    Works fine for what it is, but the large flat top of the cable makes it incompatible with some equipment. I was not able to connect this to a 3DO or an S-Video switch effectively. I found another use for it but still, be wary if you need this for anything where the port is a bit recessed.

    Turns out I didn't need this cable after all. But when I went in to get one, the greeter said that didn't have those old cables anymore, but pointed me to where they might.... they did. Right there.

    I find there is always something with these S-Video cables from bestbuy. I want something relatively inexpensive, but something that will only work for 20 minutes before it fully fails. I'm never buying this again from bestbuy.
