RCA vs optical cable?


Are there any diferences between a regular RCA interconect cable and an aoptical cable? Can I use a regular RCA interconect cable to hoop up a transport and a dac? I understand that both cables have a 75 ohms resistance, so I suppose there is no difference between these cables. I am completely wrong? Any comments. Thanks in advance for your help.

Loomishohnson you got my question right. Thank you Kal for pointing out that RCA cables do no have an impedance of 75 ohms. I just wanted to see if I could get away not expending some money in a digital cable. Thank you for your responses!
