I'm doing a project with a Neothings Avalon 8x4 component video matrix (component + coax dig audio).

In the rack there is gonna be a bunch of cable (duh).

I've got 6 sources which all have component video and coax digital, and I'd like to find a single cable solution for connecting them all (to keep the rack neat, etc).

Anyone seen any reliable pre-made cables, with 4 RCA male on each end, capable of HD transmission + digital audio, in the 2 to 10 foot range?

If you really want to make a neat wiring you need to start doing your own interconects.
Liberty wire has the Interflex-SD Cable that will allow you to do that. Also you might check Audioquest.
I'm always right. The only time I was wrong was the time that I thought, that I was wrong.

flcusat has the answer.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

If you don't want to make your own, I can make them up for you using the Canare V4-3C with the appropriate Canare ends. How big is the Liberty Interflex-SD cable?

MUXLAB has a bunch of wierd little devices used with CAT5E... if not for this job, their stuff has solved a lot of problems in other situations.

Thanks for the responses.... I should have been more detailed:

I currently make my own cables (Liberty cable and terminations) and thats fine... but this is going to involve a tonne of connects, and our time is especially precious (and limited) at the moment... so I was looking for a decent, easy-out.

As for the MUXLAB stuff, I haven't used it... but I am using some Audio Control balance video over cat5e stuff to distribute the output from the video matrix. Apparently the MUXLAB stuff is quite cheap, and works good, true?
