Vanco 280745 Ir Over Coax System

Product Description

The VANCO 280745 is an IR over coax system designed to extend infrared remote control signals through existing coaxial cable infrastructure. This type of system allows AV technicians and low-voltage installers to control IR-compatible equipment located in a separate room or cabinet without running dedicated IR cabling. The signal is transmitted over the same coax run used for video distribution, reducing installation complexity and material costs. It is well suited for professional AV integrators and skilled residential installers working on distributed media systems.

The 280745 is used in residential and light commercial AV installations where IR-controllable components such as satellite receivers, cable boxes, media players, or AV receivers need to be operated from a remote location. It is particularly useful in whole-home audio and video distribution setups where source equipment is centralized in a rack or closet and controlled from multiple viewing areas over existing coax wiring.

Key Features

• Extends IR remote control signals over standard coaxial cable
• Eliminates the need for dedicated IR extension cabling
• Supports centralized AV equipment placement with remote IR control
• Suited for multi-room and whole-home AV distribution applications
• Single-unit quantity per package

Compatibility

Designed for use with IR-compatible AV equipment in distributed coaxial cable systems. Consult the manufacturer documentation for specific device compatibility and coax impedance requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed AV integrator familiar with coaxial signal distribution systems. Power down all connected AV equipment before making coax connections. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and any applicable NEC guidelines for signal cabling. Do not route IR emitters or receivers near sources of strong RF interference that could degrade signal reliability.
