Product Features
Technical Overview
This DVI splitter utilizes Single Link DVI-D technology to transmit both video and 3.5mm audio signals simultaneously. The device supports HDCP, EDID, and DDC protocols, ensuring compatibility with modern display systems and content protection standards.
The signal booster technology embedded in the splitter actively regenerates the DVI signal, preventing degradation over longer cable runs. This enables stable video distribution beyond standard distance limitations while maintaining image quality and synchronization between connected displays.
Relevant factors for this section include Number of Input Devices Supported, Device Supported, Number of Displays Supported, Graphics Modes. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
The B116-002A combines regulatory compliance with practical performance features for demanding installation environments. Its TAA compliance makes it eligible for government procurement through GSA Schedule contracts, while the cascading capability provides scalability for larger display networks.
Extended Distance Operation
The integrated signal booster allows reliable operation up to 16.4 feet, overcoming standard DVI distance limitations without external amplifiers.
- Active signal regeneration
- Maintains signal integrity
- No additional equipment needed
Scalable Display Networks
Cascade up to three levels of splitters to expand from a single source to multiple display endpoints throughout a facility.
- Supports complex installations
- Maintains signal quality across cascades
- Flexible deployment options
Deployment / Use Cases
This DVI splitter is ideal for government offices, educational institutions, corporate boardrooms, and security monitoring centers where identical visual information must be displayed across multiple screens. The TAA compliance specifically addresses federal procurement requirements for secure installations.
Common applications include digital signage networks, training room displays, control room monitoring systems, and presentation environments where a single computer source needs to drive two identical displays. The cascading capability makes it suitable for larger installations requiring distribution to four, six, or more displays from a single source.
Government & Secure Facilities
TAA compliance ensures eligibility for federal procurement, making this splitter suitable for government offices, military installations, and secure facilities requiring compliant video distribution solutions.
Corporate & Education Environments
Distribute presentations, training materials, or monitoring feeds across multiple displays in boardrooms, classrooms, or control centers with consistent image quality and synchronization.

FAQ
What video resolutions does this DVI splitter support?
The Tripp Lite B116-002A supports computer video resolutions up to WUXGA (1920 x 1200) and HD resolutions up to 1080p. It utilizes DVI-D Single Link technology to maintain signal quality at these resolutions across both connected displays simultaneously.
How far can I place displays from this splitter?
With its built-in signal booster, this splitter supports reliable operation up to 16.4 feet (5 meters) between the splitter and connected displays. This extends beyond standard DVI distance limitations without requiring additional signal amplification equipment.
Can I connect more than two displays using this splitter?
Yes, you can cascade up to three levels of these splitters together to expand from a single source to multiple displays. This allows you to create display networks with 4, 6, or more endpoints while maintaining signal integrity throughout the cascaded system.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance means this splitter meets federal procurement requirements for government purchases through GSA Schedule contracts. It ensures the product is manufactured in a designated country (Taiwan in this case) and is eligible for use in secure government installations.
Does this splitter support audio along with video?
Yes, the B116-002A transmits both DVI-D Single Link video signals and 3.5mm audio signals to two sets of DVI monitors and speakers. This allows synchronized audio-video distribution for presentations, multimedia content, and monitoring applications.
What protocols and standards does this splitter support?
This splitter supports HDCP for content protection, EDID for automatic display configuration, and DDC for communication between the source and displays. These protocols ensure compatibility with modern computers, media players, and display systems while maintaining proper signal handshaking.
