The Gefen EXT-RMT-EXT-IR is an IR remote extender that allows the user six feet of cable to extend remote distance. The IR receiver connects to the HDTV switcher; this gives the ability to control the switcher not only from an extended distance but, from a location out of the site of the main switching unit as well.

I bought this product to relay my remote controllers signal to my cable box. It did not work. I tried the fix suggested by the first reviewer with no luck. I eventually called Gefen and was told that it is only compatible with their products. So make sure this is the part you need!

Comments about Gefen EXT-RMT-EXT-IR Infrared Extender - Extends IR Remote Capability:
I used it to control my TV cable box with the remote, even though the box is inside a wooden cabinet, It didn't work at first, but cutting the cord and swaping the two wires to change polarity, did the trick nicely. Do reconnect the bare ground wire too.
Needles to say that your TV box must have a mini-phone IR jack available or major box surgery is required.
