Cmple 1216-N Overview

The Cmple IR Repeater/Extender Kit is a wired system for relaying IR remote signals to overcome the normal line-of-sight limitation of infrared. It features a connecting block that an IR receiver pugs into at one end and has outputs for up to two emitters at the other. With this system you can control up to six devices in your home theater setup, allowing you to keep your home theater components hidden from view, or even operate them from another room in your house.

A dual-band IR receiver or eye plugs into to 3.5mm mini jack connector on the input side of the Repeater/Extender box. The IR receiver features double sided adhesive allowing it to mount to most surfaces and has a 10' cable. In addition, it features LEDs that provide feedback so you can be sure that it is successfully picking up your remote.

On the output side of the connecting block are two 3.5mm mini jack connectors for the IR emitters. The IR emitters are double-headed, and one is included in the kit. As with the IR receiver, the emitters have adhesive allowing them to attach to a variety of surfaces, and feature 10' cables. The emitter head can be mounted directly in front of the IR receiver on the devices you want to control, or can be arranged to create a "flood" pattern allowing you to control multiple devices stored in one area.

This extender works but only under very specific and restrictive circumstances. The remote, receiver, and emitters must be positioned just right to pass the signal. Probably too finicky for regular daily use.

question

WILL THIS PRODUCT WORK THROUGH GLASS FROM 30 FEET AWAY?
Asked by: Anonymous
The specifications says 40' so you are getting near the edge of this device's capabilities. Putting the glass up may or may not scatter the IR sufficiently. This situation is thus unknown and can only be answered by customer testing.
