You can run some cat 5 to the projector location
to the location where the connecting block will
be located and attach a flasher to the cat 5 and
place it on the projector.
I was planning to use Cat 5 cable for extending an IR emitter to a remote location just as you are describing, but I sent my proposed layout to the Xantech technical support department for them to check out and they told me not to use it. Instead, they recommended using 18 AWG cable, which is much thicker than 24 AWG Cat 5. Using 18 AWG, Xantech said that an emitter lead could be extended by up to 100 feet.
However, Xantech supports the use of 24 AWG cable (and thus Cat 5) for extending IR receiver leads by up to 200 feet.
