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

• Part number is X08-25285.

Composite

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

S-Video

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

RGB

• Advanced SCART Cable
  • Part number is X08-25275.
  • 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

• High Definition AV Pack (Breakout box)
  • Part number is X08-25301.
  • This is similar to the Advanced AV Pack, but replaces the composite video output with YPbPr.
• High Definition AV Pack (Cable)
  • Part Number is X08-53570-01.
  • This is a newer equivilant to the X08-25301 where the RCA cables and S/PDIF output are connected directly to the AV connector, like the Xbox 360's HD 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.
• Psyclone branded component video cables
  • Another cable similar to X08-53570-01, but this time the optical audio port is built into the cable.
• 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.
  • A nice aftermarket shell exists for this solution which includes a method of using the optical audio output from the original connector.
• 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 (Original)
  • Not sold anymore.
• VEDUSA
  • 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 a RGBHV/RGBS VGA port with an S/PDIF and optical COAX connector (Yellow RCA output).
• XEDUSA+
  • Just like the VEDUSA, but replaces the VGA port with HDMI.
