    Available Antenna Cables and Accessories for Longer Runs Arbiter Systems offers longer antenna cables for use with all models of clocks when the standard 15-meter (50-foot) cable is inadequate. For RG-6 cable runs greater than 250 feet, up to 500 feet, Arbiter offers a 21-dB in-line amplifier, P/N AS0044700.

    Timing Output Description When viewing the rear panels of the Model 1092A/B/C and 1093A/B/C, you will see a number of different types of connectors as illustrated in Figure 8.1. Generally, there is a power inlet connector, a GPS antenna connector, two DB-9 serial connectors (one is an optional RS-232 port), one optional SPDT relay connector, one optional and two standard timing outputs.

You will notice that the while modulated IRIG-B is distinctive because of the 1 kHz sinewave carrier, it is similar to unmodulated IRIG-B since the peak-to-peak values of the carrier follow the same form as the peaks of the digital waveform, which contain the information.

  • Page 72: Connecting The Outputs

    Timing, IRIG-B and Pulses Connecting the Outputs All clocks come equipped with Phoenix-style, screw terminal connectors, which are compatible with twisted pair cabling. To attach, strip the wires bare, DO NOT tin with solder, insert into the correct screw terminal positions and tighten clockwise. To adapt coaxial cabling to the 1092/93 terminal connectors, use a BNC Breakout , or other similar adapter.
  • Page 73: Connecting Unmodulated Irig-B

    8.4 Connecting the Outputs 8.4.4 Connecting Unmodulated IRIG-B To drive multiple loads from one unmodulated IRIG-B output, make sure that the loads are wired in parallel. A common term for this is “Daisy-Chaining”, however the idea is to drive all of these loads in parallel from a single output.
  • Page 74: Wire Losses

    Timing, IRIG-B and Pulses 8.4.6 Wire Losses Another factor affecting the available voltage is the resistive losses through the cabling. Wire has a certain resistivity associated with it that is determined by its metallic composition, and resistance determined by the diameter and length. For example, single-strand, 22 AWG (bare, enamel-coated) copper wire has a resistance of approximately 19.6 ohms per 1000 feet.
  • Page 75: Solutions

    8.4 Connecting the Outputs Since electromagnetic waves travel slower through any cable, cable manufacturers normally specify cable with a velocity factor (VF), which is a percentage of the speed of light in free space, and characteristic of the specific cable. The Velocity Factor for the RG-6 cabling used by Arbiter Systems for GPS antenna connections, is about 83% of C.

    Options List NTP Authentication Authentication involves advanced configuration for NTP, and used to prevent tampering with the timestamps on the logs generated by devices. You can configure a device to authenticate the time sources to which the local clock is synchronized. When you enable NTP authentication, the device synchronizes to a time source only if the source carries one of the authentication keys specified by the ntp trusted-key command.
