It duplicates and boosts the input signal to 2 VGA, SVGA, or Multi-sync Monitors with a signal rate of 450 Mhz. No additional hardware is required, independent of software, cables, and monitors. This splitter can be used for monitor testing, business meetings, demonstrations, trade shows, and exhibits. It supports up to 1920 x 1200 resolution and has an effective transmission distance of 75 meters. Compatible with VGA, SVGA, and Multi-Sync Monitors, it also supports DDC, DDC2, and DDC2B. Features automatic power-save when signal is lost and provides clear images.
The Kenable SVGA VGA 2 Port Splitter is ideal for users needing to display the same content on two monitors simultaneously, such as for presentations or monitor testing. Its primary benefit is the simple duplication and boosting of video signals without requiring software or additional drivers. A potential consideration is its focus on VGA/SVGA signals, meaning it's not suitable for newer digital display interfaces.

Troubleshooting
No signal on either monitor
Ensure all VGA cables are securely connected at both ends (computer, splitter, monitors). Verify the computer's display settings are outputting to an external display. Check if the splitter is powered on (if applicable).
Only one monitor displays an image
Try swapping the cables between the two output ports on the splitter to see if the issue lies with a specific port or cable. Test each monitor and cable individually with a direct connection to the computer.
Flickering or poor image quality
Check the quality and length of your VGA cables. Ensure they are not damaged. Verify that the resolution set on your computer is supported by the splitter and monitors (up to 1920 x 1200).
Splitter not detected or recognized
