## Overview

The Hot Link XL IR Remote Extender by Microsmith boosts your remote control range up to 200 feet, enabling seamless operation of up to 6 A/V devices from another room. Featuring a highly sensitive IR receiver, blue LED confirmation, and flexible mounting options, it ensures reliable, interference-free signal transmission. Perfect for modern home theaters, it supports Cat5 cable connections for extended setups and comes complete with all necessary accessories.

## Description

The Hot Link XL IR Remote Extender is perfect for controlling audio/video equipment that is located in a separate room from your TV. As a specialized version of the popular Hot Link Pro, this system offers extended IR signal range up to 200 feet (rather than only 70 feet). It's great for remotely controlling DVD players, cable receivers, DVRs and other home theater equipment - without going from one room to the other. How It Works: The Hot Link XL system extends the range of your remote controls' IR signals by enhancing IR sensitivity for the receiving devices. The small, slim IR receiver eye and the repeater box mount near your TV, while the included power entry box and IR emitters mount near your A/V components. Because the XL system features a built-in Cat5 jumper with RJ45 jacks, the receiver and repeater can be connected long-distance using Cat5 cable (sold separately). With four times the sensitivity of standard IR receivers, the eye receiver senses even the weakest IR remote control signals, and then routes them to the repeater. The repeater transmits the signal to the emitter box and through the appropriate connected IR emitter, which then transmits a new IR signal to the A/V device. The IR receiver eye is designed for flexible mounting out of sight. Place it wherever is most convenient - behind door slots, speaker grills, cabinets or wallplates, or under toe kicks or subwoofers. FEATURES: Extends IR signal range up to 200 feet. Repeats carrier frequencies 18 to 120Khz. Blue LED confirms receipt of IR commands.

Review: Works great for me to control devices from other rooms - I purchased both the "Microsmith Hot Link XL Cat 5 Extendable IR Booster System ($100 shipped)" and the "Premium White Ethernet LAN Network Cable Cat5e Gold Plated Male to Male Connectors - 100 Feet ($13 shipped)" at the same time from desertcart. I wanted to use this in a slightly different way than shown, so, I decided to get the cat5e version to test, and if it worked as expected, I would split the receiver to another room afterwards. (I had been using a few pyramids, which really are hit or miss, which frustrated me one time too often.) I have 2 TiVos, 1 DVD player, and 1 component switch, located in my livingroom. I have 3 100' component cables running to three bedrooms. All I needed was a dependable IR transmitter/receiver. I installed 1/2 of the Hot Link XL in the livingroom, ran the 100' cat5e to one of my bedrooms, and plugged in the the other 1/2, the remote receiver, which uses no power on it's end (another plus). It worked absolutely perfectly. It is extremely sensitive and it transmits correctly 100% of the time. Just what I need. Since that worked, I went ahead to the next step. I needed to split the ir receiver to another room. Searching here on desertcart, I found an "Additional Receiver Eye for Hot Link Pro". It does not mention if it will work with the XL, but it looked like it would. I double checked with Microsmith, and they responded that it will work with all of their products. (It might increase sales if the description actually SAID THAT!) So, I bought that for about $35. What made me balk at the price for the repeater was that they also want to sell you a "High-grade mini-coaxial cable with fully shielded RCA connectors" to extend the repeater for almost $50 for 25 feet! Once I figured out that it is simply an RCA cable, I looked through all of my audio cables until I came across one that worked without any interference. (You can tell if there is interference because when you plug in the extension, there should be no activity light. If there is an activity light, the cable is no good. Excellent test.) Plus, Microsmith tech support let me know that you can use a regular coax cable with adpaters to RCA, which are available here on desertcart, or even your local Radio Shack. So, once I do get the extra remote receiver eye and splitter, I will be all set for two rooms. I really do not need the third room for the time being, but, if I ever do need to add another remote receiver, I will just buy another splitter. EXCELLENT PRODUCT. It may seem a little steep in price for some people, but, it adds NO ADDITIONAL IR INTERFERENCE, and it is a 100% rock solid performer. If you intend to spend $30-50 on pyramids, or other remote control extenders, do yourself a favor and go all out for $100 and get this. I've spent way too many years frustrated over those stupid pyramids, even going so far as isolating them in all metal tissue dispensers to reduce the errant IR emissions. Because, those errant emissions also affect the use of all the devices from your normal remote in the same room. It is really not worth the hassle. I'm just surprised I dealt with this pain for the last 5 plus years.
Review: Worked great for 6 months - Worked great for 6 months. Now I have to get the remote 2 ft away in order for it to work. I might as well walk to the back bedroom and change the channel. For this kind of money the product should have lasted longer.

### ⭐⭐ Worked great for 6 months
*by T***S on July 27, 2017*

Worked great for 6 months. Now I have to get the remote 2 ft away in order for it to work. I might as well walk to the back bedroom and change the channel. For this kind of money the product should have lasted longer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Perfect Solution for my Problem
*by M***H on March 6, 2013*

I purchased two of these repeaters to hide the AV equipment in closets. They work brilliantly. Simple to install and reasonably priced. The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars, is because one of the blue IR indicators on one of the products does not light up. The product still works, but I nearly returned the product without actually trying it because it did not indicate that it was receiving IR signals. Also, the product is not as super-sensitive as they claim. It easily picks up signals, but you can't hide the receiver as much as they claim. Overall, I would buy this product again.
