Ion DVI splitter

We have two DVI monitors on order and was just looking at the console specs online (I have to look at something while I'm waiting!) but only see one DVI port on the back that reads "Dual DVI Display".  Then the specs mention something about a splitter.  Does this come with the console or do we need to order it separately? 

 Just curious, but why only one port?

Thanks,

Pat

  • There should have been shipped with your console a small Y-adapter cable that split off to two DVI connectors. Its white and black. Check your packaging again. If not, contact your dealer about getting a replacement.
  • I am the House Electrician for an Arts School. Our ION moves around a lot and I am worried that the DVI splitter will get broken or lost. Is there a resource for getting additional cables? Or do I just get one through my rep/the factory? Or can I make one?
  • Our Ion has already come back to us with a trashed splitter cable so we need to buy a new one (the console was put back in its case with the splitter cable still attached...) It's definitely not a warranty issue, so we're just looking for an off-the-shelf replacement.

    From what I can tell the cable is a DMS-59 male to 2 DVI-I female splitter cable, and what I've found on Google, PNY part number CALI0097 seems to be a good match? Although these seem readily available in the US/Canada, I'm struggling to find any online availability (in stock) in the UK. I can source the equivalent Molex part (88768-5300) from RS at a good price, but as a special order item it will take a few days to arrive - which will be fine if there's nothing more readily available over here.
