Ensigear IR Repeater Kit — IR Remote Extender 1–18 Devices

The ENSIGEAR IR Repeater Kit lets you control hidden or remotely located A/V devices with your existing IR remotes, supporting 1 to 18 devices and up to 100 feet (30 m) of range.

Keep your home theater gear out of sight without losing full remote control: this IR repeater system captures commands from your standard IR remote, transmits them across a wired link, and re-emits infrared signals to multiple devices inside cabinets or another room. It supports a broad IR frequency band and includes emitters, a dual-band mini receiver, a connection block with an Ethernet-style expansion option, and a power supply for plug-and-play setup.

How does the ENSIGEAR IR Repeater Kit work with my current remotes?

The system uses a small dual-band IR receiver that picks up commands from almost any IR remote and sends them through the connecting block to the IR emitters positioned on your devices. No additional programming is required — just wire, place the emitters, and the kit relays the signals so your original remote functions as if devices were in plain sight.

• Compatible with most A/V remotes including set-top boxes, DVD/Blu-ray players, amplifiers, and game consoles.
• Receives wide IR frequency range (20 kHz–60 kHz) for broad compatibility.
• Plug-and-play wiring; no software installation needed.
• Includes a dual-band mini IR receiver for reliable signal pickup.

What setup options and range does the kit support?

The kit supports a wired connection up to 100 feet (approx. 30 meters) with the included cabling and can be expanded farther using Ethernet (CAT5 or higher) wiring and an optional terminal block accessory. The basic package comes with four emitters and the connecting block, and you can expand to cover more devices using additional emitters (sold separately).

• Standard reach up to 100 feet; Ethernet extension possible to ~120 meters with an extra terminal block.
• Ships with 4 IR emitters; expandable to 12 (double emitters) or 18 (triple emitters) depending on emitter type.
• Terminal block connector for CAT5/CAT6 cabling when long runs are needed.
• Includes power supply and mounting screws for quick installation.

Which devices can I control and how many at once?

This 1x6 repeater configuration lets you control multiple components placed inside cabinets or another room using one IR input. It is designed for typical home theater setups — cable/satellite boxes, receivers, players, and other IR-controlled gear — and can handle multiple devices simultaneously when emitters are placed on each unit.

• Controls up to 6 devices out of the box; expandable to 18 with extra emitters.
• Works with cable boxes, satellite receivers, amplifiers, Blu-ray/DVD players, and game consoles.
• Supports devices using RCMM codes such as SKY and many Cisco units.
• Double or triple emitter configurations increase the number of controlled devices.

Is installation difficult and what comes in the package?

Installation is straightforward and requires only basic wiring and adhesive placement of emitters on the devices. The kit includes the primary hardware needed to get most home theater setups running quickly, and mounting hardware is provided for a tidy, concealed layout.

• Package contents: 1 IR connecting block, 4 IR emitters, 1 dual-band mini IR receiver, 1 power supply, 2 mounting screws, 1 manual.
• No software or drivers needed — connect, position, and power up.
• Add extra emitters or a terminal block for advanced installations.
• Adhesive emitter pads allow discreet placement on device IR windows.

Who is this for: The ENSIGEAR IR Repeater Kit is for anyone who wants to hide A/V gear inside cabinets or another room without losing full remote control: homeowners with media centers, installers building clean entertainment setups, or small commercial spaces that require discrete equipment placement. It’s especially helpful when multiple components must be controlled from a single location and when longer wired runs or Ethernet-style extensions are needed for flexibility.
