HDMI Splitter ATEN VS1808T-AT-G

The ATEN VS1808T-AT-G HDMI Over Cat 5 Splitter distributes a single HDMI source to up to eight displays using Cat5e/6 cabling. Designed for professional A/V installations, the unit supports up to 1920 x 1080 resolution and fits into a compact metal housing (437.2 mm × 157.8 mm × 44 mm). When used with compatible receivers such as the VB802 repeater or the VE800R receiver, the VS1808T can extend transmission distances: up to 60 m per segment and, when combined with VB802 and VE800R units in cascade, up to 300 m. Power consumption is 7.77 W and the splitter requires a 5.3 V AC input.

Advantages

The VS1808T offers distribution of one HDMI source to eight displays over Cat5e/6 cable while preserving 1080p video quality. Its durable metal housing and compact footprint make it suitable for rack or shelf mounting, and compatibility with VB802 and VE800R receivers enables long-distance transmission and cascaded expansion. The unit has low power consumption and straightforward connectivity for professional digital signage and multi-display setups.

How to use

Connect the HDMI source (player, PC, media box) to the VS1808T's HDMI input, then run Cat5e/6 cables from the splitter's outputs to compatible receiver units (VB802 or VE800R) located near each display. Power the splitter and the receivers using their respective power supplies. Configure displays to the HDMI input provided by the receivers; the system will mirror the source on all connected screens. For longer runs, insert VB802 repeaters as needed and follow manufacturer cascade limits.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cables and limit each segment to the recommended 60 m unless using VB802 repeaters and VE800R receivers for extended distances (up to 300 m in cascaded setups). Verify cable terminations and use surge protection in environments prone to electrical interference.
