I want to extend the receiver about 50' away from the receiving block. I see it has a terminal block. Can I splice in some cat5?

The best way to do this is to purchase the In Wall IR receiver and it will hook up to the terminal block using cat 5 cable. Or you can buy the 20ft extension and put 2 of them together. They are a 3.5 male to 3.5 female ext cables.

Hello. I didnt add the extension but the cable is 2 to 3m. To make it longer , u need coaxial jointer and extra cable to extend it.

I have extended the IR receiver with standard stereo 3/5mm cables and it works fine. The IR emitters only use two wires and the 3.5mm plugs are slightly different (they only have two contact surfaces on the plug instead of 3). Some work and some do not. I recommend getting 3.5mm MONO cables to extend the IR emitters.

You can get a Ethernet cable for your extension. Whatever length you need. Amazon does have them.

I would say it's 30 inches long... Extension would be tricky. It is two cables with heads like look like miniature cable jacks on your typical cable TV ports. It is wifi though, so I would imagine it is a rare circumstance in which you need to extend the receiver.

Yes u will cut and extend the ir pickup I use cat5 wire to do this orange to red. Orange/white to white. Brown to black .... im I pro installer....

You cannot do that. Extenders are for distance extending of HDMI and are meant to go directly through HDMI input and not pass through other netowk equipment.

It would be pretty really tight. i wouldn't reccomend it. You should probably use an hdmi over cat5/6 extender if you wanted to go through conduit.

I never tried to extend it much beyond the 4 feet. But please for your own sake, do not buy this waste of money! It... Does... Not....work!

As far as know you can't, you need direct cable from matriz to receiver. CAT5 cable works as a HDMI cable. Suggestion use CAT5e armored cable, any electro-frequency cuts you signal.

No. This allows you to send an hdmi signal over a cat5 cable for a far distance.

Yes, i have not tried that but do not see why it would matter how far or short the extension. unit works nicely

You would have to make your own fittings to extend the cable, but I have a good feeling that it's sixty feet for a reason. I don't think you could extend it too much further without starting to have an impedance issue and possibly not be able to clearly pickup sounds from the mic. Maybe if you extended with CAT6 you could add 50-100 feet max.

No such extension available. Probably can splice it to that length, having the right type of cable.

Length may be short, but easy to lengthen...either cut and splice or buy the spade connectors to make an extension cable. yes you can cut out the switch, its garbage anyway, and add your own. That's what I did on all of mine.

i have my receiver plugged into a usb extension cable and it works fine. the cable is around 5 feet, but i imagine it could be longer...

I use UTP Cat5e, and respect to the distance I don't have idea how much long distance of wire can it support
