Oh, uh, this doesn't seem to be answered concisely in one post, so...

What Larry and others mentioned above is correct about there being no difference in cable spec requirements, IF you are comparing component cables with composite video cables. Don't use audio cables, these are often 50 ohm, not 75 ohm, and not shielded as well as video cables may need. They can even be twisted pair instead of coax. You can often see artifacts onscreen if you use poorly shielded or non-coax cables for video.

Electrical spec differences in 75 ohm coax cables do exist, but this won't really matter unless you have a LONG cable run. And even then they might not show onscreen.
