Looks like an s-video a/v cable (http://www.amazon.com/XBOX-S-VIDEO-AV-2-1-CABLE/dp/B00005OSTJ)

The black plug is an s-video and the others are RCA plugs, one is for video and the other two are for audio (left and right).

Places like Radio Shack, Best Buy, Fry's, and the sort should have it. You could try calling first, ask them for an S-video to AV component cable.

                       The picture posted at the top of the topic is what i need; i appreciate your help though, but the one end does not have an s-cable end; the composite video end is correct, however.
