Eight outputs, one power lead, zero configuration. Exactly what the shop floor needed
Louie G. Used for: 3–6 months
Pros
Rack-width metal case with proper mounting ears
Cons
Status LEDs are far too bright in a dark room
Comment
Proper metal case with ears that bolt straight into a 19 inch rack, which is more than most boxes at this money bother with. The LEDs on the front are savagely bright though, and in a dark AV cupboard behind a glass door they light up the whole corridor. A strip of electrical tape sorted it!

Pros
Copes with eight long runs without a booster
Cons
Drops every screen to match the weakest one on the chain
Comment
Feeds eight screens around a showroom off one player, runs between 3 and 12 metres, and the picture is identical on all of them. What caught me out is EDID: hang one old 1080p panel on output seven and every screen drops to 1080p, including the 4K ones. Once that panel went on its own source the rest climbed back up. Worth reading up on before you wire a building, because it is not a fault, it is simply how splitters work.

Cons
The supplied power brick is flimsy next to the unit
Comment
No complaints about the splitter itself, which has fed 8 outputs in a sports bar since the summer without a single blank screen on a match day. The weak point is the power supply that comes with it: a light little brick with a barrel plug that pulls straight out if the cable is tugged, which in a rack full of other cables is a matter of when rather than if. Mine is cable-tied to the rail. Ten months in, no other issues at all.

Pros
Cheap way to put one feed on eight screens
Comment
Straight out of the box onto a rack shelf and it just worked
Grace E. Used for: 1–3 months
Pros
Replaced two daisy-chained cheap splitters with one box
Comment
Was running two 1x4 splitters chained together to get seven feeds, and the second one in the chain lost sync every time the player restarted. One box with 8 outputs has made all of that go away. Cost about what the two cheap ones came to together, and it has not needed a single reboot in the eight weeks since. Should have done it that way the first time round
Jack N. Used for: 1–3 months
Pros
Eight identical feeds and not one handshake problem
Comment
Eight screens off a single media player and every one of them locked up first time, no fuss
Isla D. Used for: More than a year
Cons
No individual output switching, it is all or nothing
Comment
Does what a splitter does and does it reliably, but do not confuse it with a matrix. All eight outputs carry the same picture, always, and there is no way to blank one screen without pulling its cable out. We wanted one screen showing something different over Christmas and ended up buying a second box. Read the spec twice; the name does tell you.
Theo F. Used for: Less than a month
Pros
4K at 60Hz held on all eight outputs on short runs
Cons
Only as good as your worst HDMI cable
Comment
Tested it properly before committing it to the wall: 4K at 60Hz held on all eight outputs with 2m leads, and dropped to 30Hz the moment I hung a cheap 10m cable on output three. That is the cable rather than the box, but it does mean this thing will expose every bad lead in your cupboard. Buy decent ones at the same time and it is faultless!
Arthur B. Used for: More than a year
Pros
Runs day and night in a hot cupboard without complaint
Cons
The metal case gets seriously warm
Comment
Lives in a comms cupboard driving the digital signage in a leisure centre and has been powered up continuously since it went in. The case does get hot. Not dangerous hot, but hot enough that I moved it off the shelf where it was sandwiched between a switch and a patch panel and gave it a gap of its own. Two years on with that gap and it has not dropped a frame.
