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.

Cause 2: Card is not plugged in all the way.  
INSTALLING YOUR MT103-115

Solution: Push the card in all the way. If the  
Step 1. Turn OFF the power to the Multi-Tasker™  
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.
