Ubiquiti UACC-Cable-IR-Receiver Infrared Receiver Cable

Bring Remote Commands into the AV Control Path Add an infrared pickup point to a supported UniFi AV installation with the Ubiquiti IR Receiver. It captures remote-control signals for forwarding through an Enterprise Audio/Video Bridge. A compact receiver head, 1.5 m cable and 3.5 mm TRS plug make it straightforward to position the pickup where the remote will be used. This is the receiving accessory for the control path, with a separate blaster used where commands need to be emitted. Highlights Capture Remote-Control Commands Receives infrared signals for forwarding through Enterprise Audio/Video Bridge. Provides the pickup end of a supported bridge IR control path. Position the Pickup Point 1.5 m cable with a 3.5 mm TRS plug. Manufacturer-specified receiver distance of 12 m and carrier frequency of 37.9 kHz. Compact Indoor Assembly Receiver head measures 20.5 × 25 × 16.5 mm. 23 g cable assembly with PVC construction and an IPX0 rating. Key Features Place the Pickup Where the Remote Is Used Position the receiver where it can capture the intended infrared commands. The cable allows the pickup head to sit away from the immediate bridge connection, helping installers choose a practical point within the room. Verify reception in the actual room layout before finalising the position. Distinguish Reception from Transmission This accessory receives commands from an infrared remote; it does not emit them towards the controlled equipment. In a control arrangement that needs a separate emitting endpoint, select the matching IR blaster as well. Planning both roles avoids purchasing two accessories that perform the same function. Work with a Defined Cable and Receiver The manufacturer specifies a 1.5 m cable, a 3.5 mm TRS plug and a 37.9 kHz carrier frequency. The compact receiver head and lightweight assembly suit indoor AV equipment positions. Its published 12 m receiver distance is a specification for planning, so test reception with the intended remote and installation conditions. Verify the Control Path During Commissioning Use current official bridge firmware and a supported UniFi Network version, then confirm that commands reach the intended endpoint. Remote-control compatibility and physical positioning both matter. The receiver adds an IR pickup function; it does not provide HDMI transport or replace the AV bridge. Summary The Ubiquiti IR Receiver brings remote-control commands into a supported Enterprise Audio/Video Bridge control workflow. Its compact pickup head and integrated cable help place reception where it is useful. Pair it with the appropriate transmitting accessory where required, and test the complete command path with the actual equipment. Frequently Asked Questions What Does the IR Receiver Do?ExpandCollapse It receives infrared remote-control signals so they can be forwarded through an Enterprise Audio/Video Bridge. It provides the pickup end of the control path rather than emitting commands towards the equipment. Do I Also Need the IR Blaster?ExpandCollapse Choose the accessories for the complete control arrangement. This receiver captures commands; the separate IR blaster emits commands from a bridge towards adjacent equipment. Where both roles are required, order the appropriate accessory for each end. How Far Away Can the Remote Be?ExpandCollapse The manufacturer specifies a receiver distance of 12 m and a carrier frequency of 37.9 kHz. Test the intended remote from the positions where it will be used, because placement and the actual installation affect reception. Which Connection and Cable Length Are Provided?ExpandCollapse The integrated cable is 1.5 m long and has a 3.5 mm TRS plug. It is listed for the Enterprise Audio/Video Bridge. The IR blaster uses a TS plug, so the two accessories should not be treated as interchangeable. Can It Be Used Outdoors or with Any IR System?ExpandCollapse It is specified for indoor use with an IPX0 rating. Ubiquiti lists compatibility with Enterprise Audio/Video Bridge; an unrelated system is not verified merely because it has a similar connector. Use supported bridge software and test the required control workflow. Read more
