2 microSync Introduction microSync is a multipurpose synchronization solution with compact design and high performance. The mi- croSync system provides multiple output signals and allows synchronization of both NTP clients and PTP slaves. The device has four 100/1000 MBit network interfaces and can provide both, optical and electrical network connections by using SFP modules.
