@IndianBoy123: May be I am wrong, but It would have been better if you have answered the question asked by the thread starter instead of putting 1 liner, that would have been helpful for everyone.

lease specify the purpose. btw the spdif cable is usually optical to get best quality using TOSLINK connectors.@iCon: The coaxial cable comes for various purposes and is different in each case. simply put any cable where there is a cable encased in the center by another is a coaxial cable. And yes you are right the wire which runs from the dish to your stb is coaxial. for that matter the legacy analog cable connection wire is also coaxial. remember the roundel connectors (those were because the cable was coaxial). Hope this explains.

If Coaxial cable is needed for S/PDIF connector, then you can use RCA type cable or Optical cable.

I am not sure where are you planning to connect it, but for testing purpose I have used both cable I mentioned above for connecting STB to Audio system, and it worked for receiving 5.1 Surround sound on both type of cables.

SVK Thanks
The reason I am looking for a Co-ax cable is to connect the Videocon D2H STB to my Onkyo 3500. The Onkyo has both optical and coax inputs. However, the STB seems to have only a Co-ax output. Correct me if I am wrong.
So what's the best place to get one that suits my need.

If you dont have optical, try RCA cable which I mentioned. It can be available at any Electrical shops for cheaper rates.
Or you can try mentioned above post, but costs Rs 570.
