ATEN 8-Port VGA Video Splitter (300 MHz)

The ATEN VS98A-A7-G is an 8-port VGA video splitter that duplicates a VGA, XGA, SVGA, UXGA or multisync video signal to eight outputs while boosting the signal for reliable transmission up to 30 meters. With support for resolutions up to 1920 x 1440 and a bandwidth of up to 300 MHz, the unit is designed for multi-display setups where consistent image quality is required. The product features a durable metal housing, compact dimensions (75.1 mm × 200 mm × 44 mm), 9V AC input and low power consumption (5W).

Advantages

The VS98A duplicates and amplifies a single VGA source to eight outputs with stable signal integrity and supports cascading to expand to larger installations. Its 300 MHz bandwidth and support for high resolutions ensure clear images, while the metal housing and compact size provide reliable, space-efficient installation. Low power consumption and extended transmission distance make it suitable for presentations, classrooms, monitoring stations and public displays.

Suitable for

• Presentation rooms and lecture halls
• Retail and public information displays
• Video walls and multi-screen demonstrations
• Remote monitoring stations and control rooms
• Corporate and classroom training setups

How to use

Connect the VGA source to the splitter's input port, then connect up to eight VGA displays to the output ports using quality VGA cables. Power the unit with the supplied 9V AC adapter. If more displays are required, cascade additional VS98A units by connecting one of the outputs to the input of the next unit, observing signal routing and cable-length limits to maintain image quality. Adjust display settings on connected monitors as needed to match resolution and aspect ratio.

Recommendations

Use high-quality shielded VGA cables and keep individual cable runs under 30 meters to preserve signal fidelity. When cascading multiple units, test each stage for image quality and avoid exceeding the recommended total cascade depth to prevent degradation. Place the unit in a ventilated area and secure the metal housing to a stable surface.
