Xantech 78400 Ir Emitter Extension Cable

Product Description

The XANTECH 78400 is an IR emitter extension cable designed to extend the reach of infrared emitters in low-voltage IR control systems. It provides a reliable wired signal path between an IR distribution block or connecting block and the emitter head, allowing technicians to position emitters precisely over the IR receiver window of controlled components. This cable is sold as a single unit and is a standard accessory in structured wiring and AV control installations where source equipment is rack-mounted or stored in enclosed cabinetry.

This extension cable is used in residential and light commercial IR control applications where the existing emitter lead does not reach the target device. Typical scenarios include home theater equipment racks, media closets, and distributed audio-video systems where IR control must be routed across longer distances. AV integrators and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of this component.

Key Features

• Extends IR emitter lead length in XANTECH IR control systems
• Compatible with standard XANTECH emitter and connecting block infrastructure
• Sold as a single cable unit for targeted replacement or expansion
• Low-voltage design suited for structured wiring environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style accessory for use within XANTECH IR control systems as an emitter lead extension component.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a low-voltage AV technician or systems integrator. Power down or disable the IR distribution system before connecting or disconnecting cables to avoid signal interference or damage to connected components. Ensure all connectors are fully seated before restoring power. Route cables away from AC power wiring to minimize interference in accordance with general low-voltage wiring best practices.
