Since the highest frequency of any component video is about 6MHz 
so just about any 75 Ohm cable should work well. 

As for Rat Shack's gold pated connectors, IMHO are a waste of 
money. The amount of gold plated does little to help connection 
loss especially at frequencies below 20 MHz. A nice sales gimmick 
to get more money.
