No usb that you have to plug in either. The optical connection is a nice bonus. I was using a component cable connection that also had s video and rca connections along with optical (not the original xbox branded) and the color was sometimes off. This hdmi connection cleans up the mess of cables, color is coming in great, tested the optical connected to the speaker you see and hear. Worth it being older consoles are more fun and newer TVs are dropping the older RCA connections. Ended up getting dreamcast and ps2 hdmi adapters from Kaico as well and all work. Haven't pulled trigger for the gamecub yet. But all my stuff can be played with hdmi now. Quality feels like a solid build. Tried to load halo, but limited to 1 video Review: Buy this if you're still playing on composite - I bought this because I found my old Xbox in storage it had been a while since I played any retro consoles so I wasn't expecting the footage to be so blurry when I I tried playing split screen on Halo. When looking for solutions (because there's no why I'm buying a crt) there was a cable I eyed but it was nearly double the price of this. I gotta say it's night and day on my tv I can actually see people from afar and read text that would normally be a blurry mess on split screen. It is important to note that a majority of the games are still playing on 480p quality (since that's max some games can do check on the back of your game case) but since they were originally on composite it made it a blurry mess this product sharpens the image plus enables the full screen option and 1080i option for games that support it ## Features - Dedicated Xbox HDMI Adapter - Supports all Original Xbox output resolutions (480i, 480p, 720p & 1080i) - Xbox Original Component Cable Quality Display with HDMI Output - The best Original Xbox AV Cable available - Xbox HD Link Cable. - Easy to use Original Xbox Component cable to HDMI - Plug and Play Original Xbox Video Cable to HDMI Converter - Durable Original Xbox HDMI converter - Correct and Vivid Colours : The Kaico HDMI cable for Xbox converts your console's analogue component signal into pure, digital HDMI with no transmission loss. - Original Xbox HDMI with Toslink Port - The new Xbox HDMI comes with an optical port for Dolby digital 5.1 support ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B087JPQBZW | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,949 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #95 in Xbox Accessories #3,137 in Home Audio Accessories | | Brand | Kaico | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | TVs, Television, xbox | | Connector Type | HDMI | | Current Rating | 1 A | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,127 Reviews | | Finish | hdmi | | Item Dimensions | 2.95 x 1.57 x 0.79 inches | | Item Weight | 0.13 kg | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 2.95 x 1.57 x 0.79 inches | | Manufacturer | Kaico | | Mfr Part Number | Kaico Xbox HDMI | | Model Number | Kaico Xbox HDMI | | Nominal Power | 5 watts | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Specific Uses For Product | Xbox | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Type | Limited | ## Product Details - **Color:** black - **Compatible Devices:** TVs, Television, xbox - **Connector Type:** HDMI - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 2.95 x 1.57 x 0.79 inches - **Specific Uses For Product:** Xbox ## Images ![Original Xbox HDMI Adapter, Xbox2HDMI with Toslink Optical Audio | Supports 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i, no extra power needed, component-quality video, and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nOISTsgTL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How about the audio? Does this cable pass thru Dolby Digital?** A: Only stereo gets passed through my tv to my sound bar. Others have said in reviews that it does if you connect the hdmi out straight to a receiver but Idon’t have one to test that but I don’t think it truly does. **Q: Does it work on xbox one s and how do you hook it up?** A: It only works with the original Xbox console. the one from 2001. It doesn't work on the Xbox One S. **Q: Flickering screen black to Xbox** A: Are you saying that this is what happens to you? Or are you saying that you're worried that this might happen? Well it works perfectly fine so if it does happen check the connection reboot the Xbox or try a different input or try a different output all together like a computer monitor or laptop that has HDMI or see if there's a special setting on your TV that needs to be set to Old School settings like 4x3 or turn off HDR because maybe it's trying to push it too hard and it can't go that far because all it is is taking an old signal and bringing it to a modern TV it's not enhancing it in any way to my knowledge **Q: Some kaico adapters (Dreamcast) only display 4:3 picture. Can the Xbox kaico adapter display 16:9 picture?** A: Mine displays 4:3 on 480p and 720p content and not 16:9 like my pound cable did. Both of these adapters use the same garbage analog to digital converter chip, which means too much noise in the image and even odd incompatibilities not present in the HD AV Pack. Pairing this with the mClassic fixes the 4:3 issue but doesn’t address the noise that these HDMI adapters produce. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works on 1080p and 4k tvs *by B***2 on June 28, 2026* It works great.
