Most of the runs will be indoors, the "Harshest Environment" will be dealing with the occasional mice! I'm thinking about running RG-6 Quad shield cable. On second thought, my "Harshest Environment" will probably be the "technician" that will be attempting to trouble shoot a non-existent problem! The longest runs will be less than 150 feet, and the delay compensation will be calculated into all the runs involved. The color coding, or grouping, i.e. red for IRIG-B, Blue for 1PPS, would be to reduce the chances of a disconnected cable being placed onto the incorrect connector.

I'm interested to know how long your cable runs are going to be and the environment you are in (benign, harsh...). From past experience if very long distances in high noise environments you may want to think about using fibre optic links. Also, you need to look at delay compensation for your timing signals..
