– Copied from customer query –

I am building a demonstrator for a backup camera, and I need to do conversions from 100BASE-T1 (camera) to a 1000BASE-T switch because of other things on the network and then back to 100BASE-T1 for connection to a display. Because this is a backup camera, I need as small a latency from camera to display. I have looked through the data sheets for your media converters and for the gigabit switch, but could not find any latency indications. Can you provide some numbers for latency on these devices so I can get some idea of the delay of the system?

The latency of SPEBlox 1G (BB-SPE-F-1) is around 9.176us (round-trip latency).

The latency of GigaBlox (BB-GGB-C-1) is depends on the network load. High network loads cause packets to be buffered which increases latency. You might expect a latency of below 10us under light network loads. Under high network loads, the latency will be more like 20-50us.
