Has any progress been made in the use of optical fibre for start timing cables?
The current FIS timing booklet mentions "Optical Cables: If a converter is necessary between timing cables and optical cables, then the converter must be approved by the FIS."
I read James' response to a similar question several years ago: http://timingguys.com/eve/foru...117044973#7117044973
I understand the technical hurdles, however there are possible solutions.
Does anyone know of converters? Either approved by FIS, or adequate for local fun races?
