipment. Buy a pair for analog audio interconnects, three for component video, five for RGBHV video, six for 5.1 analog audio, eight for 7.1 analog audio...the possibilities are almost endless. You may specify the color of the flexible silicone boots separately from the jacket color. The boots help to prevent sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. The cable can also be made with no boots - (required for lengths less than 0.5 meter), and some customers prefer the streamlined appearance, and shorter profile. The Cable With cable design, it is certainly true that there are many compromises to be made. That is why some cables may be good for audio, but not good for video. Likewise, cables that are good for video are often poor for audio. That is why it may be hard to understand how Canare LV-61S can be so good at so many things. Nonetheless, LV-61S has plenty of bandwidth for all kinds of video, including both composite and component video, right up to 1080p. We have customers using these cables for component video runs in the hundreds of feet with excellent results. Audio presents its own set of challenges, so it is somewhat surprising that a cable that works so well for video also excels with audio signals. We had not actually considered using this cable for audio until our founder visited with an engineer at one of the local television stations, and noticed that they were using this cable in most all of their patch panels - for both video and audio. More about audio later! While it is true that you might not want to use this cable for long, high-bandwidth RF runs, such as satellite down-leads, the unique connector implementation means that it often outperforms cables with better specs (on paper), when used for short RF runs. (for long RF runs, please consider these cables) This Canare cable is lightweight and extremely flexible. It has a PVC jacket with a smooth, non-glare finish. It is smooth and pleasing to the touch. It even stays flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cable really is made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest all-around coaxial cables available at any price. For patch cables and other relatively short runs, we prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. Compared to the CFB series cable, LV-61S is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around since the 1940s, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high-quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares innovative 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. Canare BNC Connectors The BNC-type connector is the best connector that is commonly available for applications of this type. In general, it is both mechanically and electrically superior to an RCA connector. It has a twist-lock mechanism to ensure that the connection is mechanically secure, and the electrical design of the connector does a good job of maintaining constant impedance at the connector. Canare takes this inherent superiority to the next level. For example, many BNC connectors have a characteristic impedance of only 50 Ohms, but Canare connectors are engineered to maintain a constant impedance of 75 Ohms. This make a lot of sense because virtually all A/V equipment is designed to work best with 75 Ohm cables. It follows that if you want the best performance your equipment can deliver, you will need cables and connectors that maintain this impedance. This electrical superiority is the result of superior mechanical design, high-quality materials and precision manufacturing. Canares BNC connectors are almost artful in their design...and they work very well indeed. In our experience, the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. Canare F Connectors The unique Canare F connector design features an electromechanically stable nickel-over-brass body, with an extra-wide torque nut and machined threads. Unlike virtually every other F connector, Canares design does not unitize the center conductor of the coaxial cable as the plugs center contact pin. Instead, the center pin is made from gold-plated brass. This innovative approach avoids problems that are often associated with typical F connectors, such as corrosion, misalignment, incorrect length, and poorly shaped tip of the center contact. The dedicated center pin design prevents equipment damage that can occur with lesser designs. For example, the instruction manual that comes with Jensen Transformers excellent VRD-1FF Cable TV Ground Isolator specifically warns that the warranty can be voided by damage resulting from using a center conductor that is misshapen, or too long. This kind of damage will never happen with a Canare F connector because it is always exactly the correct length and shape! The precision of the body design, combined with the dedicated center pin results in a precision connector. This precision results in a 75 Ohm impedance-matched connector that connects up smoothly and accurately, providing a consistently reliable connection and thus a very high level of performance. The solid brass handle shuts out static and EM noise. A satin-finished nickel plating provides long-lasting protection and beauty. A spring-type strain-relief prevents cable damage due to repeated bending at the cable entry point, so cables last up to three times longer than with plugs that do not have strain-reliefs. See For Yourself ! In some ways, its easier to see the difference that video cables can make, than it is to hear a difference with audio cables. We have tested these Canare cables in video applications against Monster, and some other more esoteric video cables. In our test setup, the Canare cables always produced a visibly superior picture. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD player, and take a look at the test patterns. Look for ghost images and ringing that are visible with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and see the difference that constant impedance can make. The difference ranges from visible to dramatic. We have tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. The Canare cables, without exception, always looked the best to us. Some of the cables that we tested had better specs for loss than the Canare cables, but we never actually saw any cable produce a better picture than Canare. Some of the same characteristics that ensure great video performance are also desirable for great audio. With analog audio, constant impedance helps to avoid non-linearity in your amplifiers, and the lack of reflected energy in the cable ensures maximum signal transfer. Muddiness and distortion are avoided. High quality precision cable protects you from audible hum and interference. Your sound will be clear and clean. Digital audio presents a different set of challenges, but the same rules apply. Constant impedance eliminates ringing, echo, and signal delays which may cause decoder errors. Extraneous noise is excluded, so your digital signal gets to the decoder intact. The end result is the same in either application -- great sound. *Be sure to include a note with your payment specifying the colors and terminations you prefer.

The cables are made with Canares high-quality, True 75 Ohm connectors, fitted with flexible color-coded silicone strain-relief boots. The boots enhance the appearance of the cables and avoid sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. Here is an upgrade for your system that will be hard to miss -- from the professional look and feel of the cables themselves, to the superior quality of the video that they provide. Perfect for DVD or HDTV hook-ups! If you are not sure which component cable to choose, please click here for a comparison of Canare component video cables. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but 11 different color options are available below. *Be sure to include a note with your payment to let us know which of the included cable color(s) you want. If you do not specify, we will use our standard configuration which is yellow cable with red, green and blue strain-relief boots. Why Component? In a word, simplicity. Component video hook-ups eliminate some encoding and decoding steps. This is likely to improve picture quality because encoding or decoding a color signal is not a very clean process. Invariably some information is lost, and undesirable artifacts such as chroma crawl, busy edges, loss of detail in colored areas, and cross-color rainbows are generated. Each pass through the process adds to the problem, so the fewer times a signal is encoded and decoded, the better. If your equipment supports component video connections, you will certainly want to take advantage of it. What Makes Canare So Great? You can tell, just by looking, that Canare cables and connectors are well made, and you can tell by reading the rave reviews that Canare cables are great performers! Canare is the choice of professionals and discriminating enthusiasts, alike. We have found that the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. You probably already know the prices for Monster, Tributaries, and some of the other more esoteric cables -- they can be very expensive. On the basis of price alone, its hard to beat Canare, and if you consider performance, its even harder. From reading Monsters website, we were not able to see that they even claim to have constant impedance connectors! Its all very confusing, because a higher price does not necessarily equate to better performance, and most of the technical data on high-end cables is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, with little or no basis in fact. Unfortunately, superlatives do not render a superior picture. Formula for Superior Performance Heres what you need if you want the finest video that your equipment can deliver. You need video cables that are capable of maintaining a constant impedance. You dont want any bumps at the connectors, and you dont want the cable itself to change impedance when it bends. Even the finest cable changes impedance a little bit when it is bent sharply, so avoid doing so. Nice, smooth, consistent 75 Ohm impedance. Thats what your equipment wants, and thats what will deliver the best picture. You also want superior mechanical integrity. Nice, tight connections that will not degrade over time. You want to avoid dissimilar metals, which can lead to corrosion and degrade connections. To avoid dissimilar metals, try to stay away from soldered connections wherever you can, because solder almost guarantees that dissimilar metals will be in contact. Good solder work minimizes the problem, but there is also the challenge of making a solder connection without heat deforming the dielectric material of the cable. Any dimensional change in the dielectric will affect the impedance of the cable at that point. Of course you also want high quality cable. Flexibility is desirable because it avoids stress on your equipment and the interconnects. Try to avoid multiple materials in the conductors or shielding, because of the problems associated with dissimilar metals. Low loss is desirable, but dont sacrifice mechanical integrity in favor of small differences in loss specification! Cables with foamed dielectric materials generally have lower loss, but foam is not without its own inherent problems. Shielding is important, but dont be confused by exorbitant claims. Electrical shielding is not the same as waterproofing -- you dont need two, three, four, or more layers of shielding to get good electrical shielding, and all the extra layers make the cables stiff, and tend to make good terminations more difficult to install, and more prone to failure. Canare Cable These cables are made with Canares most popular cable, LV-61S. They are lightweight and extremely flexible. Considerably more flexible than the Monster cables we tested. This superior flexibility also ensures longer flex life. They have PVC jackets with a smooth, non-glare finish. They even stay flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cables really are made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 Ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest video cables available at any price. We prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. The CFB series cables have excellent high-frequency specifications, to be sure, but there is no practical advantage to using them for component video, and several disadvantages. This LV-61S cable is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. LV-61S has more than enough bandwidth for component video -- we have used this cable, with great success, in runs over 50 meters in length. If you really want CFB series cables, we have them here! Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around for over 50 years, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares new 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. See For Yourself! We have tested these Canare cables against Monster, and some other more esoteric cables. In our test setup, no other cable outperformed a Canare cable of a similar size. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD or laserdisc player, and take a look at the test patterns. Watch for the artifacts mentioned above that can creep in with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and look for the difference that constant impedance can make. We tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. Some of the cables that we tested had specs that looked better on paper than Canares, but in our real-world tests, Canare always prevailed. This picture shows a 2 meter set. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but feel free to select from any of the 11 color options listed below. The actual length of the cable offered for sale on this page is 2 meter (6.6 foot). This close-up will give you a better look at our RCA-type end preparations. This is our standard connector option.

This Canare LV-61S Precision Spec Your Own Cable offers a custom-configured, Canare precision cable, with 10 different cable colors, 11 different strain-relief, and three different connector options.* The cable is suitable for many kinds of video, audio, and RF applications. Use a single cable for SPDIF Digital audio applications, such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Alternately, a single cable also makes an ideal composite video cable, or specify F connectors for cable TV and satellite patch cables. Terminated with BNC connectors, it is ideal for test equipment. Buy a pair for analog audio interconnects, three for component video, five for RGBHV video, six for 5.1 analog audio, eight for 7.1 analog audio...the possibilities are almost endless. You may specify the color of the flexible silicone boots separately from the jacket color. The boots help to prevent sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. The cable can also be made with no boots - (required for lengths less than 0.5 meter), and some customers prefer the streamlined appearance, and shorter profile. The Cable With cable design, it is certainly true that there are many compromises to be made. That is why some cables may be good for audio, but not good for video. Likewise, cables that are good for video are often poor for audio. That is why it may be hard to understand how Canare LV-61S can be so good at so many things. Nonetheless, LV-61S has plenty of bandwidth for all kinds of video, including both composite and component video, right up to 1080p. We have customers using these cables for component video runs in the hundreds of feet with excellent results. Audio presents its own set of challenges, so it is somewhat surprising that a cable that works so well for video also excels with audio signals. We had not actually considered using this cable for audio until our founder visited with an engineer at one of the local television stations, and noticed that they were using this cable in most all of their patch panels - for both video and audio. More about audio later! While it is true that you might not want to use this cable for long, high-bandwidth RF runs, such as satellite down-leads, the unique connector implementation means that it often outperforms cables with better specs (on paper), when used for short RF runs. (for long RF runs, please consider these cables) This Canare cable is lightweight and extremely flexible. It has a PVC jacket with a smooth, non-glare finish. It is smooth and pleasing to the touch. It even stays flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cable really is made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest all-around coaxial cables available at any price. For patch cables and other relatively short runs, we prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. Compared to the CFB series cable, LV-61S is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around since the 1940s, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high-quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares innovative 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. Canare BNC Connectors The BNC-type connector is the best connector that is commonly available for applications of this type. In general, it is both mechanically and electrically superior to an RCA connector. It has a twist-lock mechanism to ensure that the connection is mechanically secure, and the electrical design of the connector does a good job of maintaining constant impedance at the connector. Canare takes this inherent superiority to the next level. For example, many BNC connectors have a characteristic impedance of only 50 Ohms, but Canare connectors are engineered to maintain a constant impedance of 75 Ohms. This make a lot of sense because virtually all A/V equipment is designed to work best with 75 Ohm cables. It follows that if you want the best performance your equipment can deliver, you will need cables and connectors that maintain this impedance. This electrical superiority is the result of superior mechanical design, high-quality materials and precision manufacturing. Canares BNC connectors are almost artful in their design...and they work very well indeed. In our experience, the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. Canare F Connectors The unique Canare F connector design features an electromechanically stable nickel-over-brass body, with an extra-wide torque nut and machined threads. Unlike virtually every other F connector, Canares design does not unitize the center conductor of the coaxial cable as the plugs center contact pin. Instead, the center pin is made from gold-plated brass. This innovative approach avoids problems that are often associated with typical F connectors, such as corrosion, misalignment, incorrect length, and poorly shaped tip of the center contact. The dedicated center pin design prevents equipment damage that can occur with lesser designs. For example, the instruction manual that comes with Jensen Transformers excellent VRD-1FF Cable TV Ground Isolator specifically warns that the warranty can be voided by damage resulting from using a center conductor that is misshapen, or too long. This kind of damage will never happen with a Canare F connector because it is always exactly the correct length and shape! The precision of the body design, combined with the dedicated center pin results in a precision connector. This precision results in a 75 Ohm impedance-matched connector that connects up smoothly and accurately, providing a consistently reliable connection and thus a very high level of performance. The solid brass handle shuts out static and EM noise. A satin-finished nickel plating provides long-lasting protection and beauty. A spring-type strain-relief prevents cable damage due to repeated bending at the cable entry point, so cables last up to three times longer than with plugs that do not have strain-reliefs. See For Yourself ! In some ways, its easier to see the difference that video cables can make, than it is to hear a difference with audio cables. We have tested these Canare cables in video applications against Monster, and some other more esoteric video cables. In our test setup, the Canare cables always produced a visibly superior picture. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD player, and take a look at the test patterns. Look for ghost images and ringing that are visible with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and see the difference that constant impedance can make. The difference ranges from visible to dramatic. We have tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. The Canare cables, without exception, always looked the best to us. Some of the cables that we tested had better specs for loss than the Canare cables, but we never actually saw any cable produce a better picture than Canare. Some of the same characteristics that ensure great video performance are also desirable for great audio. With analog audio, constant impedance helps to avoid non-linearity in your amplifiers, and the lack of reflected energy in the cable ensures maximum signal transfer. Muddiness and distortion are avoided. High quality precision cable protects you from audible hum and interference. Your sound will be clear and clean. Digital audio presents a different set of challenges, but the same rules apply. Constant impedance eliminates ringing, echo, and signal delays which may cause decoder errors. Extraneous noise is excluded, so your digital signal gets to the decoder intact. The end result is the same in either application -- great sound. *Be sure to include a note with your payment specifying the colors and terminations you prefer.

This Canare LV-61S Precision Spec Your Own Cable offers a custom-configured, Canare precision cable, with 10 different cable colors, 11 different strain-relief, and three different connector options.* The cable is suitable for many kinds of video, audio, and RF applications. Use a single cable for SPDIF Digital audio applications, such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Alternately, a single cable also makes an ideal composite video cable, or specify F connectors for cable TV and satellite patch cables. Terminated with BNC connectors, it is ideal for test equipment. Buy a pair for analog audio interconnects, three for component video, five for RGBHV video, six for 5.1 analog audio, eight for 7.1 analog audio...the possibilities are almost endless. You may specify the color of the flexible silicone boots separately from the jacket color. The boots help to prevent sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. The cable can also be made with no boots - (required for lengths less than 0.5 meter), and some customers prefer the streamlined appearance, and shorter profile. The Cable With cable design, it is certainly true that there are many compromises to be made. That is why some cables may be good for audio, but not good for video. Likewise, cables that are good for video are often poor for audio. That is why it may be hard to understand how Canare LV-61S can be so good at so many things. Nonetheless, LV-61S has plenty of bandwidth for all kinds of video, including both composite and component video, right up to 1080p. We have customers using these cables for component video runs in the hundreds of feet with excellent results. Audio presents its own set of challenges, so it is somewhat surprising that a cable that works so well for video also excels with audio signals. We had not actually considered using this cable for audio until our founder visited with an engineer at one of the local television stations, and noticed that they were using this cable in most all of their patch panels - for both video and audio. More about audio later! While it is true that you might not want to use this cable for long, high-bandwidth RF runs, such as satellite down-leads, the unique connector implementation means that it often outperforms cables with better specs (on paper), when used for short RF runs. (for long RF runs, please consider these cables) This Canare cable is lightweight and extremely flexible. It has a PVC jacket with a smooth, non-glare finish. It is smooth and pleasing to the touch. It even stays flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cable really is made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest all-around coaxial cables available at any price. For patch cables and other relatively short runs, we prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. Compared to the CFB series cable, LV-61S is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around since the 1940s, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high-quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares innovative 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. Canare BNC Connectors The BNC-type connector is the best connector that is commonly available for applications of this type. In general, it is both mechanically and electrically superior to an RCA connector. It has a twist-lock mechanism to ensure that the connection is mechanically secure, and the electrical design of the connector does a good job of maintaining constant impedance at the connector. Canare takes this inherent superiority to the next level. For example, many BNC connectors have a characteristic impedance of only 50 Ohms, but Canare connectors are engineered to maintain a constant impedance of 75 Ohms. This make a lot of sense because virtually all A/V equipment is designed to work best with 75 Ohm cables. It follows that if you want the best performance your equipment can deliver, you will need cables and connectors that maintain this impedance. This electrical superiority is the result of superior mechanical design, high-quality materials and precision manufacturing. Canares BNC connectors are almost artful in their design...and they work very well indeed. In our experience, the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. Canare F Connectors The unique Canare F connector design features an electromechanically stable nickel-over-brass body, with an extra-wide torque nut and machined threads. Unlike virtually every other F connector, Canares design does not unitize the center conductor of the coaxial cable as the plugs center contact pin. Instead, the center pin is made from gold-plated brass. This innovative approach avoids problems that are often associated with typical F connectors, such as corrosion, misalignment, incorrect length, and poorly shaped tip of the center contact. The dedicated center pin design prevents equipment damage that can occur with lesser designs. For example, the instruction manual that comes with Jensen Transformers excellent VRD-1FF Cable TV Ground Isolator specifically warns that the warranty can be voided by damage resulting from using a center conductor that is misshapen, or too long. This kind of damage will never happen with a Canare F connector because it is always exactly the correct length and shape! The precision of the body design, combined with the dedicated center pin results in a precision connector. This precision results in a 75 Ohm impedance-matched connector that connects up smoothly and accurately, providing a consistently reliable connection and thus a very high level of performance. The solid brass handle shuts out static and EM noise. A satin-finished nickel plating provides long-lasting protection and beauty. A spring-type strain-relief prevents cable damage due to repeated bending at the cable entry point, so cables last up to three times longer than with plugs that do not have strain-reliefs. See For Yourself ! In some ways, its easier to see the difference that video cables can make, than it is to hear a difference with audio cables. We have tested these Canare cables in video applications against Monster, and some other more esoteric video cables. In our test setup, the Canare cables always produced a visibly superior picture. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD player, and take a look at the test patterns. Look for ghost images and ringing that are visible with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and see the difference that constant impedance can make. The difference ranges from visible to dramatic. We have tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. The Canare cables, without exception, always looked the best to us. Some of the cables that we tested had better specs for loss than the Canare cables, but we never actually saw any cable produce a better picture than Canare. Some of the same characteristics that ensure great video performance are also desirable for great audio. With analog audio, constant impedance helps to avoid non-linearity in your amplifiers, and the lack of reflected energy in the cable ensures maximum signal transfer. Muddiness and distortion are avoided. High quality precision cable protects you from audible hum and interference. Your sound will be clear and clean. Digital audio presents a different set of challenges, but the same rules apply. Constant impedance eliminates ringing, echo, and signal delays which may cause decoder errors. Extraneous noise is excluded, so your digital signal gets to the decoder intact. The end result is the same in either application -- great sound. *Be sure to include a note with your payment specifying the colors and terminations you prefer.

Perfect for DVD or HDTV hook-ups! If you are not sure which component cable to choose, please click here for a comparison of Canare component video cables. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but 11 different color options are available below. *Be sure to include a note with your payment to let us know which of the included cable color(s) you want. If you do not specify, we will use our standard configuration which is yellow cable with red, green and blue strain-relief boots. Why Component? In a word, simplicity. Component video hook-ups eliminate some encoding and decoding steps. This is likely to improve picture quality because encoding or decoding a color signal is not a very clean process. Invariably some information is lost, and undesirable artifacts such as chroma crawl, busy edges, loss of detail in colored areas, and cross-color rainbows are generated. Each pass through the process adds to the problem, so the fewer times a signal is encoded and decoded, the better. If your equipment supports component video connections, you will certainly want to take advantage of it. What Makes Canare So Great? You can tell, just by looking, that Canare cables and connectors are well made, and you can tell by reading the rave reviews that Canare cables are great performers! Canare is the choice of professionals and discriminating enthusiasts, alike. We have found that the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. You probably already know the prices for Monster, Tributaries, and some of the other more esoteric cables -- they can be very expensive. On the basis of price alone, its hard to beat Canare, and if you consider performance, its even harder. From reading Monsters website, we were not able to see that they even claim to have constant impedance connectors! Its all very confusing, because a higher price does not necessarily equate to better performance, and most of the technical data on high-end cables is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, with little or no basis in fact. Unfortunately, superlatives do not render a superior picture. Formula for Superior Performance Heres what you need if you want the finest video that your equipment can deliver. You need video cables that are capable of maintaining a constant impedance. You dont want any bumps at the connectors, and you dont want the cable itself to change impedance when it bends. Even the finest cable changes impedance a little bit when it is bent sharply, so avoid doing so. Nice, smooth, consistent 75 Ohm impedance. Thats what your equipment wants, and thats what will deliver the best picture. You also want superior mechanical integrity. Nice, tight connections that will not degrade over time. You want to avoid dissimilar metals, which can lead to corrosion and degrade connections. To avoid dissimilar metals, try to stay away from soldered connections wherever you can, because solder almost guarantees that dissimilar metals will be in contact. Good solder work minimizes the problem, but there is also the challenge of making a solder connection without heat deforming the dielectric material of the cable. Any dimensional change in the dielectric will affect the impedance of the cable at that point. Of course you also want high quality cable. Flexibility is desirable because it avoids stress on your equipment and the interconnects. Try to avoid multiple materials in the conductors or shielding, because of the problems associated with dissimilar metals. Low loss is desirable, but dont sacrifice mechanical integrity in favor of small differences in loss specification! Cables with foamed dielectric materials generally have lower loss, but foam is not without its own inherent problems. Shielding is important, but dont be confused by exorbitant claims. Electrical shielding is not the same as waterproofing -- you dont need two, three, four, or more layers of shielding to get good electrical shielding, and all the extra layers make the cables stiff, and tend to make good terminations more difficult to install, and more prone to failure. Canare Cable These cables are made with Canares most popular cable, LV-61S. They are lightweight and extremely flexible. Considerably more flexible than the Monster cables we tested. This superior flexibility also ensures longer flex life. They have PVC jackets with a smooth, non-glare finish. They even stay flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cables really are made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 Ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest video cables available at any price. We prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. The CFB series cables have excellent high-frequency specifications, to be sure, but there is no practical advantage to using them for component video, and several disadvantages. This LV-61S cable is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. LV-61S has more than enough bandwidth for component video -- we have used this cable, with great success, in runs over 50 meters in length. If you really want CFB series cables, we have them here! Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own.

They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares new 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz.

This Canare LV-61S Precision Spec Your Own Cable offers a custom-configured, Canare precision cable, with 10 different cable colors, 11 different strain-relief, and three different connector options.* The cable is suitable for many kinds of video, audio, and RF applications. Use a single cable for SPDIF Digital audio applications, such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Alternately, a single cable also makes an ideal composite video cable, or specify F connectors for cable TV and satellite patch cables. Terminated with BNC connectors, it is ideal for test equipment. Buy a pair for analog audio interconnects, three for component video, five for RGBHV video, six for 5.1 analog audio, eight for 7.1 analog audio...the possibilities are almost endless. You may specify the color of the flexible silicone boots separately from the jacket color. The boots help to prevent sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. The cable can also be made with no boots - (required for lengths less than 0.5 meter), and some customers prefer the streamlined appearance, and shorter profile. The Cable With cable design, it is certainly true that there are many compromises to be made. That is why some cables may be good for audio, but not good for video. Likewise, cables that are good for video are often poor for audio. That is why it may be hard to understand how Canare LV-61S can be so good at so many things. Nonetheless, LV-61S has plenty of bandwidth for all kinds of video, including both composite and component video, right up to 1080p. We have customers using these cables for component video runs in the hundreds of feet with excellent results. Audio presents its own set of challenges, so it is somewhat surprising that a cable that works so well for video also excels with audio signals. We had not actually considered using this cable for audio until our founder visited with an engineer at one of the local television stations, and noticed that they were using this cable in most all of their patch panels - for both video and audio. More about audio later! While it is true that you might not want to use this cable for long, high-bandwidth RF runs, such as satellite down-leads, the unique connector implementation means that it often outperforms cables with better specs (on paper), when used for short RF runs. (for long RF runs, please consider these cables) This Canare cable is lightweight and extremely flexible. It has a PVC jacket with a smooth, non-glare finish. It is smooth and pleasing to the touch. It even stays flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cable really is made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest all-around coaxial cables available at any price. For patch cables and other relatively short runs, we prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. Compared to the CFB series cable, LV-61S is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around since the 1940s, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high-quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares innovative 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. Canare BNC Connectors The BNC-type connector is the best connector that is commonly available for applications of this type. In general, it is both mechanically and electrically superior to an RCA connector. It has a twist-lock mechanism to ensure that the connection is mechanically secure, and the electrical design of the connector does a good job of maintaining constant impedance at the connector. Canare takes this inherent superiority to the next level. For example, many BNC connectors have a characteristic impedance of only 50 Ohms, but Canare connectors are engineered to maintain a constant impedance of 75 Ohms. This make a lot of sense because virtually all A/V equipment is designed to work best with 75 Ohm cables. It follows that if you want the best performance your equipment can deliver, you will need cables and connectors that maintain this impedance. This electrical superiority is the result of superior mechanical design, high-quality materials and precision manufacturing. Canares BNC connectors are almost artful in their design...and they work very well indeed. In our experience, the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. Canare F Connectors The unique Canare F connector design features an electromechanically stable nickel-over-brass body, with an extra-wide torque nut and machined threads. Unlike virtually every other F connector, Canares design does not unitize the center conductor of the coaxial cable as the plugs center contact pin. Instead, the center pin is made from gold-plated brass. This innovative approach avoids problems that are often associated with typical F connectors, such as corrosion, misalignment, incorrect length, and poorly shaped tip of the center contact. The dedicated center pin design prevents equipment damage that can occur with lesser designs. For example, the instruction manual that comes with Jensen Transformers excellent VRD-1FF Cable TV Ground Isolator specifically warns that the warranty can be voided by damage resulting from using a center conductor that is misshapen, or too long. This kind of damage will never happen with a Canare F connector because it is always exactly the correct length and shape! The precision of the body design, combined with the dedicated center pin results in a precision connector. This precision results in a 75 Ohm impedance-matched connector that connects up smoothly and accurately, providing a consistently reliable connection and thus a very high level of performance. The solid brass handle shuts out static and EM noise. A satin-finished nickel plating provides long-lasting protection and beauty. A spring-type strain-relief prevents cable damage due to repeated bending at the cable entry point, so cables last up to three times longer than with plugs that do not have strain-reliefs. See For Yourself ! In some ways, its easier to see the difference that video cables can make, than it is to hear a difference with audio cables. We have tested these Canare cables in video applications against Monster, and some other more esoteric video cables. In our test setup, the Canare cables always produced a visibly superior picture. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD player, and take a look at the test patterns. Look for ghost images and ringing that are visible with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and see the difference that constant impedance can make. The difference ranges from visible to dramatic. We have tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. The Canare cables, without exception, always looked the best to us. Some of the cables that we tested had better specs for loss than the Canare cables, but we never actually saw any cable produce a better picture than Canare. Some of the same characteristics that ensure great video performance are also desirable for great audio. With analog audio, constant impedance helps to avoid non-linearity in your amplifiers, and the lack of reflected energy in the cable ensures maximum signal transfer. Muddiness and distortion are avoided. High quality precision cable protects you from audible hum and interference. Your sound will be clear and clean. Digital audio presents a different set of challenges, but the same rules apply. Constant impedance eliminates ringing, echo, and signal delays which may cause decoder errors. Extraneous noise is excluded, so your digital signal gets to the decoder intact. The end result is the same in either application -- great sound. *Be sure to include a note with your payment specifying the colors and terminations you prefer.

Perfect for DVD or HDTV hook-ups! If you are not sure which component cable to choose, please click here for a comparison of Canare component video cables. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but 11 different color options are available below. *Be sure to include a note with your payment to let us know which of the included cable color(s) you want. If you do not specify, we will use our standard configuration which is yellow cable with red, green and blue strain-relief boots. Why Component? In a word, simplicity. Component video hook-ups eliminate some encoding and decoding steps. This is likely to improve picture quality because encoding or decoding a color signal is not a very clean process. Invariably some information is lost, and undesirable artifacts such as chroma crawl, busy edges, loss of detail in colored areas, and cross-color rainbows are generated. Each pass through the process adds to the problem, so the fewer times a signal is encoded and decoded, the better. If your equipment supports component video connections, you will certainly want to take advantage of it. What Makes Canare So Great? You can tell, just by looking, that Canare cables and connectors are well made, and you can tell by reading the rave reviews that Canare cables are great performers! Canare is the choice of professionals and discriminating enthusiasts, alike. We have found that the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. You probably already know the prices for Monster, Tributaries, and some of the other more esoteric cables -- they can be very expensive. On the basis of price alone, its hard to beat Canare, and if you consider performance, its even harder. From reading Monsters website, we were not able to see that they even claim to have constant impedance connectors! Its all very confusing, because a higher price does not necessarily equate to better performance, and most of the technical data on high-end cables is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, with little or no basis in fact. Unfortunately, superlatives do not render a superior picture. Formula for Superior Performance Heres what you need if you want the finest video that your equipment can deliver. You need video cables that are capable of maintaining a constant impedance. You dont want any bumps at the connectors, and you dont want the cable itself to change impedance when it bends. Even the finest cable changes impedance a little bit when it is bent sharply, so avoid doing so. Nice, smooth, consistent 75 Ohm impedance. Thats what your equipment wants, and thats what will deliver the best picture. You also want superior mechanical integrity. Nice, tight connections that will not degrade over time. You want to avoid dissimilar metals, which can lead to corrosion and degrade connections. To avoid dissimilar metals, try to stay away from soldered connections wherever you can, because solder almost guarantees that dissimilar metals will be in contact. Good solder work minimizes the problem, but there is also the challenge of making a solder connection without heat deforming the dielectric material of the cable. Any dimensional change in the dielectric will affect the impedance of the cable at that point. Of course you also want high quality cable. Flexibility is desirable because it avoids stress on your equipment and the interconnects. Try to avoid multiple materials in the conductors or shielding, because of the problems associated with dissimilar metals. Low loss is desirable, but dont sacrifice mechanical integrity in favor of small differences in loss specification! Cables with foamed dielectric materials generally have lower loss, but foam is not without its own inherent problems. Shielding is important, but dont be confused by exorbitant claims. Electrical shielding is not the same as waterproofing -- you dont need two, three, four, or more layers of shielding to get good electrical shielding, and all the extra layers make the cables stiff, and tend to make good terminations more difficult to install, and more prone to failure. Canare Cable These cables are made with Canares most popular cable, LV-61S. They are lightweight and extremely flexible. Considerably more flexible than the Monster cables we tested. This superior flexibility also ensures longer flex life. They have PVC jackets with a smooth, non-glare finish. They even stay flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cables really are made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 Ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest video cables available at any price. We prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. The CFB series cables have excellent high-frequency specifications, to be sure, but there is no practical advantage to using them for component video, and several disadvantages. This LV-61S cable is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. LV-61S has more than enough bandwidth for component video -- we have used this cable, with great success, in runs over 50 meters in length. If you really want CFB series cables, we have them here! Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around for over 50 years, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares new 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated.

This Canare LV-61S Precision Spec Your Own Cable offers a custom-configured, Canare precision cable, with 10 different cable colors, 11 different strain-relief, and three different connector options.* The cable is suitable for many kinds of video, audio, and RF applications. Use a single cable for SPDIF Digital audio applications, such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Alternately, a single cable also makes an ideal composite video cable, or specify F connectors for cable TV and satellite patch cables. Terminated with BNC connectors, it is ideal for test equipment. Buy a pair for analog audio interconnects, three for component video, five for RGBHV video, six for 5.1 analog audio, eight for 7.1 analog audio...the possibilities are almost endless. You may specify the color of the flexible silicone boots separately from the jacket color. The boots help to prevent sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. The cable can also be made with no boots - (required for lengths less than 0.5 meter), and some customers prefer the streamlined appearance, and shorter profile. The Cable With cable design, it is certainly true that there are many compromises to be made. That is why some cables may be good for audio, but not good for video. Likewise, cables that are good for video are often poor for audio. That is why it may be hard to understand how Canare LV-61S can be so good at so many things. Nonetheless, LV-61S has plenty of bandwidth for all kinds of video, including both composite and component video, right up to 1080p. We have customers using these cables for component video runs in the hundreds of feet with excellent results. Audio presents its own set of challenges, so it is somewhat surprising that a cable that works so well for video also excels with audio signals. We had not actually considered using this cable for audio until our founder visited with an engineer at one of the local television stations, and noticed that they were using this cable in most all of their patch panels - for both video and audio. More about audio later! While it is true that you might not want to use this cable for long, high-bandwidth RF runs, such as satellite down-leads, the unique connector implementation means that it often outperforms cables with better specs (on paper), when used for short RF runs. (for long RF runs, please consider these cables) This Canare cable is lightweight and extremely flexible. It has a PVC jacket with a smooth, non-glare finish. It is smooth and pleasing to the touch. It even stays flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cable really is made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest all-around coaxial cables available at any price. For patch cables and other relatively short runs, we prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. Compared to the CFB series cable, LV-61S is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around since the 1940s, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high-quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares innovative 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. Canare BNC Connectors The BNC-type connector is the best connector that is commonly available for applications of this type. In general, it is both mechanically and electrically superior to an RCA connector. It has a twist-lock mechanism to ensure that the connection is mechanically secure, and the electrical design of the connector does a good job of maintaining constant impedance at the connector. Canare takes this inherent superiority to the next level. For example, many BNC connectors have a characteristic impedance of only 50 Ohms, but Canare connectors are engineered to maintain a constant impedance of 75 Ohms. This make a lot of sense because virtually all A/V equipment is designed to work best with 75 Ohm cables. It follows that if you want the best performance your equipment can deliver, you will need cables and connectors that maintain this impedance. This electrical superiority is the result of superior mechanical design, high-quality materials and precision manufacturing. Canares BNC connectors are almost artful in their design...and they work very well indeed. In our experience, the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. Canare F Connectors The unique Canare F connector design features an electromechanically stable nickel-over-brass body, with an extra-wide torque nut and machined threads. Unlike virtually every other F connector, Canares design does not unitize the center conductor of the coaxial cable as the plugs center contact pin. Instead, the center pin is made from gold-plated brass. This innovative approach avoids problems that are often associated with typical F connectors, such as corrosion, misalignment, incorrect length, and poorly shaped tip of the center contact. The dedicated center pin design prevents equipment damage that can occur with lesser designs. For example, the instruction manual that comes with Jensen Transformers excellent VRD-1FF Cable TV Ground Isolator specifically warns that the warranty can be voided by damage resulting from using a center conductor that is misshapen, or too long. This kind of damage will never happen with a Canare F connector because it is always exactly the correct length and shape! The precision of the body design, combined with the dedicated center pin results in a precision connector. This precision results in a 75 Ohm impedance-matched connector that connects up smoothly and accurately, providing a consistently reliable connection and thus a very high level of performance. The solid brass handle shuts out static and EM noise. A satin-finished nickel plating provides long-lasting protection and beauty. A spring-type strain-relief prevents cable damage due to repeated bending at the cable entry point, so cables last up to three times longer than with plugs that do not have strain-reliefs. See For Yourself ! In some ways, its easier to see the difference that video cables can make, than it is to hear a difference with audio cables. We have tested these Canare cables in video applications against Monster, and some other more esoteric video cables. In our test setup, the Canare cables always produced a visibly superior picture. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD player, and take a look at the test patterns. Look for ghost images and ringing that are visible with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and see the difference that constant impedance can make. The difference ranges from visible to dramatic. We have tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. The Canare cables, without exception, always looked the best to us. Some of the cables that we tested had better specs for loss than the Canare cables, but we never actually saw any cable produce a better picture than Canare. Some of the same characteristics that ensure great video performance are also desirable for great audio. With analog audio, constant impedance helps to avoid non-linearity in your amplifiers, and the lack of reflected energy in the cable ensures maximum signal transfer. Muddiness and distortion are avoided. High quality precision cable protects you from audible hum and interference. Your sound will be clear and clean. Digital audio presents a different set of challenges, but the same rules apply. Constant impedance eliminates ringing, echo, and signal delays which may cause decoder errors. Extraneous noise is excluded, so your digital signal gets to the decoder intact. The end result is the same in either application -- great sound. *Be sure to include a note with your payment specifying the colors and terminations you prefer.

The boots enhance the appearance of the cables and avoid sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. Here is an upgrade for your system that will be hard to miss -- from the professional look and feel of the cables themselves, to the superior quality of the video that they provide. Perfect for DVD or HDTV hook-ups! If you are not sure which component cable to choose, please click here for a comparison of Canare component video cables. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but 11 different color options are available below. *Be sure to include a note with your payment to let us know which of the included cable color(s) you want. If you do not specify, we will use our standard configuration which is yellow cable with red, green and blue strain-relief boots. Why Component? In a word, simplicity. Component video hook-ups eliminate some encoding and decoding steps. This is likely to improve picture quality because encoding or decoding a color signal is not a very clean process. Invariably some information is lost, and undesirable artifacts such as chroma crawl, busy edges, loss of detail in colored areas, and cross-color rainbows are generated. Each pass through the process adds to the problem, so the fewer times a signal is encoded and decoded, the better. If your equipment supports component video connections, you will certainly want to take advantage of it. What Makes Canare So Great? You can tell, just by looking, that Canare cables and connectors are well made, and you can tell by reading the rave reviews that Canare cables are great performers! Canare is the choice of professionals and discriminating enthusiasts, alike. We have found that the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. You probably already know the prices for Monster, Tributaries, and some of the other more esoteric cables -- they can be very expensive. On the basis of price alone, its hard to beat Canare, and if you consider performance, its even harder. From reading Monsters website, we were not able to see that they even claim to have constant impedance connectors! Its all very confusing, because a higher price does not necessarily equate to better performance, and most of the technical data on high-end cables is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, with little or no basis in fact. Unfortunately, superlatives do not render a superior picture. Formula for Superior Performance Heres what you need if you want the finest video that your equipment can deliver. You need video cables that are capable of maintaining a constant impedance. You dont want any bumps at the connectors, and you dont want the cable itself to change impedance when it bends. Even the finest cable changes impedance a little bit when it is bent sharply, so avoid doing so. Nice, smooth, consistent 75 Ohm impedance. Thats what your equipment wants, and thats what will deliver the best picture. You also want superior mechanical integrity. Nice, tight connections that will not degrade over time. You want to avoid dissimilar metals, which can lead to corrosion and degrade connections. To avoid dissimilar metals, try to stay away from soldered connections wherever you can, because solder almost guarantees that dissimilar metals will be in contact. Good solder work minimizes the problem, but there is also the challenge of making a solder connection without heat deforming the dielectric material of the cable. Any dimensional change in the dielectric will affect the impedance of the cable at that point. Of course you also want high quality cable. Flexibility is desirable because it avoids stress on your equipment and the interconnects. Try to avoid multiple materials in the conductors or shielding, because of the problems associated with dissimilar metals. Low loss is desirable, but dont sacrifice mechanical integrity in favor of small differences in loss specification! Cables with foamed dielectric materials generally have lower loss, but foam is not without its own inherent problems. Shielding is important, but dont be confused by exorbitant claims. Electrical shielding is not the same as waterproofing -- you dont need two, three, four, or more layers of shielding to get good electrical shielding, and all the extra layers make the cables stiff, and tend to make good terminations more difficult to install, and more prone to failure. Canare Cable These cables are made with Canares most popular cable, LV-61S. They are lightweight and extremely flexible. Considerably more flexible than the Monster cables we tested. This superior flexibility also ensures longer flex life. They have PVC jackets with a smooth, non-glare finish. They even stay flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cables really are made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 Ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest video cables available at any price. We prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. The CFB series cables have excellent high-frequency specifications, to be sure, but there is no practical advantage to using them for component video, and several disadvantages. This LV-61S cable is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. LV-61S has more than enough bandwidth for component video -- we have used this cable, with great success, in runs over 50 meters in length. If you really want CFB series cables, we have them here! Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around for over 50 years, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares new 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated.

This Canare LV-61S Precision Spec Your Own Cable offers a custom-configured, Canare precision cable, with 10 different cable colors, 11 different strain-relief, and three different connector options.* The cable is suitable for many kinds of video, audio, and RF applications. Use a single cable for SPDIF Digital audio applications, such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Alternately, a single cable also makes an ideal composite video cable, or specify F connectors for cable TV and satellite patch cables. Terminated with BNC connectors, it is ideal for test equipment. Buy a pair for analog audio interconnects, three for component video, five for RGBHV video, six for 5.1 analog audio, eight for 7.1 analog audio...the possibilities are almost endless. You may specify the color of the flexible silicone boots separately from the jacket color. The boots help to prevent sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. The cable can also be made with no boots - (required for lengths less than 0.5 meter), and some customers prefer the streamlined appearance, and shorter profile. The Cable With cable design, it is certainly true that there are many compromises to be made. That is why some cables may be good for audio, but not good for video. Likewise, cables that are good for video are often poor for audio. That is why it may be hard to understand how Canare LV-61S can be so good at so many things. Nonetheless, LV-61S has plenty of bandwidth for all kinds of video, including both composite and component video, right up to 1080p. We have customers using these cables for component video runs in the hundreds of feet with excellent results. Audio presents its own set of challenges, so it is somewhat surprising that a cable that works so well for video also excels with audio signals. We had not actually considered using this cable for audio until our founder visited with an engineer at one of the local television stations, and noticed that they were using this cable in most all of their patch panels - for both video and audio. More about audio later! While it is true that you might not want to use this cable for long, high-bandwidth RF runs, such as satellite down-leads, the unique connector implementation means that it often outperforms cables with better specs (on paper), when used for short RF runs. (for long RF runs, please consider these cables) This Canare cable is lightweight and extremely flexible. It has a PVC jacket with a smooth, non-glare finish. It is smooth and pleasing to the touch. It even stays flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cable really is made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest all-around coaxial cables available at any price. For patch cables and other relatively short runs, we prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. Compared to the CFB series cable, LV-61S is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded, and thus corrosion is prevented. Its an awesome system, and the resulting terminations are in a class of their own. Generic RCA audio plugs and cables have been around since the 1940s, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 Ohms. They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high-quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares innovative 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz! The connector design ensures consistent and extremely reliable terminations. VSWR is typically less than 1.1 from DC to 200 MHz. The crimp design excludes oxygen, preventing corrosion associated with dissimilar metals, which can degrade even the best soldered connections. The center shaft is gold plated. If you look closely at the picture at the right, you can see the internal pressure fingers, which ensure good contact, while solving the grip of death problem, which has been a issue with Monsters connectors. The grip of death connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment. Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment. Canare BNC Connectors The BNC-type connector is the best connector that is commonly available for applications of this type. In general, it is both mechanically and electrically superior to an RCA connector. It has a twist-lock mechanism to ensure that the connection is mechanically secure, and the electrical design of the connector does a good job of maintaining constant impedance at the connector. Canare takes this inherent superiority to the next level. For example, many BNC connectors have a characteristic impedance of only 50 Ohms, but Canare connectors are engineered to maintain a constant impedance of 75 Ohms. This make a lot of sense because virtually all A/V equipment is designed to work best with 75 Ohm cables. It follows that if you want the best performance your equipment can deliver, you will need cables and connectors that maintain this impedance. This electrical superiority is the result of superior mechanical design, high-quality materials and precision manufacturing. Canares BNC connectors are almost artful in their design...and they work very well indeed. In our experience, the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. Canare F Connectors The unique Canare F connector design features an electromechanically stable nickel-over-brass body, with an extra-wide torque nut and machined threads. Unlike virtually every other F connector, Canares design does not unitize the center conductor of the coaxial cable as the plugs center contact pin. Instead, the center pin is made from gold-plated brass. This innovative approach avoids problems that are often associated with typical F connectors, such as corrosion, misalignment, incorrect length, and poorly shaped tip of the center contact. The dedicated center pin design prevents equipment damage that can occur with lesser designs. For example, the instruction manual that comes with Jensen Transformers excellent VRD-1FF Cable TV Ground Isolator specifically warns that the warranty can be voided by damage resulting from using a center conductor that is misshapen, or too long. This kind of damage will never happen with a Canare F connector because it is always exactly the correct length and shape! The precision of the body design, combined with the dedicated center pin results in a precision connector. This precision results in a 75 Ohm impedance-matched connector that connects up smoothly and accurately, providing a consistently reliable connection and thus a very high level of performance. The solid brass handle shuts out static and EM noise. A satin-finished nickel plating provides long-lasting protection and beauty. A spring-type strain-relief prevents cable damage due to repeated bending at the cable entry point, so cables last up to three times longer than with plugs that do not have strain-reliefs. See For Yourself ! In some ways, its easier to see the difference that video cables can make, than it is to hear a difference with audio cables. We have tested these Canare cables in video applications against Monster, and some other more esoteric video cables. In our test setup, the Canare cables always produced a visibly superior picture. If you dont believe it, you can try it yourself. If you dont already have it, get a copy of the Video Essentials or Avia test disks for your DVD player, and take a look at the test patterns. Look for ghost images and ringing that are visible with lesser cables, then switch to the Canare cables and see the difference that constant impedance can make. The difference ranges from visible to dramatic. We have tested cables ranging in length from 1 meter to 100 meters. The Canare cables, without exception, always looked the best to us. Some of the cables that we tested had better specs for loss than the Canare cables, but we never actually saw any cable produce a better picture than Canare. Some of the same characteristics that ensure great video performance are also desirable for great audio. With analog audio, constant impedance helps to avoid non-linearity in your amplifiers, and the lack of reflected energy in the cable ensures maximum signal transfer. Muddiness and distortion are avoided. High quality precision cable protects you from audible hum and interference. Your sound will be clear and clean. Digital audio presents a different set of challenges, but the same rules apply. Constant impedance eliminates ringing, echo, and signal delays which may cause decoder errors. Extraneous noise is excluded, so your digital signal gets to the decoder intact. The end result is the same in either application -- great sound. *Be sure to include a note with your payment specifying the colors and terminations you prefer.

Canare LV-61S Component Video Cable Set Pro Series Precision Discrete 3-Channel Set with RCA connectors 2 meter, (6.6 foot) Length, 11 jacket color options (please click here to see a complete list of available lengths) Canare LV-61S Component Video Cable Set Pro Series Precision Discrete 3-Channel Set This is a three-channel custom made Canare LV-61S Component Video Cable Set. The cables are made with Canares high-quality, True 75 Ohm connectors, fitted with flexible color-coded silicone strain-relief boots. The boots enhance the appearance of the cables and avoid sharp bends at the connectors while providing visual identification of the channels. Here is an upgrade for your system that will be hard to miss -- from the professional look and feel of the cables themselves, to the superior quality of the video that they provide. Perfect for DVD or HDTV hook-ups! If you are not sure which component cable to choose, please click here for a comparison of Canare component video cables. Our standard jacket color is yellow, but 11 different color options are available below. *Be sure to include a note with your payment to let us know which of the included cable color(s) you want. If you do not specify, we will use our standard configuration which is yellow cable with red, green and blue strain-relief boots. Why Component? In a word, simplicity. Component video hook-ups eliminate some encoding and decoding steps. This is likely to improve picture quality because encoding or decoding a color signal is not a very clean process. Invariably some information is lost, and undesirable artifacts such as chroma crawl, busy edges, loss of detail in colored areas, and cross-color rainbows are generated. Each pass through the process adds to the problem, so the fewer times a signal is encoded and decoded, the better. If your equipment supports component video connections, you will certainly want to take advantage of it. What Makes Canare So Great? You can tell, just by looking, that Canare cables and connectors are well made, and you can tell by reading the rave reviews that Canare cables are great performers! Canare is the choice of professionals and discriminating enthusiasts, alike. We have found that the key to great video cables is in the connectors. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but its the connectors that really make the difference. You probably already know the prices for Monster, Tributaries, and some of the other more esoteric cables -- they can be very expensive. On the basis of price alone, its hard to beat Canare, and if you consider performance, its even harder. From reading Monsters website, we were not able to see that they even claim to have constant impedance connectors! Its all very confusing, because a higher price does not necessarily equate to better performance, and most of the technical data on high-end cables is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, with little or no basis in fact. Unfortunately, superlatives do not render a superior picture. Formula for Superior Performance Heres what you need if you want the finest video that your equipment can deliver. You need video cables that are capable of maintaining a constant impedance. You dont want any bumps at the connectors, and you dont want the cable itself to change impedance when it bends. Even the finest cable changes impedance a little bit when it is bent sharply, so avoid doing so. Nice, smooth, consistent 75 Ohm impedance. Thats what your equipment wants, and thats what will deliver the best picture. You also want superior mechanical integrity. Nice, tight connections that will not degrade over time. You want to avoid dissimilar metals, which can lead to corrosion and degrade connections. To avoid dissimilar metals, try to stay away from soldered connections wherever you can, because solder almost guarantees that dissimilar metals will be in contact. Good solder work minimizes the problem, but there is also the challenge of making a solder connection without heat deforming the dielectric material of the cable. Any dimensional change in the dielectric will affect the impedance of the cable at that point. Of course you also want high quality cable. Flexibility is desirable because it avoids stress on your equipment and the interconnects. Try to avoid multiple materials in the conductors or shielding, because of the problems associated with dissimilar metals. Low loss is desirable, but dont sacrifice mechanical integrity in favor of small differences in loss specification! Cables with foamed dielectric materials generally have lower loss, but foam is not without its own inherent problems. Shielding is important, but dont be confused by exorbitant claims. Electrical shielding is not the same as waterproofing -- you dont need two, three, four, or more layers of shielding to get good electrical shielding, and all the extra layers make the cables stiff, and tend to make good terminations more difficult to install, and more prone to failure. Canare Cable These cables are made with Canares most popular cable, LV-61S. They are lightweight and extremely flexible. Considerably more flexible than the Monster cables we tested. This superior flexibility also ensures longer flex life. They have PVC jackets with a smooth, non-glare finish. They even stay flexible in sub-zero weather! Hopefully, your equipment will never be subjected to such an extreme temperature, but the point is that the cables really are made of high-quality materials. Here are some specs on the cable: Outside diameter, 6.1mm (.240 in.) Low loss - less than .013 dB per meter at 1 MHz, and less than 4.2 dB even at 1 GHz! Tightly woven all-copper shield with greater than 95% coverage Nominal capacitance, 67 pF per meter at 1 KHz Nominal impedance, 75 Ohms Velocity of propagation, 66% In our experience, this is one of the finest video cables available at any price. We prefer it even to other offerings from Canare, such as the CFB series cables (which we also offer), for several important reasons. The CFB series cables have excellent high-frequency specifications, to be sure, but there is no practical advantage to using them for component video, and several disadvantages. This LV-61S cable is much more flexible and is easier to work with. It also stands up better to handling and bending. LV-61S has more than enough bandwidth for component video -- we have used this cable, with great success, in runs over 50 meters in length. If you really want CFB series cables, we have them here! Canare RCA Connectors It is hard to imagine a finer RCA connector than Canares. They are precision machined to maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance. We install them using a Canare tool that always prepares the cable ends, just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies.

They exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high quality cable. Some of the so-called high end cables use exotic-sounding materials and make unsupportable claims, but still fail to solve this very real and important problem. Canares new 75 Ohm RCA crimp plugs solve these problems. Their impedance-matched design achieves excellent digital and analog performance, with a usable bandwidth to 200 MHz!

If English is your language of choice, you will have the simple pleasure of communicating with people whose first language is English. Granted, if you call on the phone, you may detect more than a trace of a Texas accent, but that is to be expected when dealing with a family-owned business run by native Texans. We sincerely hope that you will find our heritage of courtesy, honesty, and an ethical way of doing business to be a refreshing experience.
