This product is hard to find at local retail stores so when I found it online I was delighted. The seller got it to me on time and for a reasonable price.

I bought this to connect my Blu-ray player to my home stereo, which only had a coaxial digital input. Bought this, along with a coaxial audio cable, and a optical digital cable. Setup took 2 minutes and I now have full DTS Surround sound in my room! Couldn't be happier!

This little Cables to Go 40019 Optical to Coaxial Digital Audio Converter does everything it's supposed to do and it does it perfectly.
I have an unusual situation: my Yamaha RX-Z9 audio/video receiver is placed on the top shelf of a custom-built component stand. It has to be there because it requires clearance of 12 inches on top and 8 inches on each side and the back. This is for proper heat dissipation. It gets HOT! (Do you think anyone mentioned this at the dealer's or in ANY review - and there were lots of them - of this item before I bought it? Yeah, right!)
As I have about thirty gazillion wires back there and, to access them, I have to climb on a ladder and physically turn this (66 pound) receiver 90 degrees or so, any TOSlink (optical) cables I use tend to fall out when I turn the unit back to face the front. This is because the optical cables do not have a robust connection. Digital coaxial cables, with their RCA-type plugs, DO make a good solid connection to a receiver.
This little converter comes to the rescue!
I bought a ATSC / QAM (HD) / NTSC (Pass-through Only) Tuner Receiver Box which has only an optical output for digital sound. Having now attached a short optical cable to this converter and a digital coaxial cable from the converter to my receiver, I can tell you that the (Dolby surround) sound is exactly the same as when I had the optical cable directly attached to the receiver (and before it fell out EVERY TIME when I turned the receiver back!).
It comes with its own AC adapter and it takes up very little room. Placement in non-critical. As some others have written you MUST make certain that you buy the correct converter for your needs. In my case I needed to put an optical cable INTO the converter unit and run a digital coaxial cable OUT from it to my receiver. This company also makes a converter which does the reverse, digital coaxial cable IN and optical cable OUT for those who require that.
At its price, it can't be beat and I recommend it highly.

I have been trying for some time now to figure out what I needed to convert the Optical Audio out on my new HD TV to my Philips Surround Sound System. My TV unfortunately did not have a HDMI output despite having 4 HDMI inputs. The Video out was handled by a set of Component Video Outs.
I think my main problem was not knowing the correct technical name for all the jacks. As it turns out the TV optical jack is generally called a TOSLINK - The Philips unit had a Digital Coaxial Input as well as standard RCA sort of inputs. I wanted to maintain a high quality audio signal so I found this device which has allowed me to use the TOSLINK Optical Output on the TV and connect it to the Coaxial Digital Input on the Philips.
I bought this Toslink cable for the tv out
Mediabridge - Toslink Cable - Optical Digital Audio Cable - 3ft
and this Digital Coax Cable for the philips in
Belkin PureAV AV20100-03 3-Foot Digital Coaxial Audio Cable
Everything worked perfectly and took about 30 seconds to hook up.
Note that this item requires a power plug.

This converter works great for me. I had a very old receiver that inputs only coax, and my PS3 and satelite receiver outputs optical, so I convert the optical to coax, and now get surround sound on PS3 and TV.
