from Herfair for just $9, providing up to 49 additional feet of control range.
The repeater includes a cable of nearly 7 feet for the IR transmitter and a 5-foot USB power cable, giving you flexibility in overall placement. Additionally, installation is straightforward. Simply connect to USB for power, whether using the back of a TV or an adapter, and then position the IR receiver near your entertainment equipment at an accessible point. The receiver is responsible for detecting the signal from your remote. Meanwhile, you can discreetly run the IR transmitter cable to a location close to the device you wish to control.
After setup, it expands the wireless range to a maximum of 49 feet with an angle of up to 45 degrees, making it more versatile than typical remote IR systems. This allows for innovative setups. For instance, you can position a cable box inside a cabinet and extend the IR transmitter to it, keeping everything hidden. Then, place the IR receiver head on an entertainment stand for capturing remote commands. Essentially, it’s a method to enhance the wireless range of your remote or improve the positioning of your compatible devices.
