The IR Extender and the IR Repeater Box are perfect for controllingsource devices over long distances using CAT5 Cable.
By using the built-in IR Receiver of the IR Repeater, users are able tocontrol up to five sources (with the original remote controls) at thesame time at a distance of up to 250 m.
There are no space limitations with these devices, which means even
if the sources are in a different room or even another floor than thedisplay, the performance stays the same.
The IR Extender and the IR Repeater Box give users an easy andconvenient way to control their desired source. If however, users only
wish to control sources in the same room then the IR Repeater Box will
be enough to control up to 2 sources.
The IR Extender Box is designed for longer distances and extra source
device control than the IR Repeater Box.
