Page 18: Extending Your Distance
MONITOR TYPE switch positions UP and connect a representative monitor to MONITOR 1 with cable that carries the monitor’s ID-bit leads. If you don’t have such a cable, contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500 or info@blackbox.com to order a cable that carries all ID-bit leads. -
Page 19: Cascading
To run the cable the full distance, you must not route it near motors, generators, air compressors, or other sources of electromagnetic noise. If you would like to order VGA extension cable, contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500 or info@blackbox.com. - Page 20 Chapter 3: Installation • You can cascade to more than two “layers” of VGA Video Splitters; that is, you can begin plugging tertiary Splitters into the MONITOR ports of secondary Splitters when you run out of MONITOR ports on the primary splitter. However, the more VGA splitters that come between your computer and your monitors, the more signal degradation you will get.

Chapter 4: Operation 4. Operation VGA Video Splitters provide a reliable means of getting your VGA images to wide- spread arrays of monitors: They use equalized amplification to compensate for the normal signal losses that occur when you run cable to VGA monitors at longer distances. -
