That's a great website you gave. The prices seem pretty reasonable. I called the phone number on the website and unfortunately they haven't seen any extension cables with 4 poles, just three. The connector has three black lines on it to create four poles to support the IR Blaster in addition to the receiver. I may try a 3-pole to see if it works if I can find one locally since I only care about the remote, but I don't know how it lines up. I don't have a Fry's, but I do have a Microcenter. Radio Shack doesn't have any. Thanks for the response.
