Gus Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I've had a real struggle to find a good quality SCART-to-SCART cable beyond the standard 1.5 metres. Does anyone out there know where I can get one in Sydney. Ideal length is 4m, although I suspect I'll have to live with 5m. I've tried the usual suspects: Jaycar, DSE/Tandy, Harvey Norman, The Good Guys. There's the odd seller on ebay, usually offshore, but the information is scant and I'm reluctant to try my chances. I've located 2 brands that are affordable, so if anyone has experience with them I'd love to hear about it. They are Ixos and Lindy: http://www.encelstereo.com.au/encel/Brand03pop.asp?id=293 https://www.lindy.com.au/online/arrshop.exe...&ai=1327508 or https://www.lindy.com.au/online/arrshop.exe...&ai=1327508 Another brand, TST Europe, exists, but is very, very expensive. Also, assuming the quality is good (OFC, shielded, etc) is there a maximum length before acceptable signal quality degrades with SCARTs? Thanks for any info! Gus
wheelz Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 You will find many people use and recommend this place,altho the ones in your links look fine http://www.htcustomcables.com/
jakes Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 You will find many people use and recommend this placehttp://www.htcustomcables.com/ Except that they don't seem to offer any scart cables - even short ones. The Lindy cables are pretty good as far as I know. I have a 10m VGA cable from them - it's extremely solid, quality connectors, and works without problems. I assume their scart cable should be of similar quality. I don't know about the Ixos cables but a quick search for Lindy on this board shows that people generally have good stuff to say about their products.

jakes Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 they have adaptors and i think if you speak with them they can make you up what you want. In which case, it would be well worth following up.
Gus Posted February 25, 2007 Author Posted February 25, 2007 Thanks for the feedback. Will have a look! Gus
jdh500 Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I have a quality 3m and 1.5m scart cable I'm no longer using, I'm happy to offer them to you for $10 each if interested and are of any help. I think from memory they cost about $35 ea from a local hifi store (Eastwood HiFi). Otherwise I can probably find out what the brand was and you can buy it their new, they may have 4 m lengths but this sounds like an odd size. JDH.

Thudd1503560234 Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 I've used www.bluejeancables.co.uk for custome lengths. Good service, good prices, good cables.
