The Xtra Link 2 is the only pre-packaged, single part number solution Xantech offers. Designed to solve a specific problem, the set includes everything you need to control a remote VCR, cable box, etc. over an existing coaxial cable.The Xtra Link 2 utilizes the 291-95 IR Receiver which has greatly improved range and interference rejection. The 291-95 receives the IR signals from a hand held remote, converts them to DC control signals and passes them to the RF/IR Injector where they are mixed with the RF television signal. This combined signal is carried over a coaxial cable. At the other end of this coax the signals are separated at the RF/IR Coupler and the DC control signal is sent to an infrared emitter placed directly on the IR control window of the component you want to control.
NOTE: 17294X kits are used along with one standard 17294 when installing Xtra Links in more than one room. This avoids duplication of couplers, emitters, and coax jumper cables.
