MRTI-to-MSF5000 Cable By Robert W. Meister WA1MIK

I have a real Motorola L1159A MRTI complete with all cables. I removed it from a working MSF CXB station so I know it's intact. This page documents the MSF5000 MRTI-to-radio cable that plugs into the 14-pin MRTI connector on the SSCB.

Motorola supplies the MSF5000 cable as their model C719-AB-SP phone patch interface option kit. The MRTI manufacturer's (Instrument Associates, Inc.) manual has nothing else about this cable.

There are multiple red wires on the MRTI end of the cable, but I don't know where these are spliced together, as each end of the cable has had shrink tubing applied.
