SPDIF cable same as coaxial cable?


Is a coaxial cable same as a SPDIF cable?  Seems they are one in the same.

Also, one reason often given for preferring coax over optical is that the addition of an LED and photoelectric receiver to the signal path cannot, in most cases, help, when the signal originated as and must return to electronic impulses. 
It’s worth mentioning that a “composite video” cable is also the same as a digital coaxial cable...same 75 ohm characteristic impedance, same bandwidth. A good AQ YIQ or Monster Silver Digital from yesteryear serves nicely...
