I can't believe I can't find this...

I have a Logitech Harmony remote control controlling all of my components. Currently they are all on show, but I want to move them all behind a cupboard.

All I need is something simple: an IR receiver on one end to place outside the cupboard, and an IR emitter at the other end to place inside the cupboard pointing at all the components. I know it will need power as well. This must exist without paying >£40 for something that seems far too complicated?

I had seen them, was hoping for something a bit more discrete. Do you know of anything a bit smaller, or is this the only real option?

Thanks for your reply!

If you put all your components in a cupboard they will probably overheat and die. Then you won't need an infra red extender.

The OP said behind a cupboard, not in one.
