Easy question: What kind of cable is used for digital audio out..

[IamDavid]

My old cable box had optical out for digital cable now my new one doesn't. It just has a digital out jack that looks like a nurmal rca and my receiver has the same.. What type of cable is needed?

Digital coax cable.

However, any RCA cable will do as long as it meets the correct resistance specs (75 ohm).

For example, a composite video cable will work fine (the yellow cable out of the yellow/red/white set).
