Experience seamless, long-range infrared control with the Kramer IR Extender & Repeater. Built around the PT-5T transmitter and PT-5R receiver, this robust two-unit system is designed for sophisticated AV installations where centralized control of multiple devices is essential. By transmitting IR commands over twisted pair cabling, the PT-5T/PT-5R pair lets you manage several devices located far from the source, without sacrificing reliability or performance. Ideal for home theaters, corporate boardrooms, classrooms, and multi-room entertainment setups, this Kramer solution ensures your existing IR remotes can drive a whole rack of gear from a single, convenient location. Control up to five devices with their own remote transmitters and enjoy clean, interference-free IR distribution across your space.

  • Multi-Unit IR Control: Manage up to five devices via dedicated IR transmitters, enabling centralized command from one location.
  • Transmitter and Receiver Pair: PT-5T and PT-5R work together to extend IR signals across rooms, racks, or mezzanines.
  • Long-Range IR over Twisted Pair: Extend IR commands up to 250 meters (820 feet) using standard twisted pair cabling for flexible installations.
  • Local and Remote Control: Supports 2 local devices near the transmitter and 3 remote devices at distant locations, delivering true multi-zone control.
  • Plug-and-Play Integration: Designed to work with your existing IR remotes and equipment with straightforward setup for quick deployment.

Technical Details of Kramer IR Extender & Repeater

  • System composition: IR extender solution built from PT-5T (transmitter) and PT-5R (receiver) components for multi-device control over twisted pair.
  • Control scope: Up to five devices controlled via dedicated IR transmitters, enabling centralized operation from a single location.
  • Distance capability: Up to 250 meters (820 feet) over twisted pair cable, suitable for connecting equipment across rooms or within racks.
  • Device distribution: 2 local devices at the transmitter site and 3 remote devices at distant points within the same system.
  • Cable type: Twisted pair cabling required to realize the extended IR reach and reliable signal pass-through.
  • Power and integration notes: External power supplies are required for operation; standard IR remotes remain functional without modification.

how to install Kramer IR Extender & Repeater

1) Plan the layout: Decide where to place the PT-5T transmitter near your source equipment and where the PT-5R receiver will live closest to the devices you want to control remotely. Ensure the twisted pair cable run between the two units is clear of interference and can span up to 250 meters (820 feet).

2) Connect the IR emitters: Attach the IR emitters (or emitters integrated with your devices) to the IR outputs on the PT-5T so that each local and remote device can receive the IR commands. Ensure each device’s IR receiver is in a location with typical line-of-sight access from the corresponding transmitter channel.

3) Run twisted pair cabling: Install a twisted pair cable between the PT-5T and PT-5R units. Use a quality shielded or unshielded twisted pair suitable for your installation environment, and route the cable away from power lines or sources of EMI to maintain signal integrity. Maintain the maximum recommended distance of up to 250 meters (820 feet) for reliable performance.

4) Connect power supplies: Provide appropriate external power adapters to both the PT-5T and PT-5R units as required by the hardware. Verify power connections are secure and that the units power up without fault indicators before proceeding with testing.

5) Test and verify: Use the existing remote controls to issue commands to all linked devices. Confirm that each local and remote device responds as expected, and that the control signals are fast and accurate across the full range. If any device does not respond, recheck emitter placement, cable integrity, and the remote command compatibility with the target device.

6) Finalize installation: Tidy the cabling and secure both units in their mounted locations. Label each remote device and corresponding transmitter channel for easy future maintenance. If your installation includes multiple rooms, consider adding cable supports or conduit to preserve signal quality and aesthetics.

Tip: For best results, maintain a clear line-of-sight between transmitters and receivers where possible, and avoid placing the IR emitters behind obstructions that could block infrared signals. The Kramer IR Extender & Repeater is designed to work with standard remote controls and popular AV gear, enabling a cleaner, more centralized control experience without compromising performance.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What is the Kramer IR Extender & Repeater? A: It is a two-unit infrared extension system consisting of a transmitter (PT-5T) and receiver (PT-5R) that enables centralized control of up to five devices via their own IR transmitters over long distances using twisted pair cabling.
  • Q: How far can it extend IR signals? A: Up to 250 meters (820 feet) when using standard twisted pair cable, making it suitable for multi-room or rack-to-room installations.
  • Q: How many devices can be controlled? A: The system supports up to five devices—two local at the transmitter and three remote at distant locations—using dedicated IR transmitters for each device.
  • Q: What type of cable is used? A: Twisted pair cable is required to carry IR commands between the PT-5T and PT-5R units.
  • Q: Do I need special remotes or equipment? A: No special remotes are required; the extender is designed to work with standard infrared remotes and compatible AV gear, allowing you to control multiple devices from a central location.
  • Q: Is setup difficult? A: Setup is straightforward for AV professionals and experienced installers: place the transmitter and receiver, run the twisted pair, connect power, and verify operation with your existing remote controls.

Dog liked it, chewing cat did not
My dog liked it, but I actually got it for my cat that insists on chewing on everything. However, he refused to chew on this toy. He sniffed it once and walked away. So, for dogs I guess it's a decent chewy...

My dachshund loves this bone
My dog absolutely loved this bone!! He has other bones but always resorts back to this one. It’s easy for him to hold and enjoy at the same time. It is very durable.

Dogs give the Y a 10 out of 10!
It seems like all dogs love these Y bones. It is not messy and its a dog favorite. Paid for many Y bones in the store but it is a little more going to a pet store. So tried online. Didn't disappoint! Cant have enough in my pantry. 😀

My Dog Loves It, But Be Careful
My dog absolutely loves the Benebone Wishbone Chew Toy—he gets so excited every time I bring it out. It’s clearly made for aggressive chewers and is very durable, but he often ends up hurting his teeth while chewing on it. I wish it were a bit gentler on his mouth. Great for keeping dogs entertained, just watch out if your pup has sensitive teeth.

My dogs LOVE these over the leading brand!
My dogs LOVE these chew bones! They will chew on these things for 30 minutes straight. They will dig them out from the dog basket, or whine at the door if they left it outside. I ended up having to get all 4 of my dogs each their own it was so popular. The white bone in the picture is the from the leading brand and you can see which one they go for, lol. They've had these bones for 6 weeks now and chew on them daily, and multiple times throughout the day. If your dog is a chewed or puppy, definitely give these a try!
