Digital cable v. standard interconnects


This may sound somewhat naive, but what is the difference between a "digital coax cable" and standard RCA-type interconnects? Is it truly necessary to connect a digital source with a digital cable, or will any decent IC work as well?

Van den Hul carbon cables are said to be usable as digital cables in their literature. I use the Second (shielded version) as interconnects. I tried one as a digital cable but much preferred my Cardas Lightning digital cable.
