The Monoprice 16 Way Active Powered VGA/SVGA Splitter is a high-performance distribution amplifier designed to deliver crystal-clear video to up to 16 displays from a single VGA source. Built for reliability in classrooms, conference rooms, control centers, and crowded trade show environments, this 16-port solution ensures consistent signal integrity across all outputs. With a robust 250MHz bandwidth, it supports a wide range of VGA resolutions and cable lengths, making it an essential tool for multi-display installations where dependable performance matters. Whether you’re setting up a digital signage array, a lecture hall, or a professional presentation setup, this powered splitter is engineered to keep every screen in perfect alignment with the source signal.
- 16-channel distribution from one source: The Monoprice 16 Way Active Powered VGA/SVGA Splitter takes a single VGA input and fan-outs it to up to sixteen displays. This centralized distribution minimizes cabling complexity while maximizing the impact of your content across multiple screens. The active design buffers and regenerates the signal for each output, reducing degradation that typically occurs with passive splitters over long cable runs.
- High-bandwidth performance for crisp, synchronized video: With a 250MHz bandwidth, this distribution amplifier maintains sharp edges and stable color across all connected displays. It is capable of handling standard VGA resolutions—SVGA, XGA, UXGA—and sustains better image quality as you scale your setup. While actual performance depends on cable quality and display capabilities, you can expect solid, synchronized video across all 16 outputs when paired with reputable VGA cables.
- Active power design for consistent signal integrity: Unlike passive splitters that drain signal strength, this model uses active amplification to preserve brightness, contrast, and synchronization on every output. The external power supply powers the distribution amplifier, ensuring uniform signal levels even when many displays are connected. This is especially beneficial in longer cable runs or room-wide installations where signal loss can be more pronounced.
- Versatile application across environments: Ideal for classrooms, training centers, corporate boardrooms, control rooms, and event venues, the splitter supports scenarios that demand multiple displays from a single source. Its straightforward setup minimizes downtime, while the ability to drive 16 screens makes it an efficient choice for digital signage walls, live event feeds, and synchronized presentations.
- Reliable, easy-to-use design with broad compatibility: The unit uses standard VGA connectors and a simple input/output layout, reducing compatibility concerns with existing equipment. Its compact form factor and robust build are well-suited for rack mounting or desktop deployment in professional settings. Together, these features translate to a dependable solution that blends seamlessly with your current AV ecosystem.

how to install Monoprice 16 Way Active Powered VGA/SVGA Splitter
- Plan your layout: Assess the room size, display positions, and available cable routes. Identify a central location for the splitter that provides convenient access to power and cable management. Consider the length of VGA runs to each display to estimate potential signal loss and plan cabling accordingly.
- Connect the video source: Use a high-quality VGA cable to connect your computer, media player, or presentation device to the splitter’s input port. Ensure the source is set to a resolution within the supported range and test a single display first to confirm the source is functioning correctly before expanding to multiple outputs.
- Attach the displays: Connect up to sixteen VGA displays to the corresponding output ports using reliable VGA cables. For best results, use properly shielded cables of appropriate length. Avoid daisy-chaining displays through continued splits; each display should have its own dedicated cable from the splitter.
- Power up the system: Plug the external power supply into the splitter and connect it to a suitable electrical outlet. Power on the source device first, followed by the displays. The active amplifier relies on this power sequence to ensure all outputs initialize correctly.
- Configure and test: Verify that each display shows the source image. If some outputs appear dim or desynchronized, check cable quality, reseat connectors, and confirm the source’s capability to deliver a signal across all outputs. If longer runs are required, consider replacing with higher-grade cables or shortening segments to optimize performance.
- Troubleshooting tips: If a display fails to show a signal, start by disconnecting it and testing with a shorter or different cable. Confirm that the power supply is delivering adequate voltage to the splitter. If all else fails, revert to a single-output test to confirm the source is functioning and then reintroduce additional outputs gradually.
Frequently asked questions
- What resolutions does it support? The 250MHz bandwidth supports common VGA resolutions such as SVGA, XGA, and UXGA (up to 1600x1200) on appropriate cable lengths. Real-world performance depends on the source device capability, display inputs, and cable quality. For multi-display installations, ensure the source and displays are configured to compatible native resolutions to achieve the best results.
- Does it require external power? Yes. The 16-way VGA splitter is an active distribution amplifier that requires an external power supply to maintain signal strength across all outputs and minimize degradation on longer cable runs.
- Will it work with any VGA cable? It will work with standard VGA cables, but performance improves with well-made, shielded cables. Longer cable runs can introduce signal loss, so using shorter, quality cables or buffering strategies can help maintain uniform image quality across all screens.
- Can I use this splitter for a video wall? It can drive multiple displays from a single source, which is useful for multi-monitor displays and digital signage. For synchronized video walls, ensure synchronized display settings across monitors and consider aspect ratios and bezels to achieve a cohesive presentation.
- What should I do if some outputs don’t display correctly? Start with the simplest checks: confirm power is connected, verify all cables are firmly seated, and test with a known-good display. If issues persist, test with a single output to verify the source, then gradually add outputs to identify where the signal is dropping or degrading. Cable length and quality often play a critical role in signal integrity.

Great Read
Great book, I enjoyed reading it. I am non-lawyer so I spent time having to read and re-read sentences and paragraphs but darn good book. Highly recommend it. Sometimes a person can be in discussion with an official, doctor, lawyer, cop ..whatever--it helps to remember arguments made in this book. Most folks just try to explain a situation, heaven forbid standing in front of a court or judge in a legal matter. But, this type of reading builds confidence, a strong vocabulary and so forth. It matters most trying to persuade a person or an institution..just winning, making your point in a clear coherent and cognizant way. This book can teach you these things.

You don't have to like Justice Scalia to like his book.
Perhaps an appellate brief that you wrote would have been perfect if only the judge had read it. The lesson you learned, hopefully, was that there is no guarantee that a judge will read your brief. The lesson you can learn from "Making Your Case" is how to write so that the judges will read what you wrote - preferably before your oral argument. Writing in a quite candid, lucid and entertaining style, Scalia and Garner serve up tips that even the most experienced lawyers can learn from. If you find yourself approaching the court's word limit, for example, you may be minimizing the chances of having your brief read, as judges really do favor brevity. How do you write for a court that is notoriously dismissive of higher court precedents? How do you best respond to a judge who asks whether you would be content with a remand? These and other critical questions are addressed simply yet insightfully. If your legal education stressed the IRAC approach (Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion), Scalia and Garner take you a step further by stressing a syllogistic approach. Even if you have already been exposed to all the best ideas about persuading appellate judges, you are still likely to gain much rom reading "Making Your Case" because the authors organize all those ideas in a way that makes them much easier to remember and keep them in mind as you prepare your written and oral arguments. Justice Scalia calls his approach to legal reasoning and argument "textualism," which I understand to mean that his decisions are driven by the language of the law and of the case. My impression from reading many of his decisions is that he is often driven by ideology, so I can't quite square his book with his decisions. I also question the book's fundamental statement that the overriding objective of a brief is to make the court's job easier, as I prefer to write primarily for the purpose of winning the case. My criticisms of "Making Your Case" are miniscule compared to those thrown at it by Richard Posner. But although I find Judge Posner's decisions generally more fair than those of Justice Scalia, I prefer the clarity of Justice Scalia's writing - especially when he teams up with Bryan Garmer. Judge Posner notwithstanding, Scalia and Garner have put together a gem that is likely to prove invaluable for law students as well as for trial and appellate lawyers who are still interested in improving their game. If you fall into either category, buy this book, read it two or three times, and then keep it handy as a reference. It should help you make your case.

Elegant, useful
Simply the best book on legal persuasive writing ever written.
Interesting, useful, fun, full of great anecdotes. Terrific discussion of statutory interpretation. Great references to scholarly classical treatises on rhetoric. This book is wonderful both for its analysis of oral argument and for its discussion of written forms of persuasion, like briefs. I wish I had had it earlier.
My only complaint is the same one I have with virtually all modern style manuals: they advocate a simplistic prose style, characterized by short, conversational sentences, avoiding unusual words, eschewing Latin phrases. But I personally often find prose that breaks these rules a refreshing change. I enjoy reading a word or phrase I rarely see but that is perfectly chosen. And I enjoy learning new words or phrases. This book would condemn two of the greatest legal prose stylists out there: John Marshall and Learned Hand, both of whose opinions often contained sentences that would not work so well conversationally, that were full of long, convoluted sentences and classical allusions. My sense is that in this joint work Justice Scalia, who can write rich and interesting prose, pushed back against some of the simplifying strictures of his co-author.
Furthermore, I think that often too much emphasis on simple words and sentences serves to make more complex ideas too difficult to express or to understand. Thus, the book (like most books) argues against "jargon," but jargon, once learned, is often a much clearer way of expressing something than a rephrasing.
And the Roe v. Wade anecdote is great! It explains a lot...
In any case, I am hardly qualified to criticize Justice Scalia, whose writing is far beyond my own. Anyway, this is a great book.
