Infrared Connecting Blocks

In their simplest form, connecting blocks provide a convenient place to connect the infrared receiver, power supply, and emitter.

We stock over 16 (!) different styles of connector blocks. These connector blocks can handle various numbers of infrared emitters. They offer varying levels of amplification. They support two-wire, three-wire, and/or two-wire phantom power mode connections to the emitters. And some models support multiple infrared zones.
