Calculate and Total Delays for Channel A
Delay 1 500 m coax cable x 4.17 ns/m = 2.085 μs
Delay 2 Coax repeater; 901 ns + 100 ns = 1.001 μs
Delay 3 1000 m coax cable x 4.17 ns/m = 4.17 μs
Delay 4 Fiber repeater; 901 ns + 153 ns = 1.054 μs
Delay 5 3500 m fiber cable x 5.01 ns/m = 17.535 μs
Delay 6 Fiber modules; 153 + 901 ns + 94 ns = 1.148 μs
Delay 7 100 m fiber cable x 5.01 ns/m = 0.501 μs
