Hello

I have a Toshiba 40L3451DN tv and have just purchased a Sonos Beam.
This tv has no arc ports and no optical port. It does have a spdif coaxial and ability to change headphone output to lineout. Is any of these options compatible with the beam and if so will I need to purchase any more equipment?

RCA is the connector type. Digital coax cables typically have RCA connectors, but unlike analog cables they have a controlled nominal impedance of 75 ohms. You can probably get away with a standard analog cable for a short run, but it’s not a great idea.

Yes I think so. But just to be sure if it's not the rca what else would it be?

RCA usually refers to analog stereo connection.  

This is the sort of thing I would have expected.  Does this look like it would fit the connection on your TV?

A cheap digital coaxial to digital optical  converter would sort it and definitely better than headphone socket.

So I need to buy coax, is this rca cable?
