    Abstract: A testing rack for infrared cable boxes has a bottom panel and a series of opposing top arms. The bottom panel and the top arms are spaced apart by a substantially planar back panel, and each of the top arms is configured to deflect relative to the back panel to allow a cable box to be installed and removed. An emitter bar on the back panel includes a channel and a series of slots, each corresponding to one of the top arms. The slots are each located next to an IR emitter port formed in the back panel, and are sized to accommodate an IR emitter cable. The channel is sized to hold a plurality of IR emitters such that each IR emitter is visible to a cable box through an IR emitter port with the IR emitter cable extending through a slot.
