What the kit does

The Monoprice 127220 is a 12 V infrared extension kit that lets you control source equipment hidden behind walls or inside cabinets. It contains a blaster and a receiver, each with a five‑foot cable, so the IR signal reaches components that are out of direct line‑of‑sight. Installers and home‑theatre owners use it to keep gear tidy without losing remote functionality.

Build and everyday use

Both emitter and sensor are housed in compact black mouldings that sit unobtrusively on a shelf or stick to a display bezel. The five‑foot leads give enough slack for typical rack or behind‑TV routing while staying short enough to avoid tangles. A single 12 V connection powers the pair, so there is no separate supply to hide and no extra wall wart to manage.

The deciding spec

The kit operates on 12 V DC, so it must be fed from a compatible 12 V source such as the Blackbird 4K HDBaseT transmitter it is designed for. If your distribution system supplies a different voltage or lacks a dedicated IR port, this blaster kit will not function.

Questions about this item

What IR frequency range does the 127220 blaster and receiver support?

The kit passes standard consumer IR carrier frequencies so most remotes work without additional setup.

How much clearance is needed behind the 5 ft blaster head for the adhesive mount?

The blaster head is slim enough to fit behind most equipment cabinets with less than 10 mm of rear clearance.

Which step is most often missed when powering the 12 V IR kit from the Blackbird HDBaseT sender?

Connect the 12 V DC jack on the sender before linking the blaster and receiver cables, otherwise the IR path stays inactive.
