DIGITAL CABLES
I've used several different S/PDIF coax/RCA/7-pin digital cables. For now, I use a Radio Shack (!) cable that is sturdy and so far bulletproof. Go figure!
Canare (http://www.canare.com (http://www.canare.com))
Digiflex Gold 75ohm
I don't use this cable, but I must say I've read excellent reviews about all Canare cables. FWIW, I really like my Canare interconnects on my home stereo system.
Radio Shack (http://www.radioshack.com (http://www.radioshack.com))
42-2682 | Shielded Digital Audio Cable. This is the 12' cable, I have a 3'. Sturdy!!

IDL100 | Comes in various lengths and popular among tapers.

DIGITAL SPLITTERS / BARRELS / ADAPTERS
I'm sure there are others out there, but I haven't seen them mentioned much.

A YM2F-B | 1 male > 2 female RCA
Vampirewire
90A | right angle RCA adapter

Radio Shack also carries splitters and barrels similar to above.
