They typically are male on the inside and the wall plate is just an adapter with two female ends. If there's enough slack inside you might be able to pull enough out just to test it to see if it's the cable in the wall or the connectors... connectors can add noise, especially if they're low quality or faulty.

Not saying it is the short cables, but maybe there are higher end connectors that would eliminate some loss. Is it loss that causes sparklies? When I say sparklies, it looks like old school "snow", except more like a flurry  . Very noticeable on black screens, letter box bars, and darker scenes.

Possible I guess, though I'd bet on the 50' cable length being the issue first.
What resolution are you running at? You could try switching to an alternate resolution (i.e. switch to 720p or 1080i).
