Manufacturer description

The BENFEI VGA Splitter Cable solves one specific problem: sending an identical VGA signal from a single computer output to two separate displays at the same time. The 1ft Y-splitter uses a male HD-15 connector that plugs straight into your PC or laptop, with two female VGA sockets on the other end that accept standard VGA cables (sold separately). It mirrors, rather than extends, so both monitors show the same picture, which makes it a practical fit for retro PC setups, dual-monitor demo stations, kiosk displays, classroom projectors, and CRT-plus-LCD test benches.

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored BENFEI VGA Splitter Cable using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro graphics & video category. BENFEI's retro graphics & video lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for retro graphics & video of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this splitter extend my desktop across two monitors?

No. It is a mirror or duplicator cable, so both displays show an identical VGA signal. Extending a desktop requires two separate graphics outputs, not a passive splitter.

What resolutions does the BENFEI VGA splitter support?

BENFEI lists 800x600 (SVGA), 1024x768 (XGA), 1600x1200 (UXGA), and 1080p for high-resolution LCD and LED monitors.

Are VGA cables included with the splitter?

No. The splitter has one male connector for your computer and two female VGA sockets. You supply the two VGA cables that run to each monitor, sold separately.

Does it carry audio to the monitors?

No. VGA is a video-only analog standard, and BENFEI notes that audio must be transmitted separately through its own cable or connection.

Will it fit my older monitor or capture device?

It uses the standard 15-pin VGA connector, also labeled RGB, DB-15, DE-15, HD-15, HDB-15, or D-sub 15, so it fits any device with that port.
