Review on πŸ“‘ Infrared Remote Extender Cable by Cable Matters - 10ft IR Repeater Cable by Eric Nallamothu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't block your IR sensor

Fits me perfectly. Reading the negative reviews, one might think that the installation can be a bit confusing due to the lack of instructions. Some users can stick double-sided tape on the side of the transmitter directly onto their device's IR sensor. If you look closely at the end of the transmitter you will see a SMALL red dot with a hole at the top of the transmitter head. You must attach the extender to the device so that this red dot with a hole goes directly over the IR sensor and NOT on the double sided tape. Some also complained about the lack of a power adapter. Most modern TVs have a USB in/out connector that powers them, but any regular USB AC adapter can power them as well. I don't put the receiver on top of the TV, I put it on a stand underneath it and I don't need anything to hold it in place. But if I did, regular double sided tape would work just fine. If I didn't try that, I'd have to move the receiver to a new location, with all the rewiring that entailed. best ten bucks i've spent in a long time.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Some small things
