I'm looking to buy some covers/noise blockers for my Denon X4100w.

I am aware of these Audioquest noiseblockers but not sure if you can use them for coaxial/composite/component inputs or just RCA's? Also I'd need ~~40 by my count for all the unused RCA/Composite/Component/Coaxial ports so the Audioquest ones get pricey quick.

I also found some HDMI port plugs but didnt know if there was a better product out there or not. Looking to basically cover all the unused ports to keep them looking nice and dust free....

Might use some of the cheap silicone ones for my computer and htpc as well just to keep the dust out...

    Do you need noise blocking ones or do you just want to cover the connector to protect it from dust/dirt.
    I use the vinyl caps that are used for vacuum ports. You can get them at any auto parts store or hardware store. These do the job and are cheap.

    Ivan:

    I just spent about an hour on that site lol.... Found some cable routing stuff I hope I can make work... provided I can buy in smaller quantities than 100 packs of 100 each lol...

    Couldn't locate any RCA covers, but thats fine.

    I guess I'm just not sure if I need the noiseblockers for JUST the RCA inputs, or also the video ones I'm not using (Composite/Component)....

    Thanks @F1nut !

    Those look like just the ticket, and it covers all the outlets with some extra left over for my integrated upstairs!

    Now to see if there is something similar for HDMI ports, or just buy those cheap plugs to cover the outlets.

    Ended up buying the Apollo-AV ones suggested by Jesse @F1nut . 58 bucks for 50 EMI/RF covers works great. I really only need 42 to cover everything, which leaves me some upstairs for my integrated as well.
