Default Any difference between component cables & RCA interconnects?

A co-worker bought some RCA cables thinking they were component
cables, & when he took them back to trade them in, he found that the
package had the same wording, but arranged differently & that the
cables looked exactly the same, right down to the diameter. The
component cables were $20 more, though. Is there any difference at
all?

Thanks,

Chris

When you get component, you get three video cables matched in length. The other
cables might be one video cable and two audios (less quality).

Whether there is a difference on the screen, you tell us.

You wont see a differance between $50 mosnter component cables and cheap
audio video cables (red, white, yellow) when run short distances. Anything
over 50 ft you may want to use a bigger cable. Dont buy monster, waste of
money.

He said that he couldn't see a difference. We were just wondering if
it's a marketing ploy or not.
