I ordered these splitters but the cable is so short how are you able to get them to 2 monitors is there something I am missing ?

Barry, I believe that the two monitors have to either be stacked or side by side with each other.

The splitter should be attached to your computer and the wires run from your monitor into the corresponding connection on the splitter. If there is something that you are missing it is the wires.

You will probably need two DVI cables (connect from splitter to the monitor) or if you have VGA cales, you will need DVI to VGA adapters (available at Amazon or Walmart) to connect to the splitter and then connect the VGA cable from Adapter to the monitor.

You need DVI cables that runs from the monitor to the connectors. The MOLEX connector is basically something that converts the strang connector on the back of the computer into more connectors more normally found on the back of computers.

You need a Y splitter. When I ordered mine, they sent it with the PC. Amazon has some that very inexpensive.

This is a splitter, not a switch.For two computers to a single monitor, you need a switch.

This splitter is best used to split an incoming single HDMI signal outto multiple monitors. It sounds like you are trying to send theverizon signal to the TV and the Blue Ray Signal to the TV as well.That connection will require two seperate inputs as you will mostlikely need to select which input to use when viewing TV vs Blue Ray.I hope this helps. It's the best I could come up with from the info inyour question.

Yes as previously said you would need active adapters. Not sure if you already know this but a splitter just recreates the same image on 2 screens. If you want 4 monitors displaying 2 monitors worth of images then yes that would work. If you want 4 separate images on each monitor then you need active adapters for each port.

No, not necessarily. This will adapt from one connection type to another, it does not split the monitors itself. I used this to adapt an older monitor for a dual monitor setup but this part along will not duplicate or extend a monitor.

This is splitter NOT extender and it will not extend your display.. It will only split ( Duplicate ) your display.The cable is too short. 15cm

That one would not work for me either. Returned and purchased OREI HD-104 1x4 4 Ports HDMI Powered Splitter for Full HD 1080P & 3D Support (One Input To Four Outputs) This works great to split cable signal to other tv's. Works without delay.

Yes, that is how my setup is: http://i.imgur.com/vc7h9mm.jpgHere's the trick though, you need to buy 2 of these. I know there are directions that say "the third monitor must use the adapter" but it's actually 2 out of the 3 screens need to have them in order to work. I'm using an older mac pro tower and it has 2 mini display ports and 1 dvi. I have the 2 mini display cables each running through an Accell adapter, and then my third screen goes straight from dvi to hdmi to the TV. Make sure all of your connections are seated properly, I thought my adapters went out but it was the weight of the cable "pulling" slightly on my HDMI. I've been using these for a few months now and they haven't failed yet! Yes, that is how my setup is: http://i.imgur.com/vc7h9mm.jpgHere's the trick though, you need to buy 2 of these.

I'm not sure how it would work for you, I have old and new equipment I'm using together. The monitor 1 & 2 is for the monitors. I ran cable from the unit Monitor 1 to a splitter(?) and from the unit monitor 2 to the splitter then from the one side of the splitter ran cable to the DVR so i have 1 monitor in 1 room and the other monitor in another room. (You need long cable of course) but it works. Doing it this way, both monitors show the same view. My monitors are the flat screen tvs that have cable/hdmi/computer availability. They are both the cheapest brands, but work great. Hope this helps. I'm not sure how it would work for you, I have old and new equipment I'm using together. The monitor 1 & 2 is for the monitors.

What do you mean by 'a splitter'? If you mean having 2 connections off the DVI connection, then no. If you just mean use a DVI>VGA adapter, so 1 monitor plugged into VGA port and another plugged into the adapter on the DVI, then yes.If you have 2 DVI only monitors, you should be able to use the DVI port for one and use a DVI>HDMI cable to use the HDMI port for the other.

I used a cable splitter. One connection for the cable to go to the TV and another for the adapter.

This cable will only duplicate 2 monitors. You will have your main screen example if you are using this on a laptop. Then you will have your laptop screen and you will have a extra screen on two monitors. Both of these monitors will display the same thing. If you want 3 separate monitors you will need another video card. I know they have a few Usb video card options

No. Because the signal strength degrades. I plug in my TV only with a 25' direct cable, (note: get a cable with audio mini attached for sound and make sure that it is long enough, some mini's are short) I do not use the splitter. I have found that the splitter does not work with two monitors at a time.

You need a HDMI switch to do multiple in to one out. The splitter just amplifies the input signal and sends it out to two ports. It doesn't separate the signals like a switch does.
