Connecting 1-PPS and 10-MHz Timing Devices to the Switch
The switch has four SubMiniature B (SMB) connectors that support 1-PPS and 10-MHz timing devices
(see
Figure 37 on page
94).
NOTE: Ensure that a cable of 3 m or less in length is used for the 10-MHz and 1-PPS connectors.
To connect the SMB coaxial cable to the external clocking input port:
1. Connect one end of the SMB coaxial cable to either the socket labeled IN on the 1-PPS SMB
connector or the 10-MHz SMB connector on the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the SMB coaxial cable to the 1-PPS or 10-MHz source network equipment.
