Looking for an infrared extension, which can transmit the signal of my remote control over large distances possible wired, I came across the IRV-200, you can still mathematically 3.2m bridge (1.2 m cable from the receiver for box + 2 m from the box to the transmitter). For this to work so I had the box but must place in the center of the joint. Fortunately, use this device to standard cable connections and so I was able to connect the receiver -> box by means of a conventional 3.5-jack extension from the supermarket to extend by 5 m. Is to note that the extension of the transmitter could be more difficult because of this a 2.5-inch (?) - Used plug. Thus, the receipt of an infrared signal serves, located at the box red diode probably remain with such a configuration, not only with me to a place where they can not be seen. However, one would like to the admittedly ugly box well anyway rather hide, so that only the small, shapely receiver in sight.
Otherwise, this system does exactly what it should: It directs the infrared signals reliably - with me - in the next room lying.
