Video splitter ATEN VS-82 — 2‑port VGA output, HDB-15 connectors, max 1920x1440, silver

The ATEN VS-82 is a compact 2-port VGA video splitter with HDB-15 connectors that duplicates a single VGA source to two VGA displays. Housed in a silver metal case (114.5 × 87.5 × 33.3 mm), it supports a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1440 and can transmit stable video signals over cable distances up to 65 m (maximum operating distance), making it suitable for presentations, classrooms and multi-monitor setups. The unit requires 9V DC power and consumes 1.35W.

Advantages

The VS-82 duplicates one VGA input to two identical VGA outputs while preserving image quality up to 1920 x 1440. Its metal housing provides a durable, low-profile installation option that can be mounted on a wall or placed out of sight. The splitter supports extended cable runs and can be cascaded with compatible ATEN splitters to increase the number of displays without complex configuration. HDB-15 connectors ensure compatibility with standard VGA cables and legacy display equipment.

Suitable for

• Classroom and lecture hall displays
• Business presentations and meeting rooms
• Retail or exhibition multi-monitor signage
• Simple AV setups requiring duplicate VGA outputs

• Dimensions: 114.5 × 87.5 × 33.3 mm

How to use

Connect the VGA source (for example a computer) to the input HDB-15 port, then connect up to two VGA displays to the output HDB-15 ports using standard VGA cables. Plug in the supplied 9V DC power adapter and power on the splitter. The device will duplicate the input signal to both outputs automatically; no software configuration is required. For extended installations, use high-quality VGA cables and verify cable length limits to maintain image integrity. When cascading multiple splitters, follow ATEN’s cascade topology and verify that overall signal distance and display counts remain within recommended limits.

Usage recommendations

To achieve the best image quality, use shielded VGA (HDB-15) cables and keep individual cable runs as short as practical; if running cables over long distances, test the signal at full resolution. When connecting legacy displays, check display supported resolutions to match the splitter output. For installations with many displays, cascade up to three levels of compatible ATEN splitters and confirm power and distance considerations for each stage.
