* '''TRS''' - Same as XLR but uses a 1/4" jack with 3 connections - tip, ring, sleeve (hence, TRS). More commonly used as a stereo cable instead of a balanced mono cable.
* '''Coax''' - Looks similar to a standard RCA A/V cable, but uses a different resistance. Used to connect digital devices using S/PDIF encoding.
* '''Optical''' - Basically a flexible mirrored tube used to transport bursts of light as digital data. Used to connect digital devices using S/PDIF encoding. Not subject to electrical interference.
* '''Y-cable''' - uses a stereo jack on one end to connect to two mono jacks on the other end.
