The 89259 will work as a video coax, it is close to the tech quality of the 1695A, which seems to be a little better on the picture, BUT neither one wil readily fit into an S-Video connector. This is a problem with many of the better grade coaxial cables, they are too large to fit into the S Video connector.Whittling them down to make them fit will compromise the 75 ohms characteristic impedance, and so, using a cable that actually fits into/through the barrel of the S Video connector is not a trivial detail.
If you can get by with out the barrel/cover of the S-Video connector, and can heatshrink the coaxes to the connector plug portion, and provide enough strain relief, then you might be able to use those cables.
Obviously, if using RCA's, this is a moot point.
Otherwise, some miniature coax that fits through the connector cover would be the best bet. Belden 9221 is a good candidate, very small and flexible.
