9ft 3.5-5v 38/56kHz Infrared External IR Remote Extender Cable for HD/DVR, Cable Box, DTA (Digital Terminal Extender) mini Box, HDMI Extender Kits with Active 3.5mm IR Port

It worked like a charm!!My wife has never liked my old Sony receiver being visible. And when we purchased a new larger TV, which plays audio through the Sony because all TV speakers are junk, the Sony ended up being relocated to a place totally outside the range of the factory remote. But I really needed the remote to work so I could turn down the volume during TV ads.So I searched the Internet for a solution. One issue is that my old Sony receiver employs a 40KHz IR remote, which is less common. Since this unit is designed to work over a range of frequencies, I crossed my fingers and ordered it. I then added a jack to the back of my Sony and wired it in parallel with the internal IR sensor (Sleeve=Gnd, Tip=5VDC, Ring=IR signal).I was please to discover that this IR receiver not only worked with my old [now hacked] Sony receiver, but is more sensitive than the factory solution. So this remote sensor is now located out of human view, and still gets a reliable signal from the Sony remote signals that bounce off the ceiling.The bottom line is that with this unit, a couple dollars for a female jack, and a little soldering, I now have a discreet reliable remote control solution for my stereo & TV entertainment center.

I wanted an IR Receiver Extender to work with a Cox Mini-Box (Cisco DTA 250HD/HD-uDTA-C) and a Cox URC-2220-R remote. Thought this would be easy to accomplish but nothing is ever easy in today's technology world. The Product Information was extremely helpful and pointed out that I needed an IR IN device rather than an IR OUT device. Further, I had seen information addressing 38 kHz and 56 kHz. This device handles both. The installation was very easy - just plug it into the box. I had seen a comment about disconnecting power from the box, plugging in the extender, and then plugging the box back in. I did not see this in the limited information that came with the product but did it anyway just to be on the safe side. Everything worked as I expected it to. The product was delivered on time and I would definitely recommend it if you have an application that could use such a device.

When plugged into my Motorola cable converter box this extender has only limited function. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. If I aim my remote control directly at the cable box, response is immediate and accuarate. However, when I aim the remote at the external IR extender the blue light in the extender always show activity when I hit a button on the remote but the cable box only responds to the input from the extender about one time in four tries. Very exasperating.Update. Receievd an immediate reply from Infrared Resources after complaing about this item. After some communications with them to describe detaled symptoms of the malfunction, they determined that the software of my cable converter box was not up to date and that another style of remote IR receiver would work. They promptly sent me a different IR extender adapter (IRP-1U repeater kit) which connected in a different manner. This device works even better than pointing the remote control directly at the cable box! Very courteous customer serverce too.

I have had this IR extender in use for awhile now. I have it mounted under my sound bar in a little indent in the bar so I don't see it. The soundbar is mounted under the TV. All are mounted on the wall.I am currently using this for an older style Verizon Fios Receiver box, which I mounted in a closet to left of my TV set up. All my wires run in walls and are hidden.To date, I have had not one issue with this IR extender. It has worked as it should with no issues at all, the wire was more then plenty long for my application, but if you need to run a longer wire, you can easily buy additional items to make this product work for your application.

This was a perfect fit for my Verizon cable box. I was able to mount my cable box directly behind the TV. Then just plug this extender in and use the double sided tape that was provided to stick it to the top edge of the TV. It works perfect.

Doesn't work with Sony STR-AN1000. Pheasant supports the correct frequency but obviously it doesn't.

These work well and I love not having the box out, however, it kept popping off my TV. I replaced the adhesive and tried different duble-sided tapes with the same result. I ended up just ordering another and replacing it because I'm using it in my guest room and I had guest coming over and couldn't fuss with it anymore.

I ordered it to use with my tv entertainment system in attempt to clear all equipment (satellite receiver, Slingbox) off of the top of the converted dresser. However, my Cisco U-Verse Satellite Receivers (both old one and the new one just installed) did/do not have a port for IR plug for product's IR plug. I remedied this by ordering an IR transmitter with a USB connection as my new U-Verse Cisco receiver has the USB port. Now, the only thing on the top of the dresser is my TV. Bottom line is that I bought the incorrect IR product. I am sure if my both receivers had an IR plug port, this item would work have worked perfectly! Cheers!
