Cable Matters Infrared Remote Extender Cable, IR Repeater Kit, 6ft

For years we have struggled with contolling the volume of our Sony Audio player connected to our television. Then I wondered if anyone made an IR repeater. The answer was indeed, YES. So I began looking for. Some come with nothing but wires to glue to your devices. Then I saw one that satisfied our needs. It arrived overnight. It had three comonents, a receiver, a USB plug for power, and a transmitter. Perfect. All three were labled - no instructions needed although there were instructions. My wife removed the adhesive from the receiver and placed it on the top of our 80 inch tv. The shee plugged the USB in a spare port and then removed the adhesive from the transmitter and placed it on another corner of our TV. All the wiring is behind the TV. Took us 10 minutes and it works perfectly from 15 feet away. A blue LED lights up steady when a good signal is recived and rapidly blinks if it detects a signal but not strong enough to repeat. I give 5 stars for simplicity, economy, and ease of installation. I would incluide a photo but everything is behind the tv or just poking out where it is barely visable.

Works perfectly! My wife bought a new gorgeous entertainment center but it has no glass doors or any other way to send an IR signal from the remote to the device when the doors are closed. This little product hooks up in seconds and does the trick! I have the receiver portion of this just barely peeking out from the corner of my center channel speaker that sits on top of the entertainment stand. The cord runs down the length of the speaker and behind the stand down into the stand where it points right at my AV receiver and my 4k player. One thing to note: this is not a programmable type device. It picks up ANY IR signal from ANY remote and transmits that signal to the other end. I did not realize this before I purchased this and actually ordered two of them thinking I’d need one for the AV receiver and one for my 4k player as they’re in the same cubby of the entertainment stand but on different shelves. Not so. Once I realized this I positioned the broadcast portion of the device on the inside of the door of the stand so that it can broadcast the remote’s signal to either device, depending on what remote I’m using. Ultimately I returned the unused second device and just kept the one. I sit about 12’ or so from the receiving end of the device and have had no issues whatsoever sending a signal to the device from my couch. Very cool little product that does exactly what you need it yo do. Highly recommended!

Painted our ceilings black, and suddenly the tv remote stopped working- our sound bar is tall enough to block the tv sensor while sitting on the couch, and the white ceiling paint was just reflective enough to bounce the ir light to it 🤣 Got one of these, and I no longer have to raise my hand like a grade school kid just to change the volume. It’s easy to place the receiver somewhere discreet, and the sender is under the tv ir sensor, completely out of sight. Plugged straight into the tv usb port that I never use.

It works well, but it doesn't increase the reception powers of your device. I am using this with an air conditioner which has an effective range of 3' with the remote. With this device mounted squarely at the AC receiver, the range is increased by the length of the cable, but the remote control needs to be within 3' of the new sensor. Depending on your installation you probably need one of the longer options. While this is a 6' cable, due to the nature of the T split, it ends up being less than 6'. Get one of the longer ones.

My previous Samsung tv came with an infrared extender, so I assumed when I bought a new S90C from Samsung, it would have one as well. I was wrong. I have Xfinity and to access their features use their remote instead of the Samsung remote, and the Xfinity remote uses IR to turn the tv on and off. Compounding the problem is the placement of the tv's sensor was such that I had a very narrow window for the remote to target the sensor. Short of standing right in front of the sensor, it would take several attempts to find the sweet spot. Reaching out to Samsung and Xfinity was an exercise in futility. Essentially, both companies basically said I was out of luck. Samsung even said the tv was incompatible with an extender. Fortunately I stumbled across this Cable Matters extender and thought hey, for the price it was worth a shot. The bottom line is that it was easy to install and works like a champ. I couldn't be more pleased with the results.

Easy install. Great product but beware..almost returned the day after install. Didn’t respond . Finally notice the receiver fell off the sensor so I reattached with Velcro. Works great but secure the receiver next to the infrared tv sensor. Original attaching disc to small.

This just arrived and hooked up easily. My Denon receiver is behind a cabinet door and I often need to change the sound mode (from typical Dolby Surround) for TV sports sound or for Spotify music, which requires using the Denon receiver remote. (I can adjust receiver volume using the TV remote via the CEC / HDMI connection.) Opening the door to change the sound mode is a pain, and is visually undesirable. This gadget works so well, as I can now change the receiver sound mode with the Denon receiver remote. It works 30+ ft. away (may vary for different remotes?) and at a moderate aim angle as well. It took 5 minutes to set up, if that. I do anticipate that I may have to replace the 2-sided tape on the IR receiver and transmitter blobs. I got the "6 ft." model and found that the leads are longer than expected, so it was pretty flexible to connect the USB to a nearby power strip and then mount the IR receiver and transmitter blobs where needed. I just estimated where the Denon receiver IR eye was and mounted the IR transmitter blob inside the door, opposite that area, quite approximately. I'm not sure what the IR transmitter's broadcast angle might be. A blue LED blinks on the IR receiver when activated, so you know you have triggered a change. No instructions are included, other that the diagram you can see on the Amazon site.

A very nice, extra long IR cable, easy to connect and use. This item has a very wide receiving range compared to some of the smaller ones out there that you have to point directly at. It is also very susceptible to breaking and can get caught on the bottom of furniture or speakers. I recommend using self-stick cable guides to protect it once ready to permanently put in use to keep from accidently breaking it, but is it warranted for 1 year through the manufacturer. The transmitter end is placed in front of your unit and the receiver is on the longer end with a USB connector to go to power- so you need a wall plug adapter that DOES NOT come with it, but any USB wall adapter works with it. I loved mine until I accidently broke it. It is a proprietary product. Make sure it will work with your equipment before ordering as some equipment uses a 1.5mm mini plug. You do not need anything else with it as it is a self contained unit, other than the wall adapter.

Funciona adecuadamente. Sirve para mandar la. Señal a los aparatos que tengo en un closet y muy bien. Sólo hay que posicionar bien el emisor para que no haya fallas

Ich habe nach einer günstigen Möglichkeit gesucht, um meinen Verstärker im Schrank verschwinden zu lassen, aber gleichzeitig noch per Fernbedienung zu steuern. Dieses Gerät leistet genau das. Die Installation ist ganz einfach und dank der langen Kabel auch unkompliziert möglich. Man muss nichts programmieren oder einstellen. Sobald das Gerät per USB mit Strom versorgt wird und Empfänger und Sender platziert sind, funktioniert alles auf Anhieb. Ich bin sehr zufrieden.

Ottimo prodotto, funziona benissimo ed è facile da installare

My Blu-ray player is in the room next door with the Denom AV in the media box. I was using my tv remote for my Blu-ray player but there were many instances where it wouldn’t work and I’ll need to head into the other room to use the Blu-ray remote. Nightmare. Found this as a solution and it works perfectly. Can also use it for my denom too as they are both in the same box. Very easy to install, wire is thin so easy to get through the wall to the Blu-ray player. Great value for money.

It works fine but has a giant blue light that lights up when you press a button or when it detects any kind of IR activity. Would be nice to be able to turn that light off
