Hello,

I need to find a relay to turn on/off Monitors (12V DC 4A) with Infra Red. I intend to power these monitors thru Cat4(using all 4 pairs)..disucssed here (12V DC 4A on Cat5)

I also need to find a 12V power Distribution Module that can supply around 4 Amps per channel. Checked ElKproducts.com but couldnot find something that can supply 4Amps.

If there is such a product that can combine both the above mentioned functionality then awesome.

Please help.

Shaurya

You will need something beefy for switching the four amps via relays. If you need an IR interface I do know the Ocelot will work with an external RLY8-XA add on box, but I'm guessing this route is probably more expensive than you want...

THIS site has some cool relay control boards, but nothing I saw was IR (just RF).

Hello BSR,
This Elk can only power 3 outputs. I need something with around 8 outputs. Any other suggestion..

Great site for the realy boards. Will give them a call about IR relay. I liked your Ocelot route...Little hesitant..Read about the new product called FireCat...not sure if I should wait for it.

Found this 12 channel IR kit. $100 assembled. Any feedback?

Hello keepersg,
Great kits but too many moving parts. would like to have something basic.. Any feedback on the 12 channel IR kit I mentioned above.

Not sure what you mean by this statement:

As far as the relay/IR kit board, I'm a little nervous (just a 'gut' feel) about the relays. I mean they rate the relay contacts at 10 amps then make a statement like this:

(never use these relays with more than 5 A of current if you want them last.)

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the specs...

The RLY8-XA Applied Digital add on for the Ocelot uses Potter-Brumfield (spelling?) relays (great brand).
