It receives IR control signals from a PT-5T transmitter over twisted pair cable and repeats them to up to three remote devices through IR emitters, at distances of up to 250m (820ft). It lets a handheld remote or control system operate equipment hidden away in closets, cabinets or other rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.kramerav.com\/web\/images\/products\/zoom\/pt-5r_1.jpg\" alt=\"Kramer PT-5R receiver\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Kramer PT-5R work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PT-5T transmitter picks up IR commands on its input and sends them over a CAT 5 twisted pair cable, while also driving two local IR outputs. At the far end, the PT-5R takes the CAT 5 input and drives three IR outputs, so the system can control two local and three remote devices such as players, amplifiers or air conditioners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe system works with IR carrier frequencies of 36 to 40kHz and draws very little power from a 5V DC supply (6mA for the PT-5R). IR emitter cables such as the Kramer C-A35M\/IRE single emitter or C-A35M\/2IRE dual emitter connect the outputs to the controlled devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.kramerav.com\/web\/images\/diagrams\/pt-5t_pt-5r.jpg\" alt=\"Kramer PT-5T and PT-5R connection diagram\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Kramer PT-5R?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree remote IR outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e — Controls up to three devices at the far end of the cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 250m reach\u003c\/strong\u003e — Extends IR over twisted pair to 820ft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHidden equipment control\u003c\/strong\u003e — Operates devices stacked in closets, cabinets and other rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks with the PT-5T\u003c\/strong\u003e — Forms a five-device IR system with the matching transmitter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow power\u003c\/strong\u003e — 5V DC at 6mA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\u003ctable class=\"cn-spec\" style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed;border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:40%\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:60%\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 CAT 5 (twisted pair)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 IR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax operating distance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250m (820ft)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarrier frequency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36 to 40kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5V DC, 6mA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0° to +40°C (32° to 104°F)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e–40° to +70°C (–40° to 158°F)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10% to 90% RH, non-condensing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eKramer sells the PT-5T and PT-5R as a pair; confirm whether you need the transmitter as well.
