Another name for digital optical connections is TOSLINK connections.
TOSLINK is short for “Toshiba Link” since Toshiba was the first company to standardize the technology.
Digital optical connections only transmit audio.
These types of audio signal formats require the use of HDMI connections.
However, using RCA-style connectors instead of using light to transfer audio signals, data moves via traditional wire.
The majordifference between coaxial and optical cablesis that the former offers higher bandwidth.
Coaxial connections are also more sturdy, but they are prone to electromagnetic interferences.
