SPDIFis a Data Link Layer protocol and a set of Physical Layer specifications for carrying digital audio signals between devices and stereo components over either optical or electrical cable
SPGAis a style of arranging pins on an integrated circuit package
SPXcan be used as wireless
SRAMis a type of semiconductor memory where the word static indicates that, unlike dynamic RAM it does not need to be periodically refreshed, as SRAM uses bistable latching circuitry to store each bit. SRAM exhibits data remanence but is still volatile in the conventional sense that data is eventually lost when the memory is not powered.
SSHis a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two networked devices
