2.5mm & 3.5mm Cables
Audio cables come in a variety of shapes and sizes. One of the most popular audio cables used today in the computer, computer peripheral & audio/video industry is the 3.5mm stereo cable. Its popularity continues to increase because of its compact size and because it works well with today's smaller electronic devises. It can sometimes be easily confused with its less used, smaller cousin, the 2.5mm connector. Both these connectors are available in a variety of conductor sizes. Please see the pictures below for a better clarification.

Toslink Cables
Toslink and digital coax cables are the next generation in audio transmission. Rather than carrying an analog signal, toslink and digital coax cables carry a digital signal. Furthermore, toslink cables transmit a digital signal over fiber optic cable.

Digital Coax Cables
Digital coax cables carry a digital signal much like toslink cables, but run the signal over coax cable instead of fiber optic cable. Digital audio transmission is considered superior over the traditional analog format because there is less possibility of signal degradation over the cable run. Digital Coax cables use a RCA connector and are typically colour coded blue.
