Review on Legrand OnQ VM1002 1x8 Enhanced Passive Video Splitter for Optimal 1GHz Performance by Adam Alvarez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The connectors don't match the case's cutouts well

OnQ cases have 2 module carriers and 3 evenly spaced holes on the top of the case. Because of this, the rigid coax cables that run through the top holes are not aligned with the center of each rack. It's okay if you mount the module farther from the cutout so the cables have enough flex to line up with the connectors. However, you cannot mount this module on the top of the case next to the blank as only 3 of the 5 connectors are aligned with the blank and the coax cables are not flexible enough to twist to the other 2. In my case, it is bad industrial design that forces the installer to waste space inside the case for cable loops. Of course, most of the time it's a case design flaw, but it didn't affect my project until I tried to install this module.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Vulgarity
