Blustream IRCAB Stereo to Mono 12V Ir Cable

Product Description

The BLUSTREAM IRCAB is a stereo-to-mono 12-volt IR cable designed for use in infrared control distribution systems. It converts a stereo-terminated IR signal connection to a mono configuration, allowing compatibility between components that use differing IR connector standards. This type of cable is a common requirement when integrating IR repeater systems, AV distribution equipment, or control system extenders where connector pinouts do not match directly. Installation is typically performed by AV integration technicians and low-voltage systems installers working on structured media or distributed audio-video control systems.

The IRCAB is suited for residential and light commercial AV installations where IR control signals need to be passed between devices using mismatched stereo and mono 3.5mm connections. It is commonly used alongside IR emitters, IR receivers, and control system hubs to complete an IR distribution chain. Use cases include hidden-component installations where IR blasting or IR pass-through is required across multiple zones or equipment racks.

Key Features

• Converts stereo IR connection to mono for cross-compatible IR control wiring
• Rated for 12-volt IR control signal applications
• Compact cable form factor for clean rack or wall-cavity routing
• Sold individually as a single unit for targeted system integration

Compatibility

Designed as a standard adapter cable for use in 12-volt IR control distribution systems requiring a stereo-to-mono signal path conversion. Specific device compatibility was not provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage AV technicians during IR distribution system commissioning. Power down or place the control system in a safe state before connecting or disconnecting IR signal cables to avoid signal interference or equipment damage. Verify IR polarity and connector pinout compatibility with both the source and destination devices before finalizing connections. Follow applicable low-voltage wiring guidelines and local codes during installation.
