Can't tell if non-gold-plated would be different, but these were a decent price and feel solid. Not used to paying for shipping but they sure came quickly! I don't know enough to be a judge on functionality, but so far so good.

Easy signal sex change device because you can't stick a BNC Male directly into an RCA Female without protection.

Good quality, meets my needs. Quick shipping.

Great price, excellent quality part.

Got the rca cable for the video to my plasma to work without having to go buy more cables.

Good priced and acceptable quality parts for general usage.
