ATEN VS162 video splitter DVI 2x DVI-I

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

ATEN’s VS162 is the kind of simple “just make it work” splitter you buy when you don’t want drama. For the money (£83.77 ex-VAT), it’s sensible value if you’re trying to duplicate one DVI source to two DVI-I displays for boardrooms, training rooms, or general AV where both screens need the same feed. ATEN also tends to be reliable in the real world—fewer weird intermittent issues than some no-name splitters—so for a reseller, it’s a safe recommendation when the use case is straightforward.

That said, don’t buy it expecting miracles outside the basics. If your setup needs different resolutions on each screen, HDCP/authentication handling, or anything beyond “one source, two identical copies,” you’ll likely end up disappointed. Also, because it’s DVI-focused, you’ll want to be sure you’re not already planning to move to HDMI/DP infrastructure without adapters turning into a nest of compatibility problems. In short: buy it if you’ve got matching DVI-I needs and want a cost-effective, dependable split; skip it if your environment is resolution/HDCP sensitive or you’re standardising on newer digital video connections.
