StarSyncTM 6850 Stratum 1 NTP Server/PTP IEEE-1588v2 Grandmaster, PRC/PRS/BITS
The StarSyncTM 6850 from CXR Larus is a 19-inch rack-mountable Network Time Protocol (NTP)/Precise Time Protocol (PTP IEEE-1588v2) reference source that provides superior timestamping accuracy and redundant configurability. The server is also optionally capable of accepting a Stratum level reference signal via NTP from a network peer. When combined with the CXR Larus 6800 Client/PTP Slave, the CXR Larus Model 6850 is the perfect cellular backhaul timing solution.
The StarSyncTM 6850 uses highly accurate NTP and PTP (PTP/IEEE1588V2 Grandmaster Clock) technology. With timestamping performed in the hardware, the StarSync 6850 provides wirespeed NTP/PTP with unparalleled accuracy while decreasing vulnerability to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. In the event that a direct connection with the GPS is interrupted, and without the use of an internal or external Rubidium oscillator—the StarSync 6850 maintains Stratum 2 synchronization. This accuracy is preserved because the StarSync 6850 will engage with other StarSync 6850s in the same network to retrieve the necessary timing information.Because of its integrated platform, the StarSync 6850 replaces previous generations’ equipment at a lower total cost of ownership. The network timing distribution capabilities of the StarSync 6850 reduces the need for expensive Rubidium or Cesium timing elements in the network; however, a Rubidium internal oscillator option is available for standalone or central office deployments.
If your GPS antenna has to be located farther than 500 feet from the StarSyncTM 6850 system, consider the optional DUC GPS Antenna Extender Kit to avoid the hassles and cost of running expensive special low loss cable.
