Aggregated specification data identifies the Chunghop Silicone Remote Cover as a 2.5mm thick high-tensile elastomer sleeve designed specifically for the DirecTV RC7x series. The material utilizes a phosphorescent infusion—typically Zinc Sulfide or Strontium Aluminate—to provide passive visibility. Technical analysis of the mold geometry confirms precise cutouts for the IR emitter and the asymmetrical "coke bottle" profile of the Genie series remotes. This is a purely mechanical accessory intended for impact dampening.
Material science reports indicate the silicone has high surface energy, which may lead to the accumulation of hair and lint, potentially obscuring the phosphorescent particles. The chassis functions as an impact displacement layer, protecting fragile plastic battery clips during kinetic events on hard surfaces. Internal geometry analysis reveals this is a "shared tooling" product produced by the Chunghop ODM for multiple retail brands.
- Impact Displacement: Mitigates mechanical stress on internal battery housing during drops.
- High Friction: Reduces the sliding coefficient associated with the OEM plastic chassis.
- Signal Transparency: 2.5mm wall thickness does not attenuate 433MHz RF or IR control signals.
Performance metrics indicate the glow effect follows a logarithmic decay curve and requires direct light exposure to function; it will not generate light in prolonged darkness. Technical data suggests that silicone "creep" or stretching may occur after 12 to 18 months of use, potentially compromising the friction fit. This SKU does not include integrated slots for tracking beacons.
