Genesis Model 1, Mega Drive Model 1 and Master System 1 to SCART ultra-flexible 100% shielded Fortraflex 6 ft (1.8 m) cable, Composite Sync (CSync).

This cable supports both Mono and Stereo audio. An optional 20 inch (1.6 ft, 0.5 m) TRS 3.5mm aux cable is available for front Stereo Audio injection on the Genesis Model 1 or Mega Drive Model 1.

⚠️
This cable can greatly improve video quality, however it will not completely eliminate “jailbars” due to design issues within the console. An internal RGB bypass upgrade is required to resolve this issue.

  • Genesis Model 1 (NTSC-U)
  • Mega Drive Model 1 (PAL, NTSC-J)
  • Master System 1 (NTSC-U/J, PAL)

For Use With:

Features:

  • 3.5mm (1/8″) TRS aux jack for front Stereo Audio injection.
  • Series termination resistors installed directly at the console output establish 75Ω source impedance matching the cable, reducing reflections and interference for improved RGB video quality. Many other cables place these resistors inside the SCART connector, ignoring best practice and compromising video accuracy.
  • Genuine Kemet premium 220 µF Tantalum AC coupling capacitors within the console connector provide clean, precise RGBS signals at the source, preventing unwanted DC bias along the cable, preserving accurate color, contrast and brightness.
  • Integrated sync buffer with attenuating resistor provides a problem-free Composite Sync (CSync) signal, effectively eliminating timing errors and safely conditioning sync for 75Ω level inputs on consumer devices.
  • Wired in accordance with the SCART (EuroSCART) standard. This cable is incompatible with Japan RGB 21-Pin (JP21) devices.

FORTRAFLEX CABLE

Fortraflex is a premium-grade, ultra flexible, and highly durable cable manufactured exclusively for Retro Access. Each signal line is 100% shielded with robust copper wrap to prevent signal degradation and crosstalk, maintaining clean analog video and suppressing unwanted audio buzz.

Built to a higher standard, Fortraflex features significantly thicker and denser shielding than other RGB cables. The soft outer jacket, also used in stage mic cables and official wired game controllers, ensures excellent flexibility and ease of movement.
