Cable Matters Infrared Remote Extender Cable, IR Repeater Kit, 10ft | USB IR Remote Blaster Cord, up to 15ft Signal Range, Not Compatible with RF Signals

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.

IMPORTANT: This device MUST be plugged into a working USB port in order to work. Most TVs do not provide power to their USB ports when the TV is turned off. Some or all of the negative reviews left by customers here who say the device does not work may be due to not having the device plugged into a working USB port independent of the TV. The device works fine for me.

This is a cheap POS.. The housing that enclosed the plastic enclosed around the IR diode it came right of. DO not Buy. Wirer showing and is intermittent. Did not take long to find out this is made like a toy. I do not even what a replacement for this POS.

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.

Great. Easy. Sturdy. Works perfect.

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

Works REALLY well. Only drawback, I need to plug into a wall charger. It doesn't pull much power, so a battery pack keeps turning off. I'm using to control a small Pattern light projector as a backdrop for musicians. ``the remote only has a short range ( and needed to be in front of it) this has sorted my dillema.

Perfetto perché avevo il decoder in cassetto riceve anche al chiuso Quello che cercavo

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

Problemlos zu verbinden. Nachteil ist, wenn der Samsung Fernseher im Stand by ist, liefert der der USB Anschluss keinen Strom.
