Xbox:Video Cables

Below is a list of all OEM and high quality YPbPr/RGB third party cables available for the original Xbox.

RF Modulator

• X08-25285

Composite

• X08-47696 (Standard AV cable)
  • Same thing as what was packaged with the console.
• X08-25071 (Standard AV cable)
  • Same as above, but packaged with an additional composite RCA to SCART adapter.

S-Video

• X08-47698 (Advanced AV Pack)
  • A breakout box with female RCA composite and S-Video outputs with an S/PDIF audio output.

RGB

Please note that RGB output on the original Xbox will always output as Sync on Green (RGSB).

• X08-25275 (Advanced SCART cable)
  • Extremely rare.
• PACKAPUNCH Cable (SCART RGB)
  • Should do the same functions as the official one, aside from optical audio. Can be purchased with either composite sync or CSYNC.

YPbPr

• X08-25301 (High Definition AV Pack)
  • Similar to the Advanced AV Pack, but replaces the composite video output with YPbPr.
• X08-53570-01 (High Definition AV Pack)
  • Newer equivilant to the 25301 where the RCA cables and S/PDIF output are connected directly to the AV connector, like the stock AV cable.
• Monster GameLink 400X
  • Direct AV to YPbPR cables, just like the X08-53570-01. However, they don't have a built in S/PDIF connector like Microsoft's cables. You need an additional GameLink 100X adapter in order to add optical audio output.
• Official Xbox 360 component cables, but modified to have the AVIP connector for an original Xbox.
  • Cheapest solution for high quality component cables, but will be very time consuming to DIY. You may be able to find pre-made cables sold in your region.
• PACKAPUNCH Cable (SCART YPbPr)
• XOSVP
  • Free & open source equivilant to the X08-25301. Does not feature RCA audio output in the design, but the optical output with a DAC will have better sound quality anyway.
  • There also seems to be a modified version(?) of the XOSVP being sold on eBay as the "XBHDA".
• XEDUSA+
  • Another homebrew alternative to the X08-25301, although this one does not have an open source design. In addition to having YPbPr, it also has an HDMI output with an S/PDIF and optical COAX connector (Yellow RCA output)
