Matrox RG Series – User Guide

Step-by-step connection setup

1

Connect your unit to your 
interface card

To connect your ATC RG unit to your 
interface card, you need a dual LC optical 
cable (sold separately).

Connect one end of your optical cable to the 
optical connector of your interface card. 
Connect the other end of your cable to the 
optical connector on your unit. Make sure 
your connectors are properly connected.

2

Connect your monitors

ATC RG-400SL

 – Connect your monitors to 

the monitor connectors at the back of your 
ATC RG unit.

If your monitors have DVI connectors, 
connect them directly to the monitor 
connectors at the back of your unit.

If your monitors have HD-15 connectors, 
you need DVI-to-HD15 adapters to connect 
your monitors to the monitor connectors on 
your unit.

WARNING:

 Because the body of your ATC RG unit is used to disperse heat, it may become 

warm to the touch. Make sure your unit is located in a well ventilated area and nothing is 
blocking its ventilation holes. 

Note:

 The maximum length of optical 

cable supported by your Matrox product is 
250 meters/750 feet. For more 
information, 

see “Product information”,
