Official Wii Component cable?

Hi guys,

Bought an Official Wii Component from somewhere on the net, arrived this morning but it looks different to the official ones I can see on the net (Might be a different version or something - no idea) couldn't spot any nintendo branding (which I'd expect to see)

Anyone who has an Official one able to confirm this for me please?

I bought an official one in the US, has the usual Nintendo branding on the plug that goes into the console, oh & it was a white cable, that looks like a third party cable to me, cant imagine Nintendo not branding it & changing the colour for the UK.

It looks like my official cable, but I'm pretty sure that had branding on. Unable to check as I'm at work.

Was it not boxed? I'd be suspect that it isn't official if it wasn't.

If no one can answer before this evening I take a look at my cable when I get home tonight and let you know if it's any different.

Didn't buy it new and it wasn't boxed

Doesnt look like the official cable i had with my Wii, the component plugs are wrong for a start (should be all one colour body) and would say nintendo on the av plug, also the bit where its splits off into the individual cables should be a square block.
