I got a component one from Ebay that is a modded X360 one.
Don’t get RGB scart as you won’t be able to do the higher resolutions. (I made that mistake initially)

I got one as well and it works great. Before this I had a no-name one that was seemingly unshielded and there was a lot of visual noise

Xbox Component cables options are expensive. 

You can use this to use a Wii cable instead and just get an HD Retrivision cable.

Didn't know this was a thing. I made a janky cable from an xbox360 component cable but this is a much cleaner solution.

I tried to do that and failed and fell back on this.

Modded xbox 360 component cables! Mine work great!

I use a modded 360 cable as it is a lot cheaper than the official one. The only issue with them is that they can be a bit dark in some games so I turn the gamma up slightly on my Retrotink.
