Aten Video Splitter 2 Port VGA Splitter 350Mhz, 1920×1440@60Hz, Cascadable to 3 levels (Up to 8 Outputs)

The VS92A is a video splitter that not only duplicates the video signal from any VGA, XGA, SVGA, UXGA, or multisync monitor to two outputs, but also boosts the video signal over a distance of up to 30 meters. Cascadable to support up to 8 displays, and offering bandwidth up to 350 MHz, the VS92A is ideal for broadcasting and enhancing video information to the public, monitoring your work environments from safe locations, or offering superior video for company or classroom training.

Who It’s For

If you need to send a single VGA source to two displays without signal degradation, especially in classrooms, boardrooms, or digital signage setups, the ATEN VS92A is a reliable choice. It’s also ideal for IT managers or AV installers who require a cost‑effective, cascadable solution to expand to up to eight outputs.

Real-World Use Cases

• Broadcast a presentation or training video from one laptop to two monitors in a meeting room, keeping both screens crisp and clear at up to 1920×1440 resolution.
• Extend the reach of a shared PC to two separate workstations in a control room or retail kiosk, taking advantage of the 30‑meter output distance for flexible placement.

Key Advantages

• High 350 MHz bandwidth preserves image sharpness and color accuracy, even at high resolutions.
• Built-in signal boosting lets you run cables up to 30 meters per output, and cascading up to three levels gives you a simple path to eight displays.

Practical Considerations

• Use high-quality VGA cables (shielded, 75-ohm) to maintain signal integrity, especially when cascading or running long distances near the 30‑meter limit.
• No external power is required for most setups, but check if your source can supply enough power for longer cable runs or when cascading multiple splitters.
• Plan your cascading chain carefully: each level adds a small passive signal loss, so keep total runs reasonable to avoid ghosting or reduced resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Do I need a power adapter for the VS92A? The splitter draws power from the VGA source, so no separate power supply is needed. However, if you experience weak signal with long cables, try using an active booster or reduce the cable length.
• Q: Can I use this splitter with a VGA‑to‑HDMI converter? Yes, but you must place the converter on the source side (before the splitter) or on each output. The splitter only handles analog VGA signals, so it will work upstream of any converter that accepts analog VGA input.
• Q: What resolutions are actually supported in practice? The 350 MHz bandwidth supports 1920×1440 at 60 Hz, and also handles lower resolutions like 1024×768 or 1920×1080 comfortably. Actual maximum may depend on your monitor and cable quality.
• Q: How do I cascade multiple VS92A units? Connect the output of the first splitter to the input of a second splitter (using a VGA cable). You can cascade up to three levels for a total of up to eight displays. Keep cable runs between units short (less than 5 meters) for best results.
• Q: How does it compare to similar models? The VS92A offers a very good balance of bandwidth and distance for a 2‑port VGA splitter. Compared to lower‑bandwidth models (e.g., 250 MHz), it supports higher resolutions and longer cable runs. It does not include audio breakout or on‑screen display controls, which some competitors offer.
• Q: What is the warranty and local support? ATEN provides a standard 2‑year warranty on the VS92A. In Australia, you can contact ATEN’s local distributor for support; coverage may vary by reseller. Always check the warranty terms at the time of purchase.
