What is an IR extender?

An IR extender cable is an Infra-Red Eye Extension to instead of pointing the remote control directly at the TV, you can point the remote directly toward the IR Eye sensor instead, giving you a much greater range and more versatility with the remote controller features.

What is a wireless IR remote extender?

This wireless IR extender converts the IR signal into an RF signal at 433.92 MHz, for transmission to the receiver unit, up to 100 meters away, through walls, doors, ceilings, and floors, or whatever.

Are all IR extenders universal?

All of our IR Extenders are dual band and should work for most devices. Here are some questions you should be asking and a few recommendations for those key factors in setups.

HOW FAR CAN TV remote control?

about 30 feet
Since light is used to transmit the signal, IR remotes require line-of-sight, which means you need an open path between the transmitter and receiver. This means that IR remotes won’t work through walls or around corners. They also have a limited range of about 30 feet.

How do I know if my remote is RF or IR?

If you are able to see a light coming from the front of the remote, you have an IR remote. If you do not see a light, you have an RF remote.

What is RF repeater?

Also called a cellular repeater, RF signal repeaters use a three-part system to capture weak signal, and then amplify, or repeat that signal to strengthen it.

How does this remote extender work?

An extender works like this. The remote transmits the ‘button press’ information on an RF carrier (radio waves) The extender receiver receives some of the RF carrying this information. It removes the ‘button press’ information from the RF carrier. It now retransmits this same information but via the IR light beam.

Does TV remote controller use radio waves?

Most remote controls send signals using infrared radiation (which is a kind of invisible red light that hot objects give off and halogen hobs use to cook with), though some use radio waves instead. If you look at the top of your remote control unit, you’ll see there’s a small plastic light-emitting diode (LED) where the infrared radiation comes out. Now take a look at your TV or video.

What is a remote control extender?
