EVEc4 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Does anyone know the maximum distance an IR emitter can be extended? I have two IR devices 50' apart I would like to control with the same controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henniae Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 50 feet should be no problem. I have gone well over 100 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 No switch involved with extending an IR emitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I was just kidding - I am pretty sure that running it through a switch would not work as you are just using the ethernet wiring to send an analog signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
