Tripp Lite P564-001 – DVI-D Y Splitter Cable Male to 2x Female 1ft

Product Overview

The Tripp Lite P564-001 is a DVI-D Y splitter cable that connects one DVI-D male output from a computer or graphics card to two DVI-D female inputs simultaneously, allowing both monitors to display the same image from a single video source. At 1 foot in length, this DVI splitter is designed to bridge directly between a host device and two monitors positioned in close proximity, making it appropriate for dual-monitor mirroring in conference room presenter setups, trade show displays, and retail digital signage applications where two screens must show identical content. The molded, double-shielded construction provides EMI/RFI protection to maintain signal integrity across both outputs.

Product Description

The P564-001 provides a cost-effective method for mirroring a DVI video signal to two monitors from a single DVI-D output without the need for an active splitter or powered distribution amplifier in short-run applications. One DVI-D male connector plugs into the source device's DVI output, and two DVI-D female connectors accept the monitor cables, allowing both screens to receive the same signal simultaneously.

The cable supports digital video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p), making it suitable for standard HD commercial display applications. It is important to note that both DVI-D female connectors must have a monitor connected for the cable to function correctly—leaving one female port open will negatively affect video quality on the connected monitor. For installations requiring only one active monitor, an active DVI splitter or distribution amplifier should be used instead.

The 1-foot cable length is intentionally short, designed for use at the source device rather than as a long distribution run. Molded connectors and double-shielded cable construction reduce EMI/RFI interference that can cause signal degradation. Both monitor connections can then use standard DVI cables of the desired length to reach each display. This approach keeps the splitter close to the video source and uses full-length individual monitor cables for the display runs.

Key Features

• DVI-D Y Splitter Configuration — One DVI-D male connects to the source; two DVI-D female connectors accept monitor cables, mirroring the same video signal to both displays simultaneously.
• Supports Up to 1920 x 1080 Resolution — Compatible with digital video resolutions up to 1080p on both connected monitors.
• Short 1-Foot Length — Designed to connect directly at the video source with individual monitor cables running from each female port to the respective displays.
• Double-Shielded Construction — Molded, double-shielded cable reduces EMI/RFI interference that could degrade signal quality at the source split point.
• Both Ports Must Be Connected — The P564-001 requires both DVI-D female ports to have a monitor connected for proper video output; an open port will degrade signal quality on the active monitor.
• Digital DVI-D Signal — Carries digital DVI-D signals only; not compatible with analog DVI-A or DVI-I analog components.
• Cost-Effective Passive Splitter — No external power required for short-run mirroring applications where both monitors are in close proximity to the source device.
