It APPEARS that from my own reading into IR receivers that generally the industry uses 3 conductor 12volt powered receiver "eyes" for IR signal reception from remote controls.
So, what is known about the input specs on the IRTrans Ethernet?
Voltage?
Tip, Ring, Sleeve (V+/Sig/Gnd)?
Does the IRTrans supply power to the input jack?
Would the IRTrans input need to be externally converted for a 12 volt receiver eye?
Is there an oscillation or pulse conversion necessary?
Does the receiver for the input jack have to be a non powered eye?
If possible, I have settled on this link below as a receiver because it has the best frequency range (30 - 120kHz) and pickup angle (130degrees) with a reporting LED for the price. I have to insert the receiver into a low voltage Decora style wall box which already has COAX passing thru in the back of the box and so this unit is only 1 inch deep and will fit the job.

I own an IRTrans and use iRedTouch and now I need to adapt it to relay my remote controls from the TV room wired in about 20 feet away behind a wall to a closet.
