IR Remote Repeater advice?

[Sound P.]

Thinking to buy this IR Remote Repeater to control A/V equipment. I am wondering what's your idea to hide those cables if you happen to have a IR remote control as well? Does it really work well if the devices are put behind a closed cabinet or in other room? Is it universal and works with URC MX-450? Thanks.

I've used IR repeaters for years and haven't had very many issues. ( plasma displays used to cause some) it's a solid option for control. Remember to bring the or cables over the top of the electronics not under and I used a glue gun to tack the them down .

Yes indeed, the whole idea and purpose of an IR repeater is for situations where the equipment isn’t up front at the TV – behind or to the side of the seating, in an enclosed cabinet or in another room . And they don’t care what the remote is, as long as it’s an IR remote.

Wow..
I have no idea about that product looks good but no brand...
In our AV install biz we use alot of Xantech repeaters which part of CoreBrands who own Niles, Elan, SpeakerCraft, Panamax. That mentioned URC remote is top notch but I cannot validate the posted repeater.. But then again its cheap and Amazon has a liberal return policy..

Just my $0.02...

Haha, M Code, thanks to those replies and now i'm decided to give it a try. Yeah, it's cheap and Amazon has a liberal return policy.
