One For All URC1000 Infrared IR-Receiver/Splitter

The One For All Remote Control Extender, URC 1000, is a device that allows users to control their AV devices inside a closed cabinet. It is an IR extender that works with any IR device, including Sky Q and Bose home cinema systems. The extender is easy to set up and is plug-and-play, making it convenient for users. One of the advantages of the URC 1000 is its compatibility with various IR devices, making it a versatile option for those with different AV setups. Users have reported that it works well with their soundbars, including Bose models. The extender also supports long-range control, with one user successfully extending it up to 25m using cat 6 and a choc block terminal strip. However, there are a few limitations to Consider. The extender needs to be powered by a device that outputs 5V power, such as a TV or a set-top box. While the TV doesn't need to be turned on, it should be in standby mode to power the extender. Users have also mentioned that the extender may not work effectively if there are walls or obstacles between the extender and the devices it is controlling. This means that if a cable box needs to be moved to another room, the extender may not work well due to the distance and obstacles. In summary, the One For All Remote Control Extender, URC 1000, is a handy and affordable solution for controlling AV devices behind closed cabinet doors. It is compatible with various IR devices and offers long-range control. However, it requires a power source and may not work effectively over long distances or with obstacles in the way.
