i need one component video cable and 2 digital coax cable. any suggestions on where to buy them. Note, I live in Canada.
I checked monoprice cables, don't know if the following are good quality.
1.) 2769 PREMIUM 6Ft 3-RCA Component Video Cable (RG-59/u) w/Fancy connector ($$$$9.00)
2.) Product ID: 2773 PREMIUM 6FT 5-RCA Component Video/Audio Coaxial 20AWG Cable (5xRG-59/U) w/Fancy connector ($$$15...)
WHICH ONE SHOULD I GET??? NOT TOO SURE WHAT 20AWG means??
FOR digital coax cable:
1) Product ID: 2682 High-quality Digital Coaxial Audio RCA Cable M/M RG59U 75ohm Gold connector S/PDIF - 12ft
($$$$5.98)
I would appreciate any info or suggestions, if possible please let me know the exact model or product. As i don't know too much about cables.
Thanks

Blue Jeans Cable carries all that good stuff, and they ship to Canada.

At bluejeans, Belden 7787A Component Video Cable
6 feet cost $$48.00 dollars
Seems Pretty expensive, compare to:
monoprice: PREMIUM 6Ft 3-RCA Component Video Cable (RG-59/u) w/Fancy connector only cost $9.76
Are there any big difference between the two (quality, etc) ???? I only want to contact my satelite to tv.

Blackie, the MonoPrice cables are fine and there's no good reason to pay more. If what you need is three 6' component video cables, then you should get 2769, rather than the five cable 2773 set. If you need 12'(rather than 6')cables for your digital coaxial connections, you should get two 2682.
20AWG stands for 20American Wire Gauge(which is a cable size the old military manual classified as RG59U). Interconnecting cable thicknesses aren't of any consequence at the short distances typically used in home AV and 20ga is more than enough.

I just purchased several cables from Mono Price last week consisting of S-Video, Digital Coax, and Toslink. All were good quality and fast service, used the overnight shipping in California at a cost of $ 7.50...........they arrived at 7am the next day.

I ordered from Monoprice (I live in Burlington ON) just before Christmas, took 10 days to arrive, I think most of the delay was due to holidays and the border.
The quality of the DVI/HDMI cable was most impressive and it was more than $100 cheaper than FutileShop.
I highly recommend Monoprice for Canadians.
