Do all SNESes(NTSC/PAL) have the same av rca cables, or are they different? I really need an answer!

For the SNES specifically, the physical connector is identical, and most of the pins are also the same.
However, pin 3 supplies CSYNC on early NTSC SNES models (disconnected on later ones), while PAL consoles supply 12V (!)

tl;dr Composite and S-Video cables are identical between regions, but RGB cables are region-specific so you don't damage your equipment.
