Quick Links

The Model CPL10 extracts or injects IR control signals when used with TV coaxial RF cable systems,
employing the patented Xtra Link™ principle.
SPECIFICATIONS
• 2 - "F"-type threaded coaxial connectors
• 1 - IR signal I/O jack (3.5mm mono mini jack)
• Dimensions: 3" x 1-1/2" x 7/8"
INSTALLATION
Fig. 2 illustrates a simple installation using CPL10 Couplers in an IR repeater system. Control of a satellite
receiver and a VCR from two remote rooms is accomplished over the same coaxial cable that carries the
TV signal. When configuring this type of system, keep the following items in mind:
1. CPL10's may be used for both injecting and extracting the IR signal on the coax at the IR receiver and
equipment ends, as shown.
2. REMOTE ROOM 1 is an example of how any 3-lead Xantech IR receiver (or keypad) may be used in
an Xtra Link type system. A CB12 Connecting Block makes the necessary connections between the
three leads of the 480-00 "Dinky Link" IR Receiver, the 781RG Power Supply and the CPL10 Coupler.
3. REMOTE ROOM 2 shows the use of a 291-10 IR Receiver and an INJ94 Injector. Use the INJ94
instead of the CPL10 any time you use a Xantech IR receiver equipped with a quick connect stereo
mini plug.

Summary of Contents for Xantech CPL10

  • Page 1 VCR from two remote rooms is accomplished over the same coaxial cable that carries the TV signal. When configuring this type of system, keep the following items in mind: 1. CPL10's may be used for both injecting and extracting the IR signal on the coax at the IR receiver and equipment ends, as shown.
  • Page 2 4. The 2-way RF splitter used in the equipment area must be a DC Passing type, such as the Xantech Model 200-00, as shown. This ensures that the IR coded pulses are passed through the RF splitter to the CPL10 to drive the 286-00 emitters.
  • Page 3 5. If an RF amplifier(s) is used anywhere in the line of coaxial cable between the CPL10 Coupler and the INJ94 Injectors (or the CPL10's used as Injectors), you must use a Xantech BYPASS94 Kit to route the IR control signals around the amplifier(s) as shown in Fig. 4.
