56 kHz Infrared Receiver Extender for Scientific Atlanta, Arris, Cisco Explorer and Other Cable Set Top Boxes (STB)

Works perfectly with my Cisco Explorer 8640 HDC2.. Email the seller with your needs - they will respond and let you know if its compatible. I am enormously pleased with this receiver extender and it's solved my IR issues with my cable box behind a cabinet door. Works flawlessly. I tried a RF to IR system that worked occasionally. This extender, if you have an active IR port on the back of your cable box, is absolutely the way to go. Just check the compatibility listed in the Amazon listing or ask them. There's absolutely no reason you should be ordering the wrong extender from with the information this seller is providing.

Works perfectly. Plugs into the back of my Charter cable box. We have the cable box situated behind the TV, so this provides us the opportunity to keep the cable box concealed while having the ability to use the remote from across the room. Without this, the remote wouldn't even work.

Works well with my cable box. It took a couple days to figure out how to position it perfectly for my setup but now works great.The sensor is at the top of the doggle not on the broad side.

This wire is perfect, exactly what we’ve needed. I only recently found out out this. I don’t know why no one talks about it. With this wire, I can hide my big ugly cable box in a compartment. With this wire, I stick it out just a little on the side of my wall unit and my remote control works perfectly. Normally, my cabinet door has to be open so the remote eye can be detected by the box. Not anymore!! I wish I’d known about this earlier. I included a photo, and I circled it in red at the bottom. That’s the wire! Honestly you can’t even see that, unless your looking for it.I really love this wire!!

After waiting weeks for lost delivery, replacement sent, and it doesn't work as stated on Arris cable box, I checked all settings, show connected and active but does not resound to remote, supplied with box (remote work direct on box of course)

The idea is good. But it’s a pain, you have to hold the remote in different directions to change the channels

Works well with my odd-ball cisco explorer8640 HDC.This was my 3rd and final attempt using different brands/ vendors to find a wired 56KHz IR target that works well on this bastard cable box. Thank you for providing one that works!I would love it more if it had a simple LED indicator on the front to let me know when it sees an IR Input.

We switched from Dish to Time Warner Cable and the only remote they offered was an IR unit. The TV stand/entertainment center we have did not have a space to put the box in open view, so the cable box was inside the cabinet and we had to leave the door open so the remote would work. Over a year of battling with this, open door looks crappy, closed door the remote doesn't work and I found out that the cable box had a port for plugging in a remote IR receiver.. It took two minutes to set this up and it actually responds better to the remote than the sensor on the cable box. I could not be happier with this purchase.
