StarTech.com 1 ft VGA to 2x VGA Video Splitter Cable – M/F

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you just need a quick, low-cost way to duplicate one VGA output to two VGA inputs (think older monitors, basic teaching rooms, legacy projectors), this StarTech 1 ft splitter cable is exactly the kind of boring-but-useful item that saves hassle. At £12.13 ex-VAT, the price feels fair for a compact passive splitter where you’re not expecting miracles—just “one signal, two screens,” close together. StarTech’s the sort of brand that’s usually dependable in the trenches, so you’re less likely to get weird intermittents than with no-name alternatives.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this if you need long runs or you’re trying to drive high-resolution, fussy displays: passive VGA splitters can get touchy with distance and can slightly reduce signal strength. Also, if you’re splitting for a modern office setup, you might be better off going HDMI/DisplayPort (with proper active distribution) rather than continuing down the VGA path. But for short-distance duplication of legacy kit—£12 well spent.
