The MT103-115 is a 2-in 2-out VGA to CAT-5
transmitter card. The MT103-115 card transmits
computer video signals over twisted pair CAT-5
(Category 5, 5e, 6) type cable. The MT103-115
must be used with a compatible CAT-5 receiver like
the MT103-116 card or the stand alone DA1921SX
receiver.

1280x1024: 350ft/107m
1600x1200: 250ft/76m
The use of CAT-5 cable is an alternative to the
traditional method of using RGB or VGA type
multi-channel coaxial cable. This solution is very
desirable due to the fact that CAT-5 cable is
thinner, more flexible and less costly than
multi-channel coaxial cable. Furthermore, many
facilities already have a CAT-5 cable infrastructure,
allowing this solution to reduce the amount of labor
and intrusion required for retrofit installations.

The MT103-115 offers two 15-pin HD female input
connectors (Plug & Play compatible with built-in
EDID), and two RJ-45 female output connectors.
The MT103-115 can transmit signal resolutions
from VGA thru UXGA. Together with an
MT103-116 receiver card and properly adjusted
with built-in equalization controls, the maximum
cable distance is approximately 500 feet/152
meters for VGA (640x480, 60Hz refresh) and 250
feet/ 76 meters for UXGA (1600x1200, 60Hz
refresh). Please see the complete specifications for
other resolutions.

LED is still not lit, see Cause 3.
enclosure.
Cause 3: Card cage slot has a problem.
Step 2. Slide the MT103-115 into an available slot
in the Multi-Tasker™. Make sure the card
fits into place. Secure the card by
tightening the retainer screws located on
the top and bottom of the card.
Solution 1: Test the card in other slots. If other
slots work, the problem is the card
cage slot. The card cage may
require service. Call ALTINEX at
(714) 990-2300. If the other slots do
not work, see Solution 2.
Step 3. Turn ON the power to the Multi-Tasker™
enclosure.
Solution 2: Take any other known good card
with an LED and verify that the slot
used is good by seeing if the other
card’s LED lights in that slot. If it
lights, then the original card may be
the source of the problem. Call
ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.
Step 4. The LED on the card panel will turn RED
indicating that the card is in full operation.
Step 5. Connect a VGA cable from the video
source to the MT103-115 input connector.
Step 6. The power LED will turn GREEN,
indicating an input signal is present.
Step 7. Connect the MT103-115 output connector
to the Receiver (MT103-116) thru a
CAT-5 cable.
7.2 NO DISPLAY
Cause 1: The source has a problem.
Solution: Check the source and make sure
that there is a signal present and all
source connections are correct. If
the source is working and there is
still no display, see Cause 2.
OPERATION
7
There is only one adjustment necessary to operate
the MT103-115. The adjustment is for equalization
on long cable runs. It is adjustable according to the
cable length.
Cause 2: Cable connections are incorrect.
Solution: Make sure the cables are connected
properly. Also, make sure the
continuity and wiring are good. If
there is still no display, see Cause 3.
The unit will operate successfully as long as cables
are attached properly and other technical
specifications are followed.
Cause 3: The display has a problem.

Solution: Make sure that the display is
powered. If there is still no display,
call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.
We have carefully tested and have found no
problems in the supplied MT103-115; however, we
would like to offer suggestions for the following:
7.1 LED IS NOT LIT
Cause 1: Card cage is not plugged in.
Solution: Plug in the card cage. If the LED
turns ON, the problem is solved. If
not, see Cause 2.
