RuggedRouter® User Guide
The RuggedRouter provides a method to account for this delay. The table below
gives some examples of the delay that can be expected for a given dielectric type.
Please note that cable characteristics varies from one manufacturer to the other.
Dielectric Type Time Delay in ns/m (ns/ft)
Solid Polyethylene 4.62 (1.54)
Foam Polyethylene (FE) 3.81 (1.27)
Foam Polystyrene (FS) 3.36 (1.12)
Air Space Polyethylene (ASP) 3.45-3.63 (1.15-1.21)
Solid Teflon (ST) 4.38 (1.46)
Air Space Teflon (AST) 3.39-3.60 (1.13-1.20)
IRIGB/IEEE1588 Configuration
IRIGB/IEEE1588 Main Menu
This menu allows you to configure IRIGB and IEEE1588, display its current status
and review historical changes.
General Configuration
Figure 209: IRIGB/IEEE1588 General Configuration menu
This menu allow you to configure general parameters.
The Reference Clock Selection field selects the order in which to prefer reference
clocks.
The Cable Compensation field specifies the value, in nanoseconds, that will be used
to compensate for the cable type and length. The compensation is done using integer
nanosecond values. Fractional decimal values will be truncated.
