Product Information

Full details

The kenable Round Scart Cable is designed for retro gaming enthusiasts and owners of legacy video equipment who need a reliable, standard connection between devices. It delivers stable audio and video signals via a fully wired 21-pin configuration, making it a versatile choice for VCRs, DVD players, and older consoles. While it provides solid performance, users should note that as a standard-grade cable, it lacks the advanced shielding found in high-end premium alternatives, which may lead to interference in high-density electronic environments.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this cable support RGB signals?

Yes, because the cable is fully wired with 21 pins, it is capable of carrying RGB, composite, and stereo audio signals.

Can I use this for High Definition signals?

No, SCART is an analog-only format and cannot carry High Definition signals. It is intended for standard-definition video equipment.

Is this cable shielded?

It features a standard thick casing, but it does not have the heavy-duty individual wire shielding found in professional-grade high-end AV cables.

Can I daisy-chain this cable with other adapters?

While it is physically possible, excessive daisy-chaining of cables and adapters can lead to significant signal loss and image degradation.

Is the cable directional?

No, this is a standard SCART cable and can transmit signals in either direction, assuming the connected devices support bi-directional communication.

Troubleshooting

No picture or sound on the television

Ensure the cable is pushed firmly into the SCART socket at both ends and the television is set to the correct AV input channel.

Interference or 'snowy' picture

Check that the cable is not bundled tightly with power cords or other electronic cables, which can cause electromagnetic interference.

Loose connection

Inspect the SCART port pins on the device for debris and ensure the cable housing is not obstructed by furniture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fully wired 21-pin design ensures wide compatibility
  • Generous 3-meter length allows for flexible device placement
  • Thick outer casing improves durability and cable management
  • Cost-effective solution for legacy hardware

Cons

  • Nickel plating is less conductive than gold-plated alternatives
  • Lacks extensive electromagnetic shielding
  • Stiff cable material may be difficult to bend in tight spaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, plug the SCART connector firmly into the port until you feel a positive click; the shape of the connector is slightly trapezoidal, so ensure it is oriented correctly before pushing. To maintain the life of the cable, avoid sharp bends or heavy objects resting on the cord, as this can degrade the internal pins over time. Clean the nickel-plated connectors occasionally with a dry cloth to prevent oxidation buildup. This cable is strictly for devices with standard SCART interfaces and should not be used with adapters that are not designed for analog signal conversion.
