Setting Cable Lengths for Interconnected Chassis

You can specify the length of the sync cable(s) between chassis if you are required to use sync
cables other than the ones provided with a chassis. Chassis can only sync using straight through
RJ-45 cables and the Cascade In and Out ports on the Xgig chassis. The minimum value is 1 foot
and the maximum value is 100 feet. If authentication is enabled, you must provide the Xgig
password prior to setting the cable length. Providing the proper sync cable length(s) is essential to
ensure that the captures are properly time-aligned.
