FWIW the round-trip delay on our 900km White Rabbit link looks like so (lower graphs. upper are a local Cs-clock vs. the fiber-time): http://monitor.mikes.fi/mikes_kaja/ No fault-lines, earthquakes, or volcanoes in Finland I'm afraid. That's a standard 2-fiber (separate TX and RX fibers) DWDM

Hi Magnus, Could you please give us some idea of the magnitude of these effects? Even if just whether we are talking about nano, pico, or femtoseconds? Thank you, Peter On 2 September 2018 at 12:17, Magnus Danielson wrote: > Hi Gerhard, > > I see that this became a

Question: Supposing you buy a bundle of a couple of dozen fibers inside one outer jacket: Can anyone give me an idea of how well the individual fibers are likely to be matched in delay, and in delay tempco? Dana On Sun, Sep 2, 2018 at 1:46 PM Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: > > > In

Hi Motion at a fault line can be a bit chaotic. As that motion stretches (or stops stretching) the cable the delay is likely to change. How much does it change? no idea. If vibration messes with it, stretch should as well. Hopefully the fiber “spiralt” inside the outer jacket is enough to

Why should there be a variation in the fiber's delay across an active fault line? The fiber could only break at the fault line, lay down more fiber than needed, to compensate the movement, and the delay doesn't change. On Sun, Sep 2, 2018 at 4:51 PM Bob kb8tq wrote: > > Hi > > Tidal effects can

Hi Tidal effects can be very “non linear” as you approach a coast line. Lots of change over a fairly short distance. If indeed the world decides to put in a global PTTI fiber system, all of this would get into the mix on some links. It appears that the existing technology would handle the
