Adapters & Switching

Our adapters & switching range is for the connections that need a little help: sending one source to several screens, choosing between several sources on one screen, and joining plugs and sockets that do not match. We stock HDMI splitters, AV switches, HDMI adapters and coaxial adapters, along with some monitor, SCART, USB and networking adapters. Start with the connection you have and the one you need.

HDMI splitters or AV switches

Start with the direction your picture needs to travel. An HDMI splitter shows the same picture from one source, such as a set-top box, on more than one screen. We stock HDMI splitters: some feed two screens, and some feed four or eight. An HDMI switch works the other way round, letting several sources share one screen while you choose which one plays.

A few of our switches go further: a matrix sends several sources to several screens, a multi-viewer shows several sources on one screen at once, and some come with a remote control. For sound, some switches run more than one pair of speakers from one amplifier, and some let more than one source share an amplifier input. A few are built for commercial sound systems, so check they suit your amplifier.

HDMI adapters that join, extend or convert

Our HDMI adapters solve the small problems behind a screen. A coupler joins two HDMI leads end to end, a right-angle adapter turns the plug where space is tight, and a micro adapter lets a full-size lead fit a micro HDMI socket.

A few do more than join leads. Audio extractors send the sound from an HDMI signal to an amplifier or soundbar through an optical output, a repeater strengthens the signal along a long run, and an extender kit carries HDMI over a network cable. Some convert between HDMI and older composite video, and some let a computer capture an HDMI source. Many of the adapters we stock have gold-plated connectors, which resist tarnish.

Monitor adapters for computers and screens

A monitor adapter connects a computer to a screen when the two sockets do not match. Some take DisplayPort to HDMI or VGA, and some take HDMI to VGA or VGA to HDMI. Read the name as source first and screen second, because an adapter built for one direction may not work in the other. VGA carries picture only, so for sound, choose a VGA to HDMI adapter that carries audio too. Some take power from a USB socket, so make sure one is free nearby.

SCART adapters for older equipment

A SCART adapter keeps older players, recorders and televisions in use. A few convert SCART to HDMI so an older device can feed a modern TV, and a few go the other way, from HDMI to SCART. Some break SCART out to phono and S-Video, and some are splitters with a manual switch, so two devices can share one SCART socket. Where a converter offers PAL or NTSC, choose PAL for a UK television.

Cable and satellite adapters for coaxial leads

Coaxial leads carry aerial, cable and satellite TV, and we stock coaxial and F connector adapters to suit them. Some are couplers that join two leads, some link the push-fit coaxial TV plug with the screw-on F connector, and a few are twist-on F connectors, so check the cable diameter they take in the product details.

Several are splitters: Y splitters turn one coaxial plug into two sockets, and satellite F splitters give two or three outputs. Splitting shares the signal between outlets, so a weak signal may give a poorer picture. Some kits extend a pair of satellite leads.

Networking and USB adapters

Networking adapters sort out phone-line and wired network connections. Some are broadband filters, which let a phone and broadband share one phone socket, a few are splitters and inline couplers for phone-line leads, and some give a device with USB-C a wired Ethernet socket.

A USB adapter changes one USB connection to another. Some take a USB-C plug to a Type-A socket, and a few take a Type-A plug to a USB-C socket, so the lead you have fits your device. Some are on-the-go adapters, for plugging a USB device into a phone or tablet that supports it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an HDMI splitter and an HDMI switch?
A splitter copies one source to more than one screen, so the screens show the same picture. A switch does the opposite, letting several sources take turns on one screen. If you need several sources on several screens, look at a matrix switch.

Will an HDMI splitter work with an Ultra HD TV?
It will if the splitter supports Ultra HD, so check the resolution in the product details before you buy. Check the HDCP version as well, because a mismatch with your source or screens can leave copy-protected content showing a blank picture.

How can I make an HDMI connection reach further?
For a short gap, an HDMI coupler joins two leads together. For a longer run, choose a repeater, which boosts the signal, or an extender kit, which sends HDMI over a network cable, and check the transmission distance in the product details against the length of your run.

Which monitor adapter do I need for my computer?
Look at the socket on your computer and the input on your screen, then choose the adapter that names them in that order, such as DisplayPort to HDMI for a DisplayPort computer and an HDMI screen. An adapter used the other way round may not work, so match the direction before you order.

Can I connect an older SCART device to a TV with only HDMI?
Yes. A SCART to HDMI converter turns the older signal into one an HDMI input accepts. Some of ours take power from a USB socket, so check you have one spare nearby.

Can I run two TVs from one aerial socket?
Yes, a coaxial Y splitter turns one plug into two sockets, so two leads can share the aerial socket. Splitting divides the signal between them, so if your reception is already weak, the picture on both may suffer.

Do these adapters need their own power?
Simple couplers and plug-to-socket adapters pass the signal straight through, but converters, extractors and active splitters may need power. Some of ours take it from a USB socket, so check the power requirements in the product details before you buy.
