=== S/PDIF ===
S/PDIF is an audio-only format carried over electrical coaxial cable (with [[RCA Jack|RCA jacks]]) or optical fibre ([[TOSLINK]]).
Note that there are no differences in the signals transmitted over optical or coaxial [[S/PDIF]] connectors—both carry exactly the same information. Selection of one over the other rests mainly on the availability of appropriate connectors on the chosen equipment and the preference and convenience of the user. Connections longer than 6 meters or so, or those requiring tight bends, should use coaxial cable, since the high light signal attenuation of [[TOSLINK]] cables limits its effective range.
