KEY FEATURES

nnnn

Cost-Effective Upgrade Path

nnnn

Ability to Expand System Outputs as

nnnn

Needed (Add Outputs One at a Time)

nnnn

Capacity at the High End is Extensive

nnnn

Dual Redundant Power Supplies

nnnn

Can Be Hot-Swapped to Maintain

nnnn

Continuous Operation

nnnn

1 U Rack Mount Chassis

nnnn

SFP Transceiver Sockets Enable Easy

nnnn

Reconfiguration

nnnn

The Universal Time & Frequency System

nnnn

(UTFS) distributes precise time and frequen-

nnnn

cy signals via optical fiber to local and

nnnn

remote locations. At the front end of the

nnnn

UTFS is the Universal Time Code Generator

nnnn

(UTCG), a state-of-the-art multiplexer that

nnnn

links to

nnnn

frequency, 1PPS and IRIG-B references. In

nnnn

turn, the UTCG simultaneously outputs all

nnnn

timing signals—RF signals, serial time

nnnn

codes and pulsed outputs—on a single fiber

nnnn

to as many as four Time Code Translators

nnnn

(TCTs) at remote locations.

nnnn

The Fiberoptic Distribution Amplifier pro-

nnnn

vides a means to expand beyond the four

nnnn

fiberoptic outputs from the UTCG.

nnnn

Customers starting out with a minimal con-

nnnn

figuration system

nnnn

can readily add functionality—in the form

nnnn

of additional Time Code Translators with

nnnn

accompanying output modules—as organi-

nnnn

zational needs and budgets increase.

nnnn

EXPANSIVE CAPABILITY

nnnn

For example, a Fiberoptic Distribution

nnnn

Amplifier with one input transceiver and 8

nnnn

output transceivers can multiply one UTCG

nnnn

output to 8. In this scenario, the customer

nnnn

can add 32 fiberoptic outputs to the system

nnnn

by adding four expansion chassis. By adding

nnnn

one more distribution level, the number of

nnnn

fiberoptic outputs and potential TCTs in the

nnnn

system can increase to at least 256. And

nnnn

upgrading is as easy as adding hardware.

nnnn

No configuration is necessary. Hot swap

nnnn

SFP sockets for fiber optic transceivers pro-

nnnn

vides easy expansion or transceiver

nnnn

replacement for different networks. An AC

nnnn

or DC hot swap redundant supply can be

nnnn

ordered with the unit.
