Cascaded Installation

To cascade multiple splitters, use a high density DE-15 male/female VGA cable to connect any available Video OUT port on the “higher level” video splitter to the Video IN port of the lower level video splitter. You can cascade as many video splitters as there are ports available, however the signal will deteriorate as distance between the monitor and source increases.
