Compoent video cables themselves aren't made of gold, but they can be gold plated. Gold plated connectors allow for better conductivity. The cables are typically made of oxygen free copper.

What is a Component video socket?
Component video is one of the high-end video interfaces offered on audiovisual equipment today. It supersedes composite video and S-Video by providing greater signal clarity than either, resulting in better picture quality. The component video interface consists of three RCA or coaxial jacks, one green, one red and one blue, requiring three cables. Component video carries visual data only. Audio cables are still required. Like composite and S-Video, component video is an analog interface, but its three cables better preserve the various elements of the video source signal. These elements are the Y signal, which carries brightness or contrast values, and the C signal, which carries red and blue or color data. Green values are parsed by a deductive process from reading all three streams. Therefore, component video is sometimes referred to as "RGB" for red, green, blue. The component video interface is marked either Y Pr Pb or Y Cr Cb. There is some misunderstanding among technophiles as to the difference between component video marked Y Pr Pb versus Y Cr Cb, with some claiming the latter is digital while the former is analog. Experts point out that both designations mean the same thing on consumer level equipment, and both are analog. There is a digital variety of Y Cr Cb, but it is not used in consumer level products. While regular television signals, VHS tapes and laserdiscs all encode visual data using lesser quality composite video, DVDs use component video for encoding visual data. A DVD player with component video outputs, connected to a television with component video inputs, will provide a picture far superior than one using composite video connections. Component video is also a step up from S-Video in that component video is a multi-scan technology, which means it can deliver the video stream in differing modes to accommodate various frame rates for progressive-scan or interlaced televisions. Component video cables are available in different configurations. All three cables might be encased in a single sheath with triple tails at each end, or the cables might be bonded or ribboned together. Three single RCA or coaxial cables can also be used, but should be the same length and type. Increased cable quality, tips and shielding add to the cost, as will the length of the cables. Many people have numerous free cables around the house from purchasing past equipment, and some people opt to use these to connect component video. Bear in mind that standard cables are color-coded red and white, so care must be taken to match the green, red and blue jacks with the same wire on both pieces of equipment. Cabling made for component video is color-coded green, red and blue for this reason. It is also usually of higher quality and might have better shielding coverage and lower impedance levels. If results are unsatisfactory using standard cables, a cable upgrade might make a difference.
What are usb cables made of?
They contain PVC,Gold,Copper and aluminum in their various parts.
What are some of the best brands of cables for connecting my XBox to my HDTV?
Any Hdmi cable can be used to connect your Xbox to your Hdtv. However you can purchase cables both component and Hdmi made be Microsoft for connecting your system other manufacturers of Hdmi cables include Monster cables and Sony.
How do you make a homemade coax cable from a RCA cable Or any from any cable?
Simple cables for component video, composite video, analog audio and coaxial digial audio can be made with shielded cable and RCA connectors. Solder the inner connector to the middle pin and the sheild to the outer surround. Note that you will need different wire for the component video and digital audio. DVI, S-Video, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors are too complicated for the average user to make at home, and are best left to robots.
Does the Cables Unlimited 5 in Video cable work on any TV?
The Cables Unlimited 5" will work on any TV with RCA or S-Video inputs. Most televisions made in the last 15 years have RCA inputs.
How the information is transformed from one component to another component in a system?
By wires embedded into the pc boards and connectors on each component connected to the board. These connectors and wires are usually either gold plated or made of solid gold for the fastest data transfers.
What is better for HD gaming Component cables or an HDMI cable?
Component Cables should be used only when an HDMI connection is not available. You made the question harder to answer by making your component cables higher quality sounding than you did the HDMI. Good cables are felt to be important and there are poor quality HDMI cable that cost more to ship than to purchase. There are even 3D quality HDMI cables now being sold. Actually most gaming will not require the technology that is required in a Blu Ray 3D disc connected to a top of the line 3D HDTV to watch a movie on your PlayStation 3
Can you use two component cables as a audio cable?
The answer is YES & NO !1. Simply because there are 2 popular modes of the Component systemsProgressive vs. interlaced component video2. One will work and the other will create a distortion/interference since the signal is strong and that is why a 75 ohms coaxial is used.3. we had several incidents when we connected a DVD player to a TV, one time it was perfect, another we get a distorted, another we got a fuzzy black and white result, but the most severe case was when we burned out a satellite receiver (it happened at the same time we were connecting)Personally, I believe try it as a stand alone without any other device being connected to the TV.4. This should not be an issue with top brand peripherals
How can you connect a gamecube to a TV with component YPbPr and video and audio RL inputs - and will it lag?
Nintendo released a component (YPbPr) cable when the GameCube launched, but quickly stopped supporting it. Newer consoles don't have the "Digital A/V Out" port at all. If you have one of the original models with that port, you can try to track down the component video cable, although they tend to be rather expensive since there weren't many made. There are no cheaper, third-party alternatives for this cable. To when connecting the system to your TV, you will also need the original composite (yellow/red/white) cable for the RL audio, since the component cable does not have its own audio plugs. There will be no lag if the system is connected to the TV with these cables.
What are transmission cables made of?
Transmission cables are made of conductors and insulating material covering that conductor.
Are 3 jack component video and S video types of connections one can use to connect a DVD player to a television?
Component video and S-video are 2 types of connectors, although S-Video and Component connections are from TV's and DVD players quickly, in favor of HDMI connections. All new models of DVD players made after December 31, 2010 will only output Standard Definition video from the component outputs. 720p, 720i and 1080i will not be offered as output options on new models of DVD players. Note that neither of these connection types send the audio from the DVD player to the TV. You will need analog or digital audio connectors for that.
What can a HDMI cable do?
An hdmi cable helps to project the best quality picture and sound. They outperform component cables and all new tvs are made with hdmi ready components built in to their sets.
