Overview

About the TraSource

Specifications

The TraSource optical traceable clock uses clock source regeneration technology to trace back to high-accuracy time and frequency reference sources, and employs high-accuracy clock transfer technology to achieve cascaded optical fiber networking and distribution. It provides common timing output interfaces such as TOD, PTP, and E1, which can be further expanded to meet last-mile application needs, while also featuring performance monitoring capabilities for other time and frequency synchronization equipment.

TraSource features natural heat dissipation and an online hot-swappable chassis mechanism. It adopts an all-in-one integrated design combining clock control modules, synchronization protocol modules, power management units, and more. Each CoT output interface forms a synchronization link with the CoT input interface of downstream node equipment, and any node can simultaneously receive two channels of CoT timing signals to achieve redundancy and ring topologies.

TraSource achieves time and frequency synchronization over a single optical fiber transmission medium. The time offset between master and slave traceable clocks is independent of the number of cascaded hops, maintaining a time offset of ≤10 ns between any nodes. It supports a maximum of ≥30 cascaded nodes on a single link and a single-hop distance of ≥80 km.

TraSource can operate as various clock types, including time and frequency traceability equipment, terrestrial time-frequency synchronization network nodes, time-frequency monitoring equipment, and time servers. It is widely used in national/regional terrestrial time and frequency traceability systems, power grid time synchronization networks, 5G network time synchronization, railway and rail transit time synchronization systems, airport autonomous time synchronization networks, clustered frequency source monitoring and calibration, command center time servers, and precision time and frequency transfer for research institutions.
