Cheap and nasty scart cables

A proper SCART cable has individual coax for the video signals and individually screened audio. Many use unscreened cables and you get crosstalk. This doesn't look like it has the screens but it is hard to see. Price is no guide to performance with SCART cables I have bought £1.99 ones that are fine and taken back more expensive ones after opening them up to look at the cable.

Normally less than a pound in the trade and perfectly acceptable for short links on normal domestic equipment where they are fitted and forgotten.

The amazon page does state "Individually screened cable".
Never had a problem with Pound Shop scarts
