    hopefully should be a quick one.. i dont have a multimetre as of the now and have just cut open a s-video cable to find 4 wires (as expected)

    I need to solder these up to an s-video connector to extend my graphics card and was wondering if the wiring colours are standard. i would normally have used a multimetre but there is not one to hand.

    Yellow
    Black
    Red
    Green

    as a guess i would put the yellow and black as the Y-Gnd and C-Gnd and the green and red as the Y and C, although i know not in which order - and its only a guess.

    anyone out there know? or is this just random coloured cable :wallbash:

    i have one red and one black too.. but with a yellow and a green one.

    think it will do any harm to anything if i got them the wrong way round?

    there arent many cable color standerds for molded cable, even the same brands with the same SKU number sometimes have diffrent cable colors. but i dont think it would do much harm to try, just unplug it quickly. there is no high level voltage in S-Video, just 3 signals and a ground
